Load Cell Cable Colour Code

The length of the cable will make a.

Load cell cable colour code.

However common practice per local electrical inspectors is for the first hot live or active wire to be black and the. If you do not have this information then as shown in the diagram above in. Smart load cell systems buy online or call 800 344 3965. Each load cell is manufactured so that the cable comes off of the same side of the cell see diagram.

Wiring color code diagram for transducer techniques load cells available online for download or viewing come checkout other online services. 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. Each wire has a name both 4 wire and 6 wire load cells have input input signal and signal wires. Visually check load cells for proper orientation see below.

Every load cell comes with rated capacity. The us national electrical code for both ac and dc mandates that the grounded neutral conductor of a power system be white or grey. Manufacturer excitation excitation signal signal. Hot active wires may be any other colors except these.

Loading the load cells beyond the rated value overloads the 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. The load cell should deflect the same direction as the black arrow on the end of the cell. The protective ground must be bare green or green yellow striped.

Decals are also placed on the same side of each load cell. A 6 wire load cell will also have a sense and a sense wire which are sometimes referred to as reference and reference. When a load cell is in use the cables will measure through resistance. All transducer sensing elements utilize the most advanced metal foil strain gauge technology.

Models excitation excitation signal signal. Shield sense sense.
