After determining the wiring pattern, route the load cell cables through the cord grip assemblies and leave the
grips loose until final closure. Before connecting the load cell wires to the terminals, strip the wire insulation
back 1/4" to expose the wire. The pluggable connector will accommodate 12 to 28 gauge wire. To connect the
load cell wires to the appropriate connectors, open each pole with a small screwdriver and insert the appropriate
wire into the exposed wire opening. Tighten the end screw with the screwdriver to secure each wire into place.
Plug the terminal to the appropriate header socket.
The indicator terminal is used to connect the main cable to the weight indicator. Determine the indicator's load
cell input connections from the operating manual. Run a cable from your indicator terminal into the junction box
through the larger cord grip and make the connections on the indicator terminal using the same procedure as
inserting load cell cables to the appropriate connectors.
Note: If cables could be exposed to water or other liquids, bend a short downward loop in all cables near the cord grips so any
fluids draining down the cables will drip off before reaching the junction box. See Figure 3-2 below.
