Color code of the C2 force transducer connection cable
C2
The C2 is a force transducer that outputs a mV/V signal
based on strain gages. An amplifier is needed to condi
tion the signal. All DC amplifiers and carrier-frequency
amplifiers designed for SG measurement systems can be
used.
Force transducers are executed in a 6-wire configuration.

The output signal is positive with this pin assignment and
load in the pressure direction. If you need a negative out
put signal in the pressure direction, exchange the red and
white wires at your amplifier input.
If the force transducer is to be connected to an amplifier
working in a 4-wire configuration, the sense leads must
be short-circuited with the relevant excitation voltage
