Zero Balance Calculator

This calculator is used to determine the value of a resistor that, when places in parallel with the bridge, will balance the sensor's zero.

bridge Resistance

The bridge resistance of the wheatstone bridge within your sensor.
To find your resistance:
Use a multimeter to determine the resistance across the +Signal and -Signal wires. This value is your bridge resistance. Typical FUTEK sensors have a bridge resistance of 350, 700 or 1000 Ohms.

Excitation

The voltage applied across +Excitation and -Excitation. Also known as input voltage.

Zero

The output signal of the excited sensor with no load applied, measured across the +signal and the -signal.
