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.
