“Data Interfaces." Connecting Weighing Platforms to WP1 An analog Sartorius platform (CAPP, CAPS, IU or IF) or a commercially-available DMS load cell can be connected to the Combics indicator WP1 input. The load cell should be connected by a certified technician who has received specialized training from Sartorius.
After you close the housing again, use a pressure gauge to check the integrity of the IP69K protection. For details, contact the Sartorius Service Center. Connecting Cables Insert all cable wires through the ferrite case, wind them around the ferrite case and then reinsert back through the ferrite case.
