INSTALLATION, CONT.
Load Cell Cable Shield Wire Connection for RFI Suppression
1. After all terminations have been made,
remove the excess cable from the enclosure.
2. Referring to Figure No. 5, fold the shield wire
back over the plastic insert and then insert the
plastic insert (with the shield wire) into the
gland connector.
3. The shield wire is secured when tightening the
gland connector nut.
4. Do not over-tighten the connector but make
certain it is snug.
5. DO NOT USE TOOLS! Finger tighten only!
Load Cell Cable Connection (Standard Gland Connector)
The following instructions describe the load cell connection should it be desired to route the
load cell cable through a standard gland connector. If a standard gland connector is used, the
shield wire should be connected to the threaded stud inside the indicator enclosure.
1. Remove the three acorn nuts securing the Battery Access Cover to the bottom of the
indicator and then remove the battery tray (Model 215) or the battery (Model 210).
2. After removing the battery tray or battery, remove the 12 acorn nuts securing the back
panel to main housing, and then loosen a gland connector for the load cell cable. Refer to
Figure No. 2 for illustration of connector layout.
3. Slip the single cable from the load cell or load cell junction box through the gland connector
and into the enclosure.
4. Remove 3" of the outer insulation jacket then remove 1/4" of insulation from each of the 4
wires and shield (without sense leads) or 6 wires and shield (with sense leads). Refer to
Figure No. 4.
5. Connect each of the wires to terminal block P1 referring to labels on circuit board for
terminal connections. Refer to Figure No. 8 for terminal block location.
6. To terminate a wire, first press down on release bar for the terminal, insert wire into
terminal opening then allow release bar to return to its original position, locking wire in
place. Repeat procedure until all of wires are in place.
7. Route load cell cable through the two cable clips provided on upper and left sides of
enclosure interior.
Load Cell Cable Shield Wire Connection (Standard Gland Connector)
The load cell cable shield wire should be connected to the
threaded stud inside the indicator. This stud is located on
the top inside of the indicator near the load cell connector
P1. See Figure No.6.
The shield wire should be wrapped around the stud
between the 2 flat washers and secured using hex nut.
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.
