Load Cell Cable Connection
The following instructions describe the load cell connection should it be desired to route the
load cell cable through a standard gland connector.
1. Remove the 16 acorn nuts securing the rear panel to the main housing.
2. Referring to Figure No. 2, choose a gland connector for the cable and then loosen it.
3. Slip the single cable from the load cell or load cell junction box through the gland connector
and into the enclosure.
4. Referring to Figure No. 4, remove 3 inches (not 5 to 6 inches) of the outer insulation jacket
5. Next, remove 1/4 inch of insulation from each of the 4 wires and shield (without sense
leads) or 6 wires and shield (with sense leads).
6. Referring to the table on the previous page (or on the circuit board) for terminal
connections, connect each of the wires to terminal block P7. Refer to Figure No. 9 for
terminal block location.
7. To terminate a wire, use a small flat blade screwdriver and press down on the release bar
for the terminal. Insert the wire into the terminal opening. Remove the screwdriver, allowing
the release bar to return to its original position, locking the wire in place.
8. Repeat procedure until all of wires are in place.
9. If a standard gland connector is used, the shield wire should be connected to terminal 4 of
the P1 terminal block connector.
TERMINAL NO.
1 – +EXC
2 – +SEN
3 – +SIG
4 – SHLD
NOTE: If the sense leads are NOT used, you must install plug-in jumpers at J6 and J9
adjacent to the terminal block. These jumpers attach the sense leads to the excitation leads.
If sense leads ARE used (as in motor truck scales), these plug-in jumpers should be
positioned on one plug-in pin only or removed and stored for later use (see Figure No. 15).
Load Cell Connections with Over 30 Feet of Cable
For installations with over 30 feet of cable between the indicator and the load cells, sense
wires should be used. The sense wires must be connected between the +SENS, -SENS
terminals on the indicator and the +EXCITATION, -EXCITATION wires of the load cells or the
+SENS, -SENS terminals of the load cell trim board or the section seal trim board.
