10.2.1 Strain-Gage
Transducers
Use the following wiring diagram when connecting an unamplified, strain-gage
transducer to a Strain-Gage Input channel.
Figure 10-1: Unamplified Transducer Connection to Strain-Gage Input Channel
If the Shunt Calibration method is used to calibrate the instrument to the trans-
ducer, the shunt calibration resistor inside the instrument is placed across the
(-)Excitation and (-)Output pins during Shunt Calibration functions. Normally, the
instrument has a shunt calibration resistor of 59000 (59K) ohms installed. The
shunt resistor’s ohmic value used to generate the Shunt-Calibration Output is
given on the transducer’s Certificate of Calibration. If your transducer and instru-
ment were purchased at the same time, the correct shunt resistor for your trans-
ducer has been installed.
