•
Solid conductors should not be connected to terminals. Pins should not be crimped to
stranded cores.
•
The cable from the load cell must be a robust four core cable, see
Diagonal pairs must be used for the signal circuits and excitation circuits.

Between the junction box and the tension electronics, signal and excitation must be routed
in separate cables. For example: a 2 × 2.5 mm

2 × 2 × 0.5 mm
cable with twisted pair cores for the load cell signals.
•
Cable for synchronization of two of more tension electronics must be screened or a twisted
pair.
•
The signal cable between the tension electronics and instruments, or process equipment,
must be a screened 0.5 mm
•
Cable screens must be connected to the copper earth bar. The screen connection maximum
length is 50 mm.
•
The protective earth conductor of the incoming mains supply must be connected to the
copper earth bar in the cubicle.
