Cable Grounding

Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the

cord grips should be grounded against the indicator

enclosure. Do the following to ground shielded cables:

Use the lockwashers, clamps, and kep nuts

provided in the parts kit to install grounding

clamps on the enclosure studs adjacent to cord

grips. Install grounding clamps only for cord

grips that will be used; do not tighten nuts.

Route cables through cord grips and grounding

clamps to determine cable lengths required to

reach cable connectors. Mark cables to remove

insulation and shield as described below:

For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation

and foil from the cable half an inch (15 mm)

past the grounding clamp (see Figure 2-2).

Fold the foil shield back on the cable where the

cable passes through the clamp. Ensure silver

(conductive) side of foil is turned outward for

contact with the grounding clamp.

For cables with braided shielding, strip cable

insulation and braided shield from a point just

past the grounding clamp. Strip another half

inch (15 mm) of insulation only to expose the

braid where the cable passes through the clamp

(see Figure 2-2).

For load cell cables, cut the shield wire just

past the grounding clamp. Shield wire function

is provided by contact between the cable shield

and the grounding clamp.

Route stripped cables through cord grips and

clamps. Ensure shields contact grounding

clamps as shown in Figure 2-2. Tighten

grounding clamp nuts.

Finish installation using cable mounts and ties

to secure cables inside of indicator enclosure.

Bypass Power Button

If jumper JMP1 is set for SW position, the power

switch on the front panel of the indicator will turn the

unit ON or OFF. If it is not in the SW position, the

indicator will power up as soon as the AC is applied.

This allows the front panel overlay power control

switch to be bypassed. Label “F” in Figure 2-3 shows

the location of JMP1. Figure 2-4 on page 8 shows

entire board.
