2.3.2 Load Cells
To attach cable from a load cell or junction box, remove connector J1 from the board. The connector plugs into a
header on the board. Connect cable from the load cell or junction box through the load cell cable cord grip to
connector J1 as shown in Table 2-1. If using 6-wire load cell cable (with sense wires), remove jumpers JP1 and JP2
before reinstalling connector J1 (see Figure ). For 4-wire installation, leave jumpers JP1 and JP2 on.
When connections are complete, reinstall connector J1 on the board.
