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. |
Length |
Length of engagement. The distance that the two THREADED regions engage. The typical minimum recommended value is 1.5 times the major bolt diameter. |
