Cable installation instructions for the weigh module(s) are included in the following paragraphs.

3.1 Load Cells to Junction Box

Each load cell is equipped with 30' of load cell cable, sufficient to reach a centrally-located junction box on standard scales. A conduit adapter and a 14" section of 3/4" flexible conduit is supplied for both ends of each load cell cable located at the load cell and at the junction box. Main conduit runs between these 14" flexible end sections are 3/4" galvanized metal conduit already installed on the deck as shown above.
Flexible conduit can not come in contact with the ground. Plastic tie wraps are included in the hardware shipping box and should be used to tie up the flexible conduit.

3.2 Junction Box Connections

Important
Each junction box is large enough to hold the summing board, transient protection devices, packaged desiccant, and extra load cell cable coiled inside the enclosure. An industrial corrosion inhibitor and desiccant such as the RLWS Industrial Corrosion Inhibitor (PN 16037) should be added to the junction box enclosure before final closure.
A summing card mounted within the junction box is u are clearly marked as to function.
sed to make all cable terminal connections. All terminal pins

3.3 Junction Box to Indicator

Sixty feet of six-wire homerun cable is supplied for wiring the junction box to the indicator. It is run in 3/4" galvanized metal conduit from the junction box to the indicator. Conduit for this purpose is to be obtained locally. A 30" flexible conduit section and conduit connector is provided where this cable exits the junction box. Do not run any other electrical cables in or near the conduit to the indicator.

3.4 Indicator to Peripherals

All 3/4" conduit for cabling from the indicator to remote displays and other peripheral devices is to be obtained locally. Conduit runs may be buried in a trench or secured above ground. Use separate conduit runs for AC power and DC data lines to avoid interference. As a general guideline, run AC and DC cables in separate trenches if possible. When DC data cables must run in the same trench as AC power lines, separate cables as much as possible (preferably more than 34" apart).

3.5 Single-Point Ground Conductor

A bare 10 gauge solid wire is to be run from the scale frame to the grounding lug on the junction box then underground to the main AC power earth ground. If the DC transient protection board is installed, the ground conductor should also be connected to the transient protection board’s ground lug.

3.6 Electrical Ground Connections

Improper grounding systems are often a cause of corrupted data from ground loop current flows and costly lightning damage to electronics.
Always strive for a single-point grounding system. Do not drive ground rods at the scale location which establishes separate earth grounds for the scale. These separate earth grounds will not share the same zero reference as the existing earth ground for the AC power system. This difference in electrical potential invites ground-loop current flow between the separate grounds, often corrupting serial data like RS-232 which depends on a stable zero reference.
In addition, a separate earth ground system at the scale can actually invite lightning
• A minor power line surge should immediately be shunted to ground. If a separate ground system exists at the scale with a lower damaging load cells on its way.
• A nearby lightning ground strike may instantly raise the zero pote while leaving the scale house ground rod unaffected. That lightning surge will now take the easiest path to the lower-potential ground—through the scale wiring and back to the scale house ground, possibly damaging the indicator on its way.
Therefore, the best grounding system for the scale is the same grounding s system. The 120 VAC power source used to power the indicator will be connected to an existing earth grounded rod system at the scale house or other building where the indicator is located. This should consist of a double ground rod system of two 5/8" x 8' copper rods driven 8' deep at the service entrance where the local utility company brings their lines into the building.
The local utility company can test the resistance of the existing ground rods with a clamp-on megohmeter th measures zero resistance. grounding system is inadequate, the utility company can suggest methods to improve the system. It’s crucial that the scale owner authorize and make the recommended improvements to assure an adequate electrical ground. Do not connect the scale to the AC power supply until the grounding system is adequate.

These, and all, ground connections must be torqued to a specified value and retorqued at regular service intervals. A thick coating of anti-oxidant grease should be maintained on all ground connections to prevent corrosion.
A separate grounding system conductor must extend uninterrupted from the ma
in service panel ground to the scale to protect load cells and scale wiring from lightning and other transient damage. This ground wire conductor must be an unsheathed #10 copper wire or larger. Run the bare ground wire conductor intact from the AC power ground rod to the scale in a separate trench. Bring the wire up from the trench near the junction box and attach it to the ground lug of the junction box. A #10 bare ground wire is run from the ground lug of the junction box to one of the junction box mounting studs on the scale frame, thus grounding the scale frame to the same single-point ground as the AC power for the indicator.
