Junction Box Mounting
JUNCTION BOX MOUNTING
The junction box is water resistant, not water-proof. It should be mounted to avoid submersion during wet
weather and to avoid 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 of the
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 as shown above. 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 is 7/16” (11mm).

Indicator Mounting
INDICATOR MOUNTING
The scale indicator can be mounted in the tractor cab or on the drill, planter or seeder with swivel mounting
pack (406081). Two cables must be connected to the indicator bottom panel, J-Box and power cables. Refer
to Indicator Manual D3831-US for details of indicator mounting options and connection of power cord.
PLANTER MOUNTING TRACTOR CAB MOUNTING
1. Bolt the readout in the cab, or mount the swivel bracket on the drill, planter or seeder.
2. Install power cord to a 12-volt negative ground battery.
3. Route J-box cable to indicator and install to indicator bottom panel.
4. Program indicator with set-up #145015 and calibration #15000 (see Indicator Manual)
INDICATOR MOUNTINGS
Power Connection:
The power cable should be connected directly to a vehicle battery or regulated power supply. The scale end of
the power cable is attached to the J901 connector located on the bottom panel of the indicator.
Connect the RED wire from the power cable to +12 VDC and the BLACK wire to GROUND. The indicator is
fused internally at 4 amps.
Power Cable Connections:

Trouble Shooting
TROUBLE SHOOTING
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 on
the right side, then compare it to the left. Both sides should be within four to six pounds of each other.
•
If the weight is not within the four 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 scale
is 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.
