Load Cell Cable Colour Code

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.

Load cell cable colour code.

A 6 wire load cell will also have a sense and a sense wire which are sometimes referred to as reference and reference. 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. Visually check load cells for proper orientation see below. 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.

Manufacturer excitation excitation signal signal. If you do not have this information then as shown in the diagram above in. Hot active wires may be any other colors except these. Shield sense sense.

The us national electrical code for both ac and dc mandates that the grounded neutral conductor of a power system be white or grey. When a load cell is in use the cables will measure through resistance. Smart load cell systems buy online or call 800 344 3965. The load cell should deflect the same direction as the black arrow on the end of the cell.

All transducer sensing elements utilize the most advanced metal foil strain gauge technology. Every load cell comes with rated capacity. Each wire has a name both 4 wire and 6 wire load cells have input input signal and signal wires. Each load cell is manufactured so that the cable comes off of the same side of the cell see diagram.

Models excitation excitation signal signal. Loading the load cells beyond the rated value overloads the load cell. Decals are also placed on the same side of each load cell. Shield sense sense.

The length of the cable will make a. Transducer techniques manufactures a complete line of load cells torque sensors and related instrumentation including data acquisition systems and data logging software.
