It must be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator. It must be marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment. 891–00577 EDGE Bin Scale 3 Wires LC...
The Off or Stop and On position must be clearly identified on the sectioning device. AP/Cumberland recommends using a DPST disconnecting switch in series with a breaker. In the case of the use of a SPST disconnecting switch, connect the SPST disconnecting switch to cut the hot line with a neutral circuit case.
Connecting a loadcell There is a possibility to connect up to 8 loadcells with to EDGE Bin Scale 3 Wires LC. A 5V voltage refer- ence of 200mA maximum is available for all outputs SIG+ (LC(x) - SIG+). The outputs LC(x) – SIG+ are the excitation voltage for the loadcell.
