INSTALLATION, CONT. 

Load Cell Cable Connection with RFI Suppression 

To eliminate RFI, the additional load cell cables should be routed through the special metallic 
gland connectors included with the 225-DS and the shield wire from the load cell cables must 
be connected to these gland connectors for grounding. 
 

1. 

Referring to Figure No. 1, remove the plastic gland connectors identified for the additional 
scales. 

2. 

Next, install the metal gland connectors for Scale 2 and Scale 3 as shown in Figure No. 6. 

 

3. 

Loosen and remove the metal gland connector 
nut and remove the plastic insert.   

4. 

Referring to Figure No. 7, route the single cable 
from the load cell or load cell junction box 
through the nut and plastic insert and into the 
enclosure. 

5. 

With the load cell cable routed into the 
enclosure, refer to Figure No. 8 and then remove 
approximately 5 to 6 inches of the cable outer 
insulating jacket exposing the internal wires. 

6. 

Next, cut the shield wire so that it extends past the outer jacket approximately 3/4 inch. 

7. 

Now, remove 1/4 inch of insulation from the end of each of the four wires (without sense 
leads) or six wires with sense leads.
