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 2-1. Tighten

grounding clamp nuts.

Finish installation using cable ties to secure

cables inside of indicator enclosure.

2.3.2

Load Cells

To attach cable from a load cell or junction box to an

installed A/D card, route the cable through the cord

grip and ground the shield wire as described in

Section 2.3.1 on page 8.
Next, remove connector J1 from the A/D card. The

connector plugs into a header on the A/D card (see

Figure 2-2). Wire the load cell cable from the load cell

or junction box to connector J1 as shown in Table 2-1.

Figure 2-2. Single-Channel A/D Card

If using 6-wire load cell cable (with sense wires),

remove jumpers JP1 and JP2 before reinstalling

connector J1. For 4-wire installation, leave jumpers

JP1 and JP2 on. For 6-wire load cell connections on

dual-channel A/D cards, remove jumpers JP3 and JP4

for connections to J2.

When connections are complete, reinstall load cell

connector on the A/D card and use two cable ties to

secure the load cell cable to the inside of the

enclosure.
