iLoad Series Integrated Load Sensors Instructions for Optimal Performance

Please follow the guidelines listed below to get the best performance from your iLoad Series Integrated Load Sensor: Wiring : Note : The iLoad series sensors are intended for use with an NRTL approved device such as a computer or regulated power supply. If you have ordered iLoad Digital USB sensors, you may connect the sensor to any PC USB port using the appropriate cable. If you are connecting to a PC via a USB hub, ensure that the hub is powered and capable of supporting at least 75 mA per USB port. If you have ordered an iLoad Analog sensor with the pigtail cable, it comes with the free end stripped. The color coding of the stripped wires is as follows: Red: +5V DC, regulated Black: Input power ground (0 V) Yellow: +Signal White: - Signal (signal ground) Green: Not Used Soak and warm up time: Place the sensor in the intended location of use at least for twelve hours so that the sensor is “soaked” in that environment and has reached steady state. Before operating the sensor, allow it to “warm up” by connecting it to power for at least 30 minutes. This allows the signal conditioning electronics to stabilize and perform more accurately. Temperature stability: Please ensure that during use the load sensor is not subject to significant changes in temperature. This could lead to some thermal drift. Allow the sensor to stabilize at the new temperature, then use the “tare” button on your display or LoadVUE software to set the new “zero load” condition before commencing load readings.
