Whether to use a six-wire connection is dependent on the imped-
ance of the load-cell transducers you are using, length of the wir-
ing cable, wire-gauge inside the cable, and the required
measurement accuracy. We recommend you to use a six-wire
connection as the default connection method for high-accuracy
load-cell transducers.
To add remote-sense capability to a four-terminal load-cell trans-
ducer, simply run two separate sense-wires, and join them
together with the excitation wires at the transducer's excitation ter-
minals.
