The JB1010 is a summing junction box and trimming device for up to ten strain gauge load cells. In new applications that use a single junction box, the JB1010 can be custom con fi g ured to fi t many unique ap pli ca tions.
It allows either signal or excitation trimming of three load cell arrangements: individual load cells, pairs of load
cells in sec tions, or a combination of individual/and paired load cells. It allows use of an odd number of load
cells without modifi cation.
As a re place ment board for existing applications in the fi eld—even as part of a multiple junction box trim ming
network—the JB1010 can re place many boards. It is ide al as a single replacement product for many sep a rate
boards for truck scales, tank scales, and track scales. This product can be used in multiple con fi g u ra tions. Most
of these confi gurations are used to match existing systems using multiple junc tion boxes.
When the JB1010 is used as a re place ment for existing junction boxes, the confi guration characteristics of the
other trim ming devices must be matched for proper operation. Help for de ter min ing the characteristics of exist-
ing devices will be found in Section 8.0, Using the JB1010 in an Existing System.
Standard JB1010 units have a local tran sient sup pres sion net work that provides zone pro tec tion against most
light ning induced tran sients, par tic u lar ly when used with cell wiring in metal conduit.
In addition to the NEMA 4 FRP junction box, the JB1010 is also available as a board-only product.

2.0 Mounting the Enclosure
The JB1010 has 4.0" x 8.75" mount ing centers for #10 or 1/4" screws.
Mount the en clo sure for proper
ser vice access. Avoid mounting on
weighbridges where vi bra tion and
shock loads may loosen con nec tions
and locations prone to fl ood ing.
8.750"
Mounting
The standard JB1010 has wa ter proof nylon cord grips to seal the
7.875"
4.000" Mounting
ca bles and pro vide strain relief.
Ca ble diameters from 0.157" to
0.314" can be used with these grips.
When in stall ing the cables into the
enclosure, leave the strain re lief
Ø.313"
loose until the con nec tions have
been rout ed with the en clo sure ful ly
open. When com plet ed, tight en the
grips with a wrench to pre vent wa ter
10.750"
from wicking into the box. To prevent water and other contaminants
from entering the junction box, fi ll
any unused cable grips with post screw plugs; P/N 19538.
If cables will be exposed to fl uids, bend a short down ward loop in all cables near the cord grips so any fl uids
draining down the cables will drip off before reaching the junction box (see Figure 2-2).
Use a quality desiccant in the enclosure and replace it at least
every six months. Replace it more often if the en vi ron ment is
very damp or is regularly wetted down.
If using the transient protection grounding feature, install the
fi ttings with a wrench and use an electrical grade lubricant such
®
as WD-40
on threads and fi ttings. Connect the ground lug to a
single system ground rod (if locally connected) or to the grounding lug on the AC tran sient protector for the indicator or load cell power supply.
3.0 General Wiring Guide lines
The JB1010 is a universal trimming board, designed to trim almost any set of new or existing load cells in nearly
any confi guration. To properly wire the JB1010, fi rst determine what kind of application you have.
If the JB1010 is the only trimming junction box in a new system, continue on to the next page.
If the JB1010 replaces one or more boards in an existing system, skip to Section 8.0.
