3. Remove the M4 hex bolt, if installed. Hook a finger under the edge of
the cover. Pull outward and upward to disengage the cover from the
mounting plate tabs.
4. Install the load cell leads into J2 on the main board (see page 2-19).
To re-install the rear panel:
1. Move the rear cover into position. Ensure that all of the cables are
positioned within the cutouts of the cover. Press the cover straight
towards the panel until the left and right side slots snap over the tabs
on the mounting plate.
2. Mount the rear cover, if used, to the controller with the four 8-mm hex
head screws.
3. Install the M4 hex bolt in the upper left corner using a 7mm socket.
4. Reconnect any cables from the respective source connectors.
5. Plug the controller into the AC power outlet socket.
6. Test the controller for proper operation.

RANSDUCER
All 60 Series instruments are designed to be connected to any
Wheatstone bridge design strain gage-based force measuring transducer.
The instrument supplies 10 VDC developed from +5VDC and -5VDC
referenced to common for the excitation voltage. The maximum excitation
supply current available for the load cell (s) is
•
460 Series 350 mA; twelve (12) 350 ohm load cells
•
560 Series 400 mA; fourteen (14) 350 ohm load cells
•
660 Series 400 mA; fourteen (14) 350 ohm load cells

ECOMMENDATIONS
A high quality cable that has an overall braided shield and 16 to 24 gage
(AWG) stranded wire is recommended for the connection to the weigh
platform. The load cell cable should be routed into the controller enclosure
through the strain relief nearest the J2 loadcell connector.
