    2 ohms. 2.7 Loadcell Connection The C3 series can drive any number of full bridge strain gauge loadcells up to the equivalent of 8 x 350 ohm cells. The span range of the loadcell outputs (the change of signal from the loadcells between zero load and full gross load) must be within the range of 0.1 to 5.0 mV/V.

When a four wire loadcell system is connected, it is necessary to ensure that the excitation voltages are fed into the sense inputs using jumper wires as shown in below diagram.
