It consists of a lower portion and a cover. It is dustproof and splash proof conforming with IP 66 protec-tion. The cables are fed into the housing through screw-type cable glands. High protection against spurious radiation (EMC) can only be achieved by attaching the shield in the screw-type cable gland. The cable glands are made of brass, nickel plated.NOTEIf EMC cable glands or sealing plugs of stainless steel are requested, they can be obtained from respective suppliers.Suggested supplier:RST Rabe-System-Technik und Vertriebs-GmbH Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 19 49134 Wallenhorst GermanyTel: +45 (0) 54 07 / 87 66 – 0 Fax: +45 (0) 54 07 / 87 66 – 98 Internet: www.rst-gruppe.dePrinciple of ApplicationRevision 03.06 Technical DescriptionThe electrical conductors are wired by spring terminals. The spring terminal tech-nology guarantees vibration-free and maintenance-free connections. The reliabilityof the contact is guaranteed on a continued basis.A grounding bolt can be used for connecting an equipotential bonding connector.1.3System ConfigurationThe SIWAREX JB junction box is used in technical weighing systems for switching upto four WSG weighing cells in parallel. Load cells can be connected in 4 and 6-wiretechnology.The junction box is connected with the weighing module with a signal cable.A shielded cable with six wires must be used as the signal connection. We recom-mend the SIWAREX cable Li2Y2x0,75St+2x(2x0,34St)-CY:7MH4 702-8AG, orange coated, for standard applications or7MH4 702-8AF, blue coating, for Ex-applications.The maximum cable length between load cells and the weighing module is speci-fied in the technical data of the weighing module.2Installation/Assembly2.1InstallationThe SIWAREX JB junction box may only be installed and connected by qualified per-sonnel.2.2 ConnectionConnecting load cells with 4 or 6-wire technology to a weighing module is shown inthe connection diagrams in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 on page 8.The connection shields must be routed through the EMC cable glands (Fig. 4,Page 9). EMC cable glands and sealing plugs are delivered with the junction box.These are to be installed according to the number of load cells. Openings that arenot used in the housing are to be closed off with the sealing plugs.Cable gland assignment is to be completed according to Fig. 5 on page 9.The assembly of the carrier rail with the spring terminals has to be executed accord-ing to figure 6 on page 9.When connecting load cells using 4 wires, two bridges are absolutely necessary:Bridge 1: EXC- to SENSE-Bridge 2: EXC+ to SENSE+IMPORTANTIf the two bridges EXC-/SENSE- and EXC+/SENSE+ are missing in load cells in4-wire technology, this can be signaled by the weighing module as a wire break.Fig 2 Load cell connection in 4-wire technologyFig 4 Shielding in the cable glandLC = Load cell InputW = Output to weighing module or Ex-barrier EPB = Equipotential bonding connectionFig 6 Carrier rail assembly2.3 InstallationThe SIWAREX JB junction box can be mounted in any position. The cable glands should be at the bottom pointing downward if possible. It is fastened with four M8 screws.CAUTIONPlease ensure that there is no dirt or cable scraps in the housing that could cause malfunctions or short-circuits before closing the cover.CAUTIONThe device protection degree is only guaranteed when the housing is closed. The cover must be mounted, the necessary screw-type cable glands must be installed and tightened and any unused openings for cable glands must be closed with the sealing plugs that are provided. Please ensure that sealing surfaces are clean and O-rings are positioned correctly in the cable glands and sealing plugs.2.4 Spring Terminal Connection TechniqueA screwdriver with a maximum blade width of 2.5 mm is required for connecting the cables. It is pressed into the rectangular opening (1).This opens the spring bracket. The stripped cable is pushed through the round opening to the stop (2). The cable makes a solid connection in the springbracket when the screwdriver (3) is removed. (Fig. 7)The cables are stripped 8 to 9 mm. (Fig. 8)IMPORTANTWith smaller gauged wire, there is a danger of putting a kink in the wire when inserting it into the clamp. The cable is then clamped by the insulation. The result is contact problems. Crimp-on sleeves prevent these problems.Revision 03.06 Installation/AssemblyThe following cables can be connected.0.08 to 1.5 mm2 / AWG 28 to 16:Single-wire, multi-wire, fine-wire – also with tinned single wires, fine-wire –stranded wire compressed and fine wire with gas-tight crimp-on pin cable shoe.0.08 to 1 mm2 / AWG 28 to 18:Fine wire with gas-tight crimped on end sleeves.3CommissioningSince the extension box is a passive component, the operating manual of theweighing module should be observed primarily for commissioning.4Technical Data4.1Functional DataEnvironmental temperature: -30 °C to +85 °CStorage temperature: -40 °C to +90 °C60529DIN66,IPProtection:Freedom of vibration of the terminals: conforming with DIN VDE 0611 11/77:Amplitude1mmHz,Hz12and50Insulation resistance of the terminals: 1012 Ohm cm4.2Device VersionHousing dimensions (LxWxH): 150 x 100 x 63 mm3steelStainless1.4301Housingmaterial:Weight: approx. 1.5 kgpolishedsteel,Color: StainlessElectrical connection: Spring terminal connection 1.5/1 mm2Screw-type cable glands:Load cells: M16 x 1.5 5 to 10 mmSignal cable: M20 x 1.5 7 to 12 mm4.3Explosion protectionThe extension box is simple electrical equipment in accordance with EN 60079-14or EN 50020.
