4 Installation
Connect Load cells “LOAD CELL 1” to “LOAD CELL 4” notin the load cells correct wirin positions. Connect a suitable
shielded cable from the load cell instrumentation to the junction box connector marked “INSTRUMENT”. Make sure the
red LED is illuminated indicatin the presence of the excitation volta e when the load cell instrumentation is powered on.
If it does not illuminate then turn off the instrumentation and double check all connections.
Notes:
Ti hten the land nut until the rubber touches the cable completely and then ti hten the nut with ½ turn (180
de rees)
For unused lands either replace the lands with blank lands or insert a small off cut of wire to represent a
“Dummy load cell” to block the hole.
Install the junction / summation box with the lands pointin downwards with cable drip loops (If the cables and
junction box is exposed to water then bend a short downward loop in all cables near the cord rips so any water
drainin down the cables will drip off before reachin the junction box.
4-Wire Load Cells:
If usin 4-wire load cells then link the SEN+ to EXC+ and SEN- to EXC- on the specific load cell connector.
Note: Install with glands facing downwards and with cable drip loops
