This weight sensor (load cell) is suitable for electronic balance and other high accuracy electronic weighing devices.

Specifications

• Rated load: 5 Kg
• Output:  2mv / v
• Temperature zero drift: 0.1% F.S
• Output sensitivity: ± 0.15mv / v
• Temperature sensitivity: 0.05% F.S
• Insulation resistance: ≥ 2000MΩ
• Excitation voltage: 5-10VDC

Wire Connection

The load cell acts like a bridge, it has 4 colored wires as follows

• VCC:             Red wire
• GND:             Black wire
• Signal +:       Green wire
• Signal -:        White wire

Installation in Weight Scale

It is recommended to use the load cell with Future Electronics Egypt weight scale analog to digital and amplifier module as shown in photo below. In this case you can connect the  weight scale module to your Arduino or Micro-controller through serial pins and record or display your measurements
