Summing-J-Box Installation

Control Descriptions

Component purposes are listed as follows:

  • S1, S2, S3, S4 toggle switches are to disconnect the load cell(s) output signal(s) from the measurement device. When the switch is set to 0 the corresponding load cell is isolated. When the switch toggle is at 1, the corresponding load cell is on.
  • ZERO potentiometers offset (null) the No Load Output (zero balance) and the dead load of the weighing vessel on each individual load cell before it's output is summed.
  • SPAN potentiometers balance individual load cell outputs when a load is applied.  This is accomplished by signal trimming.
  • SIG+, SIG- test points provide a convenient point to attach a digital DC millivolt meter for troubleshooting and calibration. These points accept standard 0.08" probe tips.
  • WIRING CONNECTORS as explained in Summing Junction Box wiring.
  • R-CAL switch places a shunt calibration resistor across the summed output when in the TEST position.
