4. LOAD CELL CABLE LEGEND
The following legend describes the load cell cable color code with the description of
each colored wire in the cable. Please note that it is important to make sure that the
scale platform is electrically connected to earth ground either through the load cell
cable shield (via the lug terminated green wire) or by directly connecting the scale
platform to earth ground with an additional wire. This will reduce static and other
noise from being induced into the indicator.
For a 6-wire indicator, color code is as follows:
Wire Color Function
Red + Signal
White - Signal
Green + Excitation
Black - Excitation
Blue + Sense
Brown(or Yellow) - Sense
Green with star lug,(shield) scale platform ground
For a 4-wire indicator, color code is as follows:
Wire Color Function
Red + Signal
White - Signal
Green and Blue* + Excitation
Black and Brown(or Yellow)* - Excitation
Green with star lug(shield) scale platform ground
Note : Connect the +sense and +excitation together as well as the -sense and
-excitation together.
