1) Function |
It allows indicator to connect with several load cells by outputting signal to indicator. |
4-wire, 6-wire,8-wire can receive the signals from 4 load cells, 6 load cells, 8 load |
cells correspondingly. |
The potentiometer inside the junction box can adjust the excitation of the load cell |
thus can make each load cell output the same signal. |
Load cell 350 ohm as example: serial mode about 5%; parallel mode about 3% |
Load cell 700 ohm as example: serial mode about 3%; parallel mode about 2% |
- Customized for 10 wire |
2) Connection method |
A. The “OUT” connection point is the output which send signal to the indicator. |
Connection point “A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H” is the input which receive signal from the |
load cell.(The input quantity varieties according to the quantity of the load cell it |
can connect). For example, if the junction box is 6-wire, the connection point is |
“A/B/C/D/E/F”. |
B. Below each connection point, there is mark for connection. From left to right, the |
mark is “E+”,“E-”, “≡”,“IN+”,“IN-”, the detail information for each mark is as |
following: |
“E+”: + excitation for load cell; |
“E-”: - excitation for load cell; |
“≡”:Shielded cable; |
“IN+”:+ signal from load cell; |
“IN-”: - signal from load cell; |
3) Adjust method |
A. Adjust the junction box when there is no power supply. The resistance of each |
potentiometer should be adjusted to 10 om. (Contrarotate the potentiometer, |
the resistance will be smaller while turn the potentiometer clockwise, the |
resistance will be bigger).To get the resistance of each potentiometer, for |
example A point, then put one end of the multimeter at “E+” of “OUT” |
connection point, the other end at “E+” of “A”, you can get resistance of “A+” |
potentiometer; if put one end of the multimeter at “E-” of “OUT” connection |
point, the other end at “E-” of “A”, you can get resistance of “A-” potentiometer; |
B. Turn on the power of the indicator, calibrate by enlarging 10 times( for example, |
the actual weight is 10KG, then calibrate to 100KG). If the indicator has inner |
code display, then calibrate to the actual weight, then go to the inner code display. |
C. Put the weight with 1/3 value of the full range at each location of the load cell, |
record the display of the indicator. Adjust the potentiometer inside the junction |
box until the display difference of each load cell is less than 0.2E, please adjust as following: |
If the display of one load cell is too big, turn the two potentiometers of this load cell |
clockwise; if the display is too small, contrarotate of the two potentiometers of this |
load cell. Attention: The two potentiometers should have the same increase or decrease. |
For example, now the connection point is A, then after adjust the voltage, you can |
test the voltage at A+ and A-.Just put one end of the multimeter at “E+” of “OUT” |
connection point, the other end at “E+” of “A”, you can get voltage of “A+” |
potentiometer; put one end of the multimeter at “E-” of “OUT” connection point, the |
other end at “E-” of “A”, you can get voltage of “A-” potentiometer; |
D. After adjust, then calibrate again. |
