Installing the Stand Alone Bin Mounted Display Units

1. Connect the load cell wires as below.

a. Slide all the load cell cables through the 

grommet cap. 

(See Figure 5E.)

b. Run load cell cables into multi-hole 

grommet by sliding cables through slit on 
side of the grommet. 

(See Figure 5D.)

c. Run cables through hole in display box, 

giving some extra cable length for 
easier installation.

d. The load cell cables are connected to the 

eight (8) terminal connectors as shown in 

Figure 5F on Page 20

. These two (2) 

connectors may be pulled out for 
wiring access.

e. The red power wire of each load cell should 

be connected to the left four (4) terminals 
marked “VCC” of the lower connector as 
shown in 

Figure 5F on Page 20

. The red 

wire from two (2) load cells may be inserted 
into each terminal if necessary.

f. The black ground wire of each load cell 

should be connected to the right four (4) 
terminals marked “GND” of the lower 
connector as shown in 

Figure 5F on          

Page 20

The black wire from two (2) load 

cells may be inserted into each terminal 
if necessary.

g. The white signal wire of each load cell 

should be connected to the eight (8) 
terminals marked “LC1..........LC8” of 
the upper connector as shown in 

Figure 5F 

on Page 20

.

h. Gently pull out any excess length of cable 

out through the grommet.

i. Wedge grommet into hole.

(See Figure 5D-B.)

j. Tighten the grommet nut cap. 

(See Figure 5E.)

NOTE: If only three (3) or four (4) holes are used in 

the grommet, you need to seal the open 
holes using the plugs supplied to make it 
water tight. 

(See Figure 5D-A.)

Always make sure all power is disconnected and locked out while display unit 
cover is OFF.
