Figure 1A shows the connections to a 6 wire load ce ll.  Figure 1B shows a preferred 
method  to  attach  a  4  wire  load  cell,  using  a  6  cond uctor  cable  to  go  from  the 
indicator to the platform or load cell where it con nects to the 4 wires from the load 
cells.  The Excitation and sense wires are connecte d together near the load cell. 
For less exacting applications you can connect the  excitation to the sense at the...

indicator  will  also  be  on  as  the  platform  is  back  t o  the  same  condition  it  was
