4.1

The signal cable to the electronic weighing system is fed into the enclosure through an EMC

cable gland. A high level of protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) is achieved

due to the large area shielding in the cable gland. The cable glands are made of nickel-plated

brass.

The aluminum SIWAREX JB junction box is equipped with plastic cable glands as standard. The

connecting cables of the load cells are fed into the enclosure through plastic cable glands. The

shielding is attached to screw terminals. If electromagnetic interference from the load cell cables

is expected in the system, the plastic cable glands can be replaced with EMC cable glands. EMC

cable glands are available as accessories (Page 39). Maximum immunity to interference is

achieved by the large area shielding layer.

The stainless steel SIWAREX JB junction box is equipped with EMC cable glands as standard. The

connecting cables of the load cells are fed into the enclosure through EMC cable glands. A high

level of protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) is achieved due to the large area

shielding in the cable gland. The cable glands are made of nickel-plated brass.

Purchase EMC cable glands in stainless steel from the appropriate suppliers. Note that the cable

glands must be approved for the respective applications. See Service and support
