Cable Connections 2.3.1 Connect Transmitter Using the optional pre-wired cable (see Table 2-1) or the field wire-able connector (see Figure 2-3), connect a TranSend 7001 transmitter to the load cell or j-box; eliminating the need for a homerun cable. For TranSend 7000 devices, feed standard load cell cable through the cord grip and wire to the terminal strip according to Figure 2-4.
2.4 Network Connections When connecting to a remote device for a network setting, transmitting and receiving units must be set to ensure network and channel settings match. The ScaleCore ID must be unique to each unit. See Section 3.1 on page 14. 2.5 Analog Output Connection 50.0 mm [1.97"] 7.0 mm [0.28"]...

Appendix 5.1 Antenna Options To meet FCC licensing rules, only antennas supplied or recommended by MSI should be used. Antenna placement is critical for problem free use of the system. • Select a relatively clear transmission path between the devices. Radio signals travel primarily by line of sight (LOS), obstructions between stations may degrade the system performance.
