Electrical Connection
2.1 Transducer Connection
Strain gauge transducers are connected by means of 6−wire circuits.
With transducers in 4-wire technology the sensing leads are not needed. In
this case the contacts 32a+c and 28a+c on the connector must be linked.
For cable lengths >50 m, one resistor with half the bridge resistance value
(BR/2) must be solder into the transducer in place of each feedback bridge. If
the transducers are calibrated in six−wire connection, the resistors must be
solder directly into the sensor circuit.

The required bridge supply voltage is 5 V (symmetrical about ground) as set
factory sttings. It can be reduced to 2.5 V, resp. 10 V, by switch S25.

The safety barriers SD01A must be wired into the connecting lines (see chap-
ter 5.4) for transducers in EEx(i) design.
