The signal cable (connection between junction box and the following electronics) should be a 6 – wire
shielded cable and has to be kept as short as possible. Depending on type and manufacturer signal cables
may have different colours. Therefore make your own choice.

Flintec load cells are manufactured with rather tight tolerances, so in most cases an additional corner
correction is not required. The best conditions are achieved if you use load cells of the same class
(Designation is done with capital letters A to I on the load cell package besides the type label).
Hint: Corner errors can have a mechanical background, e.g. sloped mounting surface of the load cell.
If the junction box type KPEX-6 / KPEX-8 / KPEX-10 is used, a corner correction is not possible.
Check the cover sealing and install the cover of the box.
