Installation
§
Connect the cable of the weighing platform to a suitable indicator, such as the FCT01-X
from Sartorius.
Note:
The cable gland on Sartorius indicators is installed at the factory. Please use extreme
caution when performing any work on the equipment that affects this cable gland.
§
Remove the casing from a length of the cable end and install the cable as follows:
– Remove the screw fastener from the cable gland and slide it over the end of the cable.
– Remove the casing from a section of the cable end (see illustration). The shielding (1)
must have contact with the clamps (2). Fold back 3 to 4 mm of the shielding so that it
overlaps the O-ring (see illustration).
– Expose approximately 15 cm (4 inches) of the wires (3) for connection within the
terminal.
– Thread the cable through the cable gland.
– Make sure the shielding is in contact with the clamps. The shielding supplies the
grounding connection.
– Replace the screw fastener and tighten it securely.
§
Connect the wire ends to the terminal strip:
– Remove the casing from a section of the cable end. Expose enough of the wires in the
cable for installation.
– Remove the casing from approx. 1 cm (0.5 in.) of the wires and affix ferrules to the
wire ends.
– Slide the enclosed protective sleeve over all the wires down to the cable gland, so that
no more than 5 cm of the wires is exposed between the end of the sleeve and the
terminal strip.
– Attach the wires securely to the screw terminals (blue = positive, brown or black =
negative)
Color Codes in the Weighing Platform Connecting Cable, Model CAPXS..
No. Signal des. Meaning Color of wire casing
1 BR_POS Bridge supply voltage (+) blue
2 SENSE_POS Sense (+) green
Bridge supply voltage
3 OUT_POS Measuring voltage positive white
4 OUT_NEG Measuring voltage (-) red
5 SENSE_NEG Sense (-) gray
Bridge supply voltage
6 BR_NEG Bridge supply voltage (-) black or brown
§
Use a screwdriver to tighten the terminal screws.
Note on connecting the FCT01-X:
The bridge supply voltages are protected by 62mA fuses. To prevent the fuses
from reacting if wires are incorrectly connected, resistors between pin 1 and
pin 6, between pin 1 and the housing and between pin 6 and the housing must
measure greater than 140 ohms. Low-ohm connections are also required between
pins 1 and 2 and between pins 5 and 6.
