1 Safety instructions
Appropriate use
To ensure safe operation, the junction box may only be used as described in
the mounting instructions. It is also essential to follow the respective legal and
safety regulations for the application concerned during use. The same applies
to the use of accessories.
The junction box is not a safety element in terms of appropriate use. For cor
rect and safe operation of this junction box, it is essential to ensure appropriate
transportation, storage, installation, and fitting and to operate and maintain all
equipment with care.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The junction box corresponds to the state of the art and is safe to operate. If
the junction box is used and operated inappropriately by untrained personnel,
residual dangers may arise.
Everyone responsible for installing, starting up, maintaining or repairing the
junction box needs to have read and understood the operating manual and in
particular the safety instructions.
Residual dangers
The scope of performance and supply of the junction box covers only part of
the connection technique. In addition, equipment planners, installers and oper
ators should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering considera
tions of the connection technique in such a way as to minimize residual dan
gers. Prevailing regulations must be complied with at all times. Residual
dangers connected with the connection technique need to be pointed out.
Qualified personnel
The junction box may be used by qualified personnel only, the specifications
and the special safety requirements and regulations need to be followed in all
cases. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal and safety regula
tions for the application concerned during use. The same applies to the use of
accessories.

Safety instructions
4A02335_03_Y00_00 HBM: public VK20A
Qualified personnel means. personnel familiar with the installation, fitting, start
ing up, and operation of the product and trained according to their job.
Conditions on site
Protect the junction box from dirt and humidity.
Maintenance
The junction box provides IP65 protection (protection against dust and water
jets). Make regular checks to ensure the tightness and efficiency of the rubber
lid seal and the screw fittings.
Prevention of accidents
The prevailing accident prevention regulations must be observed.
Unauthorized conversions and modifications are prohibited
HBM's express consent is required for modifications affecting the equipment's
design and safety. HBM does not take responsibility for damage resulting from
unauthorized modifications.
It is strictly forbidden to carry out any repairs and soldering work on the moth
erboards or to replace any components. Repairs may only be carried out by
persons authorized by HBM.
SDuring installation and when connecting the cables, take action to prevent
electrostatic discharge as this may damage the connected electronics.
SWhen connecting additional devices, comply with the safety requirements
for electrical measurement, control, regulatory and laboratory equipment
(EN 61010).
SAll the interconnecting cables must be shielded cables. The shield must be
connected extensively to ground on both sides.

2 Markings used
2.1 The markings used in this document
Important instructions for your safety are specifically identified. It is essential to
follow these instructions in order to prevent accidents and damage to property.
Symbol Significance
CAUTION This marking warns of a potentially dangerous
situation in which failure to comply with safety
requirements can result in slight or moderate physical
injury.
Notice This marking draws your attention to a situation in
which failure to comply with safety requirements can
lead to damage to property.
Emphasis
See….
Italics are used to emphasize and highlight text and
references to other chapters and external documents.
2.2 Symbols on the product
CE mark
The CE mark enables the manufacturer to guarantee that
the product complies with the requirements of the rele
vant EC directives (the declaration of conformity is avail
able at http://www.hbm.com/HBMdoc).
Statutory marking requirements for waste disposal
National and local regulations regarding the protection of
the environment and recycling of raw materials require
old equipment to be separated from regular domestic
waste for disposal.
For more detailed information on disposal, please contact
the local authorities or the dealer from whom you pur
chased the product.

Application
6A02335_03_Y00_00 HBM: public VK20A
3 Application
The VK20A junction box enables T20WN, T21WN and T22 torque transducers
to be connected to HBM measurement electronics. If the measurement elec
tronics do not feed supply voltage, the junction box needs to be powered by a
24 V power source (14 V...30 V) to St7.

5.1.1 Mechanical connection of the connector cables
The junction box includes a set of cable sleeves, intended for bushing the
transducer connection cable, the voltage supply and the Md/n outputs. The
side hole for the external control signal is closed with a screw for delivery. If
need be, use a suitable PG7 screwed joint with an anti‐buckling socket.
