PR 5210 Transmitter Series PR 5210 Operating Manual
12 Sartorius
2.5 Connections
2.5.1 Load cell connection
The cable colours shown in this chapter are of Sartorius load cells series PR 62XX. Before
connection of other types, carefully read the instructions concerning cable colours of the
load cell / platform.
2.5.1.1 Connection in 6-wire technique
See label on the housing (chapter 2.3) and the documentation for the cable junction box.

Recommendation: - lay in steel tubes connected to earth potential
- min. 1 m distance to power cables
Load cell supply circuit:
The voltage for load cell supply is firmly adjusted to 12 VDC and protected by multifuse
elements (see chapter 1.3.6)
Load cell resistance >
75 Ohm; e.g. 8 load cells, each with 650 Ohm
2.5.1.2 Connection of one load cell in 4-wire technique
Pay attention, that SENSE S+ has to be connected to LC SUPPLY V+ and
SENSE S- has to be connected to LC SUPPLY V- directly at the transmitter.
