Cabling for Load Cell PFCL 201CE

Cabling with protective hose shall be mounted so that the forces related to the weight of the cable/
hose do not act in the measuring direction of the load cell. A cable clamp is therefore necessary. If
the load cell is prevented from movement in the measuring direction- it will shunt force, and the
measured force will differ from the actual.
The favourable direction of the cable/hose is the horizontal direction to the left or right as indicated
in Figure 16. Position of cable from factory page
direction of the cable/hose due to temperature, will act perpendicular to the measuring direction of
the load cell (the direction in which the load cell is insensitive to loads).
For achievable cable directions, see
21.
The direction of the cable and protective hose can be changed by unscrewing the two screws in
the connection box and turning the cable to a suitable direction. Make sure to re-install the screws
in the connection box.
