LCP - Loadcell Protector

LCP - Loadcell Protector Print this page

The Load Cell Protector (LCP) series is designed to provide protection to load cells from lightning induced transients. Experience has shown that the strain gauge bridge is easily damaged by surge and transients. Industrial cranes are also prime targets for lightning strikes. The LCP is well suited to such applications to help provide protection for plate cells, tension cells and load pin cells installed on cranes. The LCP is designed for 4 or 6 wire systems. Protection of the bridge, as well as the excitation voltage source is provided, using low capacitance clamping devices in order to avoid ground loop
problems.

Features

6 wires and shield protection – works with 4 or 6 wire systems
Suitable for compression or tension cells
Low series impedance – loadcells do not need recalibration
NEMA-12 (IP-55) rated – suitable for outdoor use
Helps protect against excitation over-voltage – helps prevent loadcell damage

Applications

Load, plate and tension cells
Strain gauges, tensiometers and load pins
- Cranes
- Weigh bridges (quarries, cement suppliers, grain merchants, transportation enforcement authorities)
