IDNet Systems
An IDNet junction box can output an IDNet data format that is compatible with
METTLER TOLEDO ID1 and ID5 weight displays or with a Jaguar indicator. A
sample layout for an IDNet system is shown in Figure 5-29. For IDNet junction box
dimensions and wiring details, see Appendix 9.

Load Cell Cable Lengths
Normally, each load cell is supplied with a standard length of cable. Do not
lengthen or shorten load cell cables in the field. Changing the length of a load
cell cable will affect the output signal from the load cell.
If a cable is too long,
simply coil the excess cable and place it in or near the junction box. You can
order junction boxes in sizes that are large enough to hold coiled cables. Never
attach excess cable to a live portion of the weighing system. Nonstandard lengths
of cable can be ordered for applications that require them.
