Load cell integrity alarm & junction box model JBOX LCI
A junction box for the connection of 2 to 4 load cells; with on board intelligence to monitor load cell performance. An alarm will be immediately generated if any load cell falls outside the pre-set balance, operating range or any open or short circuit connections are detected. These fault conditions are very often masked with a standard junction box allowing operation with unknown errors.
- Immediate alarm and indication of a load cell malfunction.
- Avoid incorrect material levels due to load cell or cable faults.
- Continuous assurance of product quantity.
- Can avoid batch wastage or product recall
- Increased safety in critical applications.
- Reduction of down time by quick fault diagnosis
- Aids installation and commissioning.
- On board Intelligence
- mV/V display of each load cell & total
- Displays which load cell is at fault & fault type
- Can replace any standard junction box
- Options for RS485 or telemetry link
- Alarm via volt free contacts for remote connection and load indication
- Alarm will be generated if :
- One or more load cells are out of balance from pre-set error band
- Any load cell is operated outside preset range
- Excitation voltage drops
- Any connection is lost
- A short circuit is detected
