2.3.2 Load Cells
Wire the load cell cable from the load cell or junction box to connector J5 as shown in Table 2-2. If using 6-wire load cell cable
(with sense wires), remove jumpers JP1 and JP2 (see Figure 2-2 ). For 4-wire installation, leave jumpers JP1 and JP2 on.
All models come with ten feet of color-coded load cell cable. Do not cut this cable. The load cell is temperature-
compensated for an exact cable length often feet. Cutting the load cell cable voids the load cell warranty.
When connections are complete, use two cable ties to secure the load cell cable to the inside of the enclosure.
Use grounding procedure described in Section 2.3.1 on page 4 to attach shield wire to backplate.
For 6-wire connections, remove jumpers JP1 and JP2.
2.3.3 Setting the Load Cell Compensation Jumper
The load cell compensation jumper (above the
ZERO
button location on the CPU board; see Figure 2-2 ) must be set for the type
of load cell connected to the indicator:
• For load cells with balanced bridges, set the jumper in the OFF position. Example of balanced load cells include the
RL1040, RL1250, RL1260, RL1380, and RL1385.
• For load cells with unbalanced bridges, follow the procedure below to determine the correct jumper position. Examples of
unbalanced cells include the RL1042 and RL1010.
To determine the correct jumper position for unbalanced cells, do the following;
1. Disconnect load cell from indicator.
2. Use an ohmmeter to mEXC to +SIG and +EXC to –SIG. Measured values between the excitation line and each
of the signal lines should be within 2–3
