Repairing the Weighing Platforms

Replacing the Connecting Cable

If the connecting cable (from junction box to Combics indicator) needs to be

replaced on a weighing platform with four load cells, or if the load cell needs to be

replaced on a platform with only one load cell , open the Combics indicator and

disconnect the cable from the terminal strip of the A/D converter.

Unscrew the cable gland; the cable or load cell can now be replaced.

Remove the isolation and connect the new cable:

– Expose approx. 6 cm (2.4 in.) of the wires (3) in the cable.

– Remove the isolation from approx. 1 cm (0.5 in.) of the wires and affix ferrules

to the wire ends.

– Thread the cable through the cable gland.

– The shielding (1) must have contact with the clamps (2). Connection to ground

via the shield.

– Make sure you install the required ferrite ring (see page 71).

– After replacing the cable or load cell, use a torque wrench to tighten the cable

gland to 5 Nm.

Note: On stainless steel models, the IP67 protection must be checked after

closing the junction box.
