Junction Box Mounting
JUNCTION BOX MOUNTING
The junction box is water resistant, not water-proof. It should be mounted toavoid submersionduring wetweather and toavoid physical abuse. The junction box can be mounted on the front or rear of the drill, planter or seeder. All load cell cables must reach the J-Box. Install by removing the double sided tape backing and apply to cleaned surface.
Connect Load Cell and J-Box Cable
1.Route front and rear load cell cables to J-box location. Make sure they are not bound or pinched. Cable tie (customer provided) load cell cables in place.
2.Insert load cell and J-box cables through each ofthe water-tight strain-reliefs.
3.Remove each terminal block from the J-box.
4.Connect wires of the same color to the same terminal block. See instructions below.
5.Install terminal block into the J-box as shown (location not important).
6.Tighten nuts on the water-tight strain-reliefs.
7.Assure that gasket is properly installed in the cover.
8.Attach cover using 4 screws (provided).
Installing wires into Terminal Block
1.Open levers 90º to locked position.
2.Insert individual wires into terminal.
3. Close lever.
4.Tug wire to assure solid connection.
Note: Wire strip length is7/16” (11mm).

Depending on which kit you purchase, two cablesmust be connected to the indicator bottom panel, J-Box and power cables. Refer to Indicator Manual D3831-USfor details of indicator mountingoptions and connection ofpower cord.
1.Bolt the readout in the cab, or mount the swivel bracket on the drill, planter or seeder.
2.Install power cord toa 12-volt negative groundbattery.
3.Route J-box cable to indicator and install to indicator bottom panel.
4.Program indicator with set-up#125040 and calibration #32000 (see Indicator Manual) for Case IH 24Row; set-up #145016 andcalibration #15000forCase IH 12/16 Row.

How to Check the Drill Scale after Installation
For the first test, lift the drill, planter or seeder all the way up, to a level area. Put 200-250 pounds of weight onthe right side, then compare it to the left. Both sides should be within four to six pounds ofeach other.
•
If the weight is not within thefour to six pound range, inspect the scale system for loose or misalign
mounts.
The second test is to lift the drill, planter or seeder to a level area and zero the scale. Lift the drill/planter/seeder up and down two to three times, checking to see if the scale zeros out. Each time the scaleis in the up position, it should be within four to six pounds.
If further assistance is necessary, please call Digi-Star, LLC at 920-563-9700.
***The example we are using is 2000 lbs of seed evenly filled in both hoppers. There is 25 lbs ofseed left from the lastfill.
Push the “Start” button. The screen will show zero, and the arrow is now pointing to “Net” on the screen. This is a temporary zero point to start loading the planter with seed. You will now fill 1000 lbs of seed into the left hopper.
Push the “Stop” button, the readoutnow reads1025 lbs of seed inventory.
Push the “Start” button again. The screen will say zero again.Load another 1000 lbs of seed into the right side.
Now push “Stop” and the screen will read2025 lbs of seed. The number will decrease as the seed is planted.
