4.2.5 Load Cell Wiring
The load cell wiring color code is:
Route the load cell cables so they will be protected from damage. Provide drip
loops in the lines so that liquids spilled on the cables do not run down into either
the load cells or the junction box. Connect the load cells to the EL604ET junction
box supplied. Connect the junction box to the weight indicator according to the
manual supplied with the junction box. Sense leads are strongly recommended,
especially if the distance from the junction box to indicator is more than 25 ft.
4.2.6 Trimming
The load cells have outputs matched to within ±.07%. Because of this accuracy, it
should not be necessary to trim the corners; the trimming capability of the
EL604ET is disabled for all channels by the presence of jumper wires.
If trimming is required for some reason, the jumper wires can be cut to activate
the trimming capability of the junction box. See the enclosed EL604ET manual
for details on corner trimming.
4.2.7 Final Checks
Before loading the vessel, check the following:
• Washer plate retaining screws tight?
• Jam nut locked against the top plate?
• Jacking nut locked against the jam nut?
• Load cell mounting screws torqued to correct value?
• All other hardware tight?
4.2.8 Optional Installation Method
If the location of the vessel relative to other equipment is critical, it may be easier
to first position the vessel on its support surface. The vessel can then be raised
with jacks so the mounts can be fitted to the support surface and vessel simultane-
ously. All other steps in the installation are as described above.
