Caution
Recommendation
-Install cable in steel pipe connected to a ground potential.
-The distance between the measuring cables and the power cables should be at least 1 m.
Load cell supply circuit
-Load resistance of load cell circuit >75 ¥, e.g. 8 load cells of 650 ¥ each
-Supply voltage is 12 V DC, for further data, see Chapter 12.3.
You can perform a simple test on connected load cells using a multimeter (The internal load cell power supply
does not apply to load cells supplied externally.):
4.4.4.7 Connecting Load Cells to an External Supply
When the total resistance of the load cells is <75 ¥ (e.g. more than 4 load cells with 350 ¥), an external load
cell supply is required. In this case, the internal supply is replaced by a potential-free external supply. The center
of the external supply voltage (0 ext. supply) should be connected to the housing to ensure that the voltage
reacts symmetrically to 0. The internal supply is not connected!
The cable colors shown here are valid for the PR 6135 connecting cable.
