To eliminate RFI, the additional load cell cables should be routed through the special metallic
gland connectors included with the 225-DS and the shield wire from the load cell cables must
be connected to these gland connectors for grounding.
1. Referring to Figure No. 1, remove the plastic gland connectors identified for the additional
scales.
2. Next, install the metal gland connectors for Scale 2 and Scale 3 as shown in Figure No. 6.

3. Loosen and remove the metal gland connector
nut and remove the plastic insert.
4. Referring to Figure No. 7, route the single cable
from the load cell or load cell junction box
through the nut and plastic insert and into the
enclosure.
5. With the load cell cable routed into the
enclosure, refer to Figure No. 8 and then remove
approximately 5 to 6 inches of the cable outer
insulating jacket exposing the internal wires.
6. Next, cut the shield wire so that it extends past the outer jacket approximately 3/4 inch.

leads) or six wires with sense leads.
