Remote Display Cabling

Your installation should also take into account the routing of Remote Dis-

play cabling. Ensure that distance and

obstacles spanned by the routed

cable will not kink, pinch or stretch it. Also keep in mind you may need to

drill a hole through which to route it.

NOTE

The Remote Scale Display connector end ma

y be secured with a rubber band

during shipping to prevent damage to the “locking tabs”. After routing the

cable, remove this rubber band before connecting. Failure to remove the band

will keep the connector from latching properly.

Model 8300RD: Placing and Installing the Remote Display

Reference Figure 2-17 while performing these procedures.

1. Determine where you want to install the Remote Scale Display

bas

ed on your counter design, the viewing angle, lighting consider-

ations and cable routing discussed previously. Reference

Figure 2-16

for the display’s physical dimensions. Optimally, the display(s)

should be

approximately eye level to the viewer(s).

2. Use the appropriate template provided in

Figure 2-18 for 8300RD

model to mark locations of the mounting screw and cable routing

holes.

• For the 8300RD model, the mounting screw holes are on 3-1/2”

5.1 mm) centers. The cable can either be routed through a

/4”

(19 mm) diameter hole directly under the mounting base or

through the cutout in the back of the base (see

Figure 2-17).

3. Drill the mounting screw holes using

a drill bit of the appropriate

diameter for your mounting screws or bolts.

4. Drill the cable routing hole using a

/4” (19 mm) drill bit (optional).
