National Scale Summing-J-Box

The National Scale Summing Junction Box embodies National Scale's commitment to serving you with thoughtfully designed, high quality products. The Summing Junction Box is used for summing the signal output of multiple load cells used in indication or integration weighing systems. The Summing Junction Box also simplifies installation leveling, system troubleshooting and load cell calibration. This Summing-J-Box has built in test points and the design can accommodate Bridgesensors which output 4 - 20 mA signals with no digital Indicator needed. These functions are employed through a highly reliable and accurate component combination housed in a NEMA 4, IP67 ABS or NEMA 7.9 (optional)  enclosure.
List price is anticipated to be $ 510.00 with availability in approximately two to three weeks. Contact sales@measurespec.com for more information.

Summing Junction Box Theory of Operation

The Summing-J-Box is designed for use with two or more load cells, with bridge resistance ranging from 120 to 1000 ohms. Signal trimming SPAN and tare zeroing ZERO are provided via potentiometers on the Summing Junction Box. Signal trimming allow for matching of the full span output of each load cell. Tare zeroing allows each load cell output to matched at tare weight so that live load output can be accurately observed for each load cell. The Summing Junction Box also incorporates switching circuitry to enable isolation of any combination of load cells from the system. This feature is useful in leveling, troubleshooting and calibration. For more than four load cells, the Summing Junction Box is equipped with an expansion port to daisy chain multiple Summing-J-Boxes.
