Splicing the Load Cell Cable
Follow these steps:
1. Cut each end of the splice to the desired length. Note that roughly 1” will be lost through
the splicing process.
2. Cut a 4” section of ½” adhesive lined shrink tubing and slide it over one of the ends and
out of the way.
3. Strip back 2” of insulation from each end of cable.
a. Start by making a circumferential cut into only the insulation.
b. Next, score the end piece of insulation linearly along the entire length.
c. Peel back the insulation to reveal the shielding.
4. Peel back the shielding to reveal a white and red wires as well as a bare wire and two
more wires in another layer of shielding.
5. Peel back the second layer of shielding to expose two more wires; green and black .
6. Cut away excess shielding up to the insulation.
7. Repeat process for both ends of the splice to get to the point pictured above.
8. To keep the splice small, offset the wires by trimming each ¼” more than the last as
pictured.
9. Trim the wires of the other side of the splice in opposite order of the last so that the wires
match up as shown above.
