Phaeton CZL-611N Load Cell Sensor 1-2kg Screw-Fastened

The load cell itself does not specify a fixed excitation voltage; its output is rated in mV/V. Typical excitation voltages range from 5V to 12V DC. You must use a stable, low-noise DC voltage source. The output signal will be the excitation voltage multiplied by the sensitivity (e.g., with 10V excitation, a full-scale load produces a 10mV signal). Always check your signal conditioner or amplifier's recommended excitation range.

Connect the wires as follows: Red to Excitation+ (E+), Green to Excitation- (E-), Black to Signal+ (S+), and White to Signal- (S-). For the HX711 amplifier module, match E+ and E- to the module's VCC and GND for excitation, and S+ and S- to the A+ and A- input pins. Ensure proper strain relief on the cables and calibrate the system with known weights for accurate readings.

Yes, the screw-fastened design and aluminum alloy construction of the CZL-611N allow it to measure both tension and compression forces within its 1-2 kg range. For tension, the load must be applied via the mounting holes in a direction that stretches the cell. For compression, the force must push on the cell's central platform. Ensure the mounting hardware and structure can handle the applied force without bending.
