Load Cell Cable Colour Code

Every load cell comes with rated capacity.

Load cell cable colour code.

Transducer techniques manufactures a complete line of load cells torque sensors and related instrumentation including data acquisition systems and data logging software. Models excitation excitation signal signal. Smart load cell systems buy online or call 800 344 3965. 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.

Loading the load cells beyond the rated value overloads the load cell. The length of the cable will make a. The load cell should deflect the same direction as the black arrow on the end of the cell. When a load cell is in use the cables will measure through resistance.

If you do not have this information then as shown in the diagram above in. However common practice per local electrical inspectors is for the first hot live or active wire to be black and the. Wiring color code diagram for transducer techniques load cells available online for download or viewing come checkout other online services. Hot active wires may be any other colors except these.

Manufacturer excitation excitation signal signal. Visually check load cells for proper orientation see below. Decals are also placed on the same side of each load cell. 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.

A 6 wire load cell will also have a sense and a sense wire which are sometimes referred to as reference and reference. 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. 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.

Shield sense sense. Each wire has a name both 4 wire and 6 wire load cells have input input signal and signal wires.
