Load Cell Cable Colour Code

If you do not have this information then as shown in the diagram above in.

Load cell cable colour code.

Unfortunately there is no standard wiring colour code for load cells so you will need to know from data supplied with the cell which wires are the excitation wires and which wires are the signal wires see section 2 6 for colour code examples. Transducer techniques manufactures a complete line of load cells torque sensors and related instrumentation including data acquisition systems and data logging software. Loading the load cells beyond the rated value overloads the load cell. Shield sense sense.

Each wire has a name both 4 wire and 6 wire load cells have input input signal and signal wires. Smart load cell systems buy online or call 800 344 3965. Visually check load cells for proper orientation see below. Hot active wires may be any other colors except these.

All transducer sensing elements utilize the most advanced metal foil strain gauge technology. Manufacturer excitation excitation signal signal. Models excitation excitation signal signal. The length of the cable will make a.

When a load cell is in use the cables will measure through resistance. However common practice per local electrical inspectors is for the first hot live or active wire to be black and the. Shield sense sense. Wiring color code diagram for transducer techniques load cells available online for download or viewing come checkout other online services.

Decals are also placed on the same side of each load cell. Load cell wire colour codes a load cells and load pins manufactured from 01 01 2008 onwards load cell model available mounting accessories cable type and colour excitation wires signal wires ve input ve input ve output ve output load pin refer to individual load pin product data sheet for details. Each load cell is manufactured so that the cable comes off of the same side of the cell see diagram. Every load cell comes with rated capacity.

The load cell should deflect the same direction as the black arrow on the end of the cell. However if the load cell is installed correctly and the readings are still negative verify the wire connection according to the color code specified by the manufacturer.
