Wiring

  1. Cables should be routed to Summing Junction Box PC board through the P68 cable grips.  Leave enough cable inside the enclosure to facilitate connection to the Summing Junction Box.  Secure the cable by tightening the shell of the the grip to ensure a watertight seal.
  2. Strip the outer sheath of the cable 3" to 4" then strip the individual conductors by 3/16" to 1/4". If possible, tin the exposed conductors with suitable solder. Ensure you have a clean conductor with no flux or oxidation.
  3. Connect each of the four (4) load cell's cable to a five pin Load Cell connector. Follow the load cells' manufacturer's wiring color code. Note that the connectors are removable for ease of installation.   Ensure that connections are tight.
