3. Load Cell Wiring
1.
Route the load cell cables so they will not be damaged or cut. Cable should
not be routed near heat sources greater than 150
°
F. Do not shorten any
load cell cable. The load cell is temperature compensated with the
supplied length of cable. Cutting the cable will affect temperature compen-
sation. Coil excess cable and protect it so it will not be mechanically
damaged or be sitting in water.
2.
Provide a drip loop in all cables so that water or other liquids will not run
directly down the cables onto either the load cells or the junction box.
Attach load cell cable to the dead structure, not the vessel.
3.
If conduit protection is necessary against mechanical or rodent damage to
the load cell cables, use flexible conduit and conduit adapters at the load
cells.
4.
Connect cables for RL50210, RL30000, RL50210SS, RL35023S, 60040,
65023, and 65023S load cells to the summing board in the junction box
according to the guide shown below and the labels on the terminal strips
of the junction box. To verify the wiring scheme, see the certification
shipped with the load cell.
5.
For better performance, use positive and negative remote sense lines if the
wiring run from the junction box to the indicator is longer than 25 feet.
4. Junction Box Connections, Adjustments & Calibration
•
Refer to junction box manual for trimming details.
•
Refer to the indicator manual for system calibration guidelines.
