LCI Load Cell Junction Box & Fault Alarm User Benefits For the protection of multi-load cell installations such as silos and tanks gives immediate alarm & indication of a load cell malfunction Avoids incorrect material levels due to load cell or cable faults Continuous assurance of product quality Avoids batch wastage or product recall Increased safety in critical applications Reduction of down-time by quick fault diagnosis Aids installation & commissioning Introduction The LCI Load Cell Junction Box with fault alarm monitoring is designed for the protection of multi-load cell installations such as silos, tanks and other systems where the failure of an individual load cell can have serious consequences such as overflow or incorrect production batching . The device constantly samples the individual load cell channels and activates an alarm if any failure conditions are detected. For a simple summing circuit with no trimming and no corner compensation, use the Load Cell Junction PCB, model JPP Load Cell Junction PCB, and for trimming and corner compensation, use the Active Junction Box, model JBA Load Cell Junction Box. Specification at a Glance Faults monitored: One or more load cells are out of balance Any or more load cell is operated outside a preset mV/V Excitation voltage deviates from preset range Any connection is lost (open circuit detection) Any short circuit is detected Environmentally sealed to IP65 / NEMA 4 enclosure with a transparent plastic clear lid dimensions 200 x 120 x 75 mm Food Industry

It was discovered that one of the load cells fitted to the silo had been severely damaged when a fork lift truck had hit the structure several weeks earlier. Returning the un-used flour back to the depot was a cost the bakery had to endure and highlighted the need for a warning system. When two or more load cells are used in a single structure for weighing,...
