• For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation and foil from the cable half an inch (15 mm) past the grounding
clamp (see Figure 2-1). Fold the foil shield back on the cable where the cable passes through the clamp.
Ensure silver (conductive) side of foil is turned outward for contact with the grounding clamp.
• For cables with braided shielding, strip cable insulation and braided shield from a point just past the ground-
ing clamp. Strip another half inch (15 mm) of insulation only to expose the braid where the cable passes
through the clamp (see Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1. Cable Grounding
• For load cell cables, cut the shield wire just past the grounding clamp. Shield wire function is provided by
contact between the cable shield and the grounding clamp.
• Route stripped cables through cord grips and clamps. Ensure shields contact grounding clamps as shown in
Figure 2-1. Tighten grounding clamp nuts.
• Finish installation using cable ties to secure cables inside of indicator enclosure.
