Note the following: WARNING Siemens products may only be used for the applications described in the catalog and in the relevant technical documentation. If products and components from other manufacturers are used, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens. Proper transport, storage, installation, assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance are required to ensure that the products operate safely and without any problems.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure...
The sales contract contains all obligations on the part of Siemens as well as the complete and solely applicable warranty conditions. Any statements regarding device versions described in the manual do not create new warranties or modify the existing warranty.
These include, for example: ● National Electrical Code (NEC - NFPA 70) (USA) ● Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) (Canada) Further provisions for hazardous area applications are for example: ● IEC 60079-14 (international) ● EN 60079-14 (EC) SIWAREX JB Operating Instructions, 12/2017, A5E43011851-AA...
Due to the large number of possible applications, each detail of the described device versions for each possible scenario during commissioning, operation, maintenance or operation in systems cannot be considered in the instructions. If you need additional information not covered by these instructions, contact your local Siemens office or company representative. Note...
There is a risk of explosion. • Connect the device with type of protection "Intrinsic safety" solely to an intrinsically safe circuit. • Observe the specifications for the electrical data on the certificate and/or in Technical data (Page 33).

Description Applications The SIWAREX JB junction box is used in weighing systems with extra-low voltages ≤ 30 V. The SIWAREX JB junction box is used to connect load cells to the electronic weighing system. You can connect up to four load cells in parallel in a junction box.
Page 14
Description 3.1 Applications If you have more than four load cells, connect an additional SIWAREX JB junction box in parallel using a cross-connection. The extension set is required for this, see Accessories (Page 39). The cross-connection allows you to connect up to three load cells in the first junction box.

The cable glands are made of nickel- plated brass. The aluminum SIWAREX JB junction box is equipped with plastic cable glands as standard. The connecting cables of the load cells are fed into the enclosure through plastic cable glands.
• Mount the device using suitable tools. Refer to the information in Technical data (Page 33) for installation torque requirements. Mounting Introduction You can mount the SIWAREX JB junction box in any position. Preferably, the cable glands should point downward. Procedure 1. Prepare the location for mounting.
Risk of explosion through compensating currents between hazardous area and the non-hazardous area. • Shielded cables that cross into hazardous areas should be grounded only at one end. • If grounding is required at both ends, use an equipotential bonding conductor.

To learn how to connect the cable, see section Connecting the cable (Page 29). 8. Connect the equipotential-bonding conductor with crimped cable lugs. 9. Close the cover of the junction box with the specified tightening torque (Page 33). See also Technical data (Page 33) SIWAREX JB Operating Instructions, 12/2017, A5E43011851-AA...
2. Insert the stripped load cell cable into the square opening of the screw terminal as far as it will go. 3. Tighten the screws with the specified tightening torque (Page 33). Result The tightened screw firmly holds the stripped wire and establishes the contact. See also Design (Page 15) SIWAREX JB Operating Instructions, 12/2017, A5E43011851-AA...
