4.1.1. Moisture Protection
The LCF-4020 Rocker Column Load Cells give full moisture protection.
• The load cells are calibrated with the cable attached.
• The cable
MUST NOT be cut.
• The cable is connected directly to the Junction Box through a sealed bushing
which MUST BE TIGHTENED WITH PLIERS to keep moisture out of the box.
On all Junction Boxes, the black plastic fittings have
O-rings that can be forced out of position if the
bushing itself is not tight.
1. To prevent this, first tighten the inner nut securing
the bushing in the hole.
2. Then insert the cable and carefully tighten gland
with pliers until it is very snug.
─ DO NOT over-tighten where bushing 'turns'.
• All Junction Box covers
MUST BE SECURED and
tightened.
4.1.2. Data Recording
Keeping records of work completed for every customer is extremely important, and
can pay off in great measure in future visits.

Record scale serial number from the tag.

Record instrument, junction box and load cell serial numbers.

Keep a copy of the sheet in the customer file.
An example of a “drip loop”.
This helps prevent water entry.
