4.6.1 Analogue Load Cell Connection (Only FT-112 Panel)
To avoid damages, the load cell wiring should be made carefully before energizing the instrument. Load cell
connection schematics are in Figure 4.3
The same polarity sense and excitation pins of the load cell connector should be short circuited for 4-wire
installation. If you have junction box in your system, use 6 wire cable between indicator and the junction box,
and short circuit these pins in junction box for better performance as shown in the Figure 4.3
