iLoad Series Loadcells - Instructions for Optimal Performance

From Loadstar Sensors, Inc.
 

 

If you have ordered an iLoad Analog sensor with the DS-2100 or DQ-1200 interface boxes, the attached mini-B USB cable will plug directly into the interface box. If you have ordered an iLoad Analog sensor with the pigtail cable, it comes with the free end stripped. The color coding of the stripped wires is as follows:

Red: +5V DC, regulated
Black: Input power ground (0 V)
Green: +Signal
White: - Signal (signal ground)

Place the sensor in the intended location of use at least for twelve hours so that the sensor is "soaked" in that environment and has reached steady state.

Before operating the sensor, allow it to "warm up" by connecting it to power for at least
30 minutes. This allows the signal conditioning electronics to stabilize and perform more accurately.
