NOTE: Input: 0.5-150 mV/V input range – must be specified at time of order.
U.S. dimensions and capacities are provided for conversion only. Standard products have International System of Units (SI) capacities and dimensions.
The power supply for the CSC-2&3 are nominally 22 V dc (between 13 and 28 V) and CSC-6&7 are nominally 22 V dc (between 8.5 and 28 V).The power supply is common with the output at the ‘com’ connection.
Take note of the grounding arrangement particularly the bolt hole which capacitively couples the common of the CSC electronics to the strain elements in the load cell which improves the EMC performance.
The CSC-4 requires a ±14V bipolar dc power supply within the limits of ±13 V to ±15 V. The CSC-1 & CSC-5 require a 12 to 24 V uni-polar dc power supply. Ideally this should be limited to +15 V to +18 V for 350 Ohm load cells to minimize the on-board temperature rise thereby reducing any warm-up time. In both cases the power supply ground is common with the output ground at the ‘Com’ connection.
For best EMC performance use the connections shown above.
In the following connection diagrams the ‘-Supply’ connection can be ignored for models CSC-1 & CSC-5.
Refer to “Connection Details for Best EMC Immunity” above for CSC-1&5 power connections.
The power supply for the CSC-8, CSC-9 & CSC-0 is 24 V dc (within the limits of 13 V to 28 V).
The power supply should be between 7.5 and 28 V
The minimum supply for the CSC 2-WIRE version is 9 V
Please note that by design, the excitation voltage provided by a 2-wire load cell amplifier decreases as the load cell’s impedance decreases resulting in a reduction in the load cell’s output. The lower signal level requires more gain to compensate leading to a degradation in performance with regard to temperature stability and noise performance.
Impedances greater than 1000 Ohms and sensitivities of 1mV/V and higher are recommended.
N.B The voltage between either of the power supply connections and the load cell chassis should not exceed 50 V. Any leakage will be greater than 10 M Ohms.
The CSC 2-wire 4-20 analog output is 4 to 20 mA. The power and signal are combined in a single pair cable, simplifying installation.
N.B. Neither connection to the output load is electrically common to the load cell.
The following formula gives the suitable range of shunt resistance for low supply voltage operation.
CSC-10 2-wire 4-20: the shunt resistance must be less than:
((Vsupply -7.5) / 20 mA) – Rwiring
e.g. assuming 10 Ohms wiring resistance and 9 V supply:
Max shunt resistance = ((9 – 7.5) / 0.02) –10 = 65 Ohms
CSC 2-wire 4-20 ATEX: the shunt resistance must be less than:
((Vsupply -9) / 20 mA) – Rwiring
The CSC amplifiers can be calibrated with the transducer connected provided that two calibration points can be implemented e.g. by applying known weights or forces. If this is not possible, a stable mV source or load cell simulator can be used if the precise sensitivity (mV/V) of the transducer is known.
