All of the terminations to
the desktop enclosure
version of the 748 are
made on the rear panel
via āDā style connectors.
See figure no. 2 to see
the identification of each
of these connectors.
LOAD CELL CONNECTION
CAUTION! Disconnect any external load cell power supply before connecting load cells to
the instrument. Failure to do so will result in permanent damage to the instrument.
The load cell cable is terminated via a 9-pin connector on the rear panel. Figure no. 3 shows the pin
identification for the connector. Make certain that the pins are correctly identified before soldering a
wire to them. NOTE!! If you use sense leads in your load cell installation (as in motor truck scales),
jumpers J1 and J3, located on the PC board, should be disconnected or placed on one pin only. If
you do not use sense leads, jumpers J1 and J3 must be installed to connect the sense leads to the
excitation (refer to figure no. 11). Make certain that the connector retaining screws are used to hold
the connector securely to the rear panel.

PRINTER OUTPUT CONNECTION
If a printer is used, it may be connected to the printer output connector located on the rear panel.
Figure no. 4 shows the connections for both RS232 compatible data and 20 mA current loop
interfaces for the printer output.
