Phaeton Load Cell Sensor CZL-611CD-01 3KG Weighing Screw-fastened

The load cell provides a millivolt-level differential output with a sensitivity of 1.0 mV per volt of excitation. This low-level signal requires amplification by a dedicated instrumentation amplifier or a module like the HX711 before it can be read by a microcontroller's ADC. Connect the Red and Green wires to a stable DC voltage source (typically 5V or 10V) and the Black and White signal wires to the amplifier's differential inputs.

Mount the load cell securely using screws through its mounting holes to a rigid base, ensuring the load is applied correctly to the sensing axis. Calibration requires applying known weights across the 0-3 kg range and mapping the amplifier's digital output values. Use a calibration routine in your microcontroller code, establishing a linear relationship between the measured digital values and the applied force for accurate readings.

No, applying loads exceeding the 3 kg rated capacity can cause permanent damage to the internal strain gauges, leading to signal inaccuracy, a zero-point shift, or complete sensor failure. For safety and accuracy, always operate within the specified range and consider using a load cell with a higher capacity if your application involves potential overloads.
