INTRODUCTION AND TECHNICAL DATA The Polyester junction box is designed for the parallel connection of load cells. There are 4 different types: Type KPF-4 KPF-6 KPF-8 KPF-10 No.
LOAD CELL CABLE CONNECTION Only the cable gland nut (see (1) in fig.1) must be loosened. The bottom part of the cable gland must remain tightened. It is absolute necessary to check all the bottom parts of the cable glands for a firm seat in the housing! Then you have to feed the load cell cable through the cable gland unless the shrink tube has fully disappeared in the box, because sealing and strain relief must be done at the cable and not at the shrink tube.
CORNER CORRECTION AT SCALES WITH FLINTEC LOAD CELLS Flintec load cells are manufactured with rather tight tolerances, so in most cases an additional corner correction is not required. The best conditions are achieved if you use load cells of the same class (Designation is done with capital letters A to I on the load cell package besides the type label). Hint: Corner errors can have a mechanical background, e.g. sloped mounting surface of the load cell. Procedure: 1. Get the display value for each corner.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT SERVICE HINTS At each re-calibration or repair following checks or actions have to be done: 1. All bottom parts of the cable glands are sealed to the housing with some gasket. You have to check the existence and the condition of these gaskets, the gaskets have to be replaced if required. 2. You have to check all bottom parts of the cable glands for a firm seat in the housing.
