Cable Grounding

Except for the power cord, all cables routed through

the cord grips should be grounded against the

indicator backplate. 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 backplate 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.
