E LECTRICAL C ONNECTIONS
Figure 1: Dimensions in [mm]
The connection sequence of the load cells should correspond to the corners of the scale, i.e
Corner 1 = Load cell 1, Corner 2 = Load cell 2, etc.
L OAD C ELL C ABLE C ONNECTION
First the cable gland must be loosened. Then you have to feed the load cell cable through the cable gland
unless the shrink tube is fully disappeared in the box. Afterwards you can connect the cables to the screw
terminals as indicated below:
Terminal no.

yellow = Cable shield 1 2 23 24
red = Signal – (Output –) 15 16 17 18
white = Signal + (Output +) 11 12 13 14
black = Excitation – (Input –)
(if applicable, brown)* = Sense –

green = Excitation + (Input +)
(if applicable, blue)* = Sense +

* if load cell is equiped with 6-wire conductor cable
After all conductors have been screwd to the terminals, the cable glands must be tightened. Please verify that
all cable glands are tight and the cable is fully stress relieved.
O UTPUT C ABLE C ONNECTION
The signal cable (connection between junction box and the following electronics) should be a 6 – wire
shielded cable and has to be kept as short as possible. Depending on type and manufacturer signal cables
may have different colours. Therefore make your own choice.
