Overview Design

The junction box of die-cast aluminum consists of a lower section

and cover. The enclosure is dust-protected and splashproof accord­
ing to IP66 degree of protection. The cables are fed in through met­
ric cable glands. In the enclosure, screw terminals are fixed onto a
connection board.
The internal resistance, characteristic value and rated load of all par­
allel-switched load cells must be identical. The value of these vari­
ables is not limited by the junction box. Load cells can be connected
in 4-wire or 6-wire systems.
For 6-wire systems, 2 jumpers must also be separated.

The JB junction box in aluminum or in stainless steel is required for LC SIWAREX
parallel connection of load cells. A maximum of 4 load cells can be weighing system
connected in parallel in one junction box.
Only for junction boxes in aluminum: LC 6
If more than 4 load cells are to be connected, a second junction box JB
must be connected in parallel via a cross connection. An expansion
set is required for this purpose. The cross-connection can be used to LC
connect up to three load cells in the first junction box. Up to four
load cells can be connected in the second junction box.
