SIGNAL channel 1 & 2, load cell plug is MALE. Cable plug is MALE
Note,
where the M12 connector is not required, simply cut the connector off
and use an alternative connection method.
The IP65 modular M12 electrical connector system is a quick and easy way to wire-up
on board weighing installations, it saves time and cuts down on mistakes. Together,
with a range of versatile inputs, combinations of load cells, sensors and transducers
to suit thousands of applications are straight forward. Power and signal connectors
are key-wayed, gendered and thumb tightened.
Junction boxes
Junction (splitter) boxes are internally wired in parallel for analogue systems and
serial for CAN Open systems. 4, 6 and 8 way junction boxes have FEMALE
signal sockets & MALE indicator cable sockets.
Extender cables & Junction box to indicator cabeles
On board weighing load cells and extensometers have 5 meter cable
complete with moulded 4-pin M12 MALE cable as standard. Male-Female
extender cables for longer reach applications are available in 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5
& 10 metre lengths. A 2 into 1 ‘Y’ cable is availabe where two load cell are
deployed.

Cable Installation
Flintec cables are specially designed to provide maximum signal strength and
high reliability. Substitution of cabling other than Flintec supplied cabling may
cause inconsistent and erratic readings. Care should be taken when routing
cable to provide protection from sharp edges, driveline rotation, exhaust pipe,
or any other potential damage. Secure in place with cable ties to a snug fit.
Assembly of the cable connector to the junction box and indicator should
not be forced. Align the 'keyways' and insert the cable connector. As the
cable connector is being inserted, rotate the threaded sleeve clockwise
until hand tight. Ensure the connector has been fully inserted for maximum
moisture protection by wriggling the connector and re tightening the sleeve.
