Demo #2: USB Conversion Process How to convert an Existing Sensor into USB conversion 1. If your sensor has a mv/v output, and a cable diameter less than 5mm, it can be converted to be used with a USB module. 2. Convert sensor to be used with USB module FUTEK can convert any mv/v sensor into a USB kit.

Demo #2: USB Conversion Process Example of FUTEK Sensor LSB300 S-Beam Load Cell before USB Conversion

Demo #2: USB Conversion Process Example of FUTEK Sensor LSB300 S-Beam Load Cell after USB Conversion

Internal USB Model LCB500 Load Cell with Internal USB Internal USB Chip This is an example of FUTEK model LCB500 Tension and Compression Load Cell which has been converted into a USB model using a Bendix cable assembly and an internal version of the USB kit. * The internal version is only for sensor models with a mv/v output (up to 250 mv/v)
