5. Installing the Stand Alone Display Units

Mounting Display and Junction Boxes

The display can be mounted either directly onto the 
bin leg or remotely, up to 1000' away, such as inside 
a nearby building.

When mounted remotely, a junction box must be 
used to extend the load cell wires from the bin to the 
display unit. The junction box can be mounted to the 
bin leg similar to the display shown. 

(See Figure 5C.)

1. Attaching the display unit or junction box to the 

bin leg.

a. Take mounting bracket and slide it around 

the bin leg. 

(See Figure 5A.)

b. Attach to leg using 3/8" x 1-1/2" HHCS bolt 

and hex nylock nuts. No drilling is required. 

(See Figure 5B.)

c. Attach display unit or junction box to the 

mounting bracket using the three (3) #10 
nuts provided.
