Enclosure Disassembly
The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect
cables for load cells, communications, digital inputs,
and analog output.
WARNING
The
420 Plus
has an on/off switch for the
load cells and processor functions. Before
opening the unit, ensure the power cord is
disconnected from the power outlet. The power outlet
must be located near the indicator to allow the operator to
easily disconnect power to the unit.
Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then
place the indicator face-down on an antistatic work
mat. Remove the screws that hold the backplate to the
enclosure body, then lift the backplate away from the
enclosure and set it aside.
2.3
Cable Connections
The
420 Plus
provides four cord grips for cabling into
the indicator: one for the power cord, three to
accommodate load cell, communications, digital
inputs, and analog output cables. Two of the three free
cord grips come with a plug installed to prevent
moisture from entering the enclosure. Depending on
your application, remove the plug from any cord grip
that will be used and install cables as required.
Note
The unit will keep the date and time as long as
it is plugged in, Even if display and load cells
are turned off. When the unit is unplugged, it
will lose date and time information.
