Procedure
Note
Measurement errors
Observe the warnings concerning extending or shortening the connecting cables in section
→ Lengthening and shortening the connecting cable (Page 35).
If at all possible, do not shorten the connecting cables in a four-wire system.
Note
No calibration approval
In scales requiring official calibration, the connecting cables for load cells in a four-wire system
must not be shortened or lengthened.
1. Connect the recommended grounding cables: → Planning (Page 31)
2. Connect the load cells in accordance with the connection principle and with reference to the
specified signal assignments: → Connecting principle (Page 26)
3. For load cells with a four-wire system, position the wire jumpers in the junction box as
follows:
