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 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.
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.
When a load cell is in use the cables will measure through resistance.
Shield sense sense.
Visually check load cells for proper orientation see below.
Hot active wires may be any other colors except these.
Each load cell is manufactured so that the cable comes off of the same side of the cell see diagram.
Transducer techniques manufactures a complete line of load cells torque sensors and related instrumentation including data acquisition systems and data logging software.
Each wire has a name both 4 wire and 6 wire load cells have input input signal and signal wires.
All transducer sensing elements utilize the most advanced metal foil strain gauge technology.
Models excitation excitation signal signal.
Shield sense sense.
The load cell should deflect the same direction as the black arrow on the end of the cell.
Decals are also placed on the same side of each load cell.
Wiring color code diagram for transducer techniques load cells available online for download or viewing come checkout other online services.
Every load cell comes with rated capacity.
The length of the cable will make a.
The protective ground must be bare green or green yellow striped.
The us national electrical code for both ac and dc mandates that the grounded neutral conductor of a power system be white or grey.
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.
