Continuous, cost-effective load cell monitoring with an instant alarm signal - just like having a service engineer on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The JB4T-INTELLIGENT junction box is designed to continuously monitor a load cell weighing system for error or fault conditions. Up to 4 load cells can be monitored in the same weighing system; if a fault condition occurs with one or more load cells then an alarm signal is triggered via a relay output. There is no need for a standard junction box as well. It is powered directly from the weight indicator / transmitter so there is no need for an external power supply.
Reasons to use the Intelligent Junction Box:
• Minimises wastage on batching systems
• Reduces chances of expensive and damaging product recalls
• Increased safety of the weighing system - it can detect load cell overload
• Load cell errors / faults / damage can be quickly identified and solved
• Can be used with any brand of indicator/transmitter that meets the stated requirements
Fault conditions monitored:
• Out-of-balance signal across all the load cells
• Load cell signal is outside a pre-set range
• Reduction in excitation voltage
• Load cell is in a short or open circuit state
Key features:
• Continuous monitoring of weighing system with up to 4 load cells
• Alarm signal via relay
• Red LED display shows error message if fault condition occurs
• No separate power supply required - it is powered from the weight indicator / transmitter
• Simple, fast installation using removable terminal blocks
• IP65 ABS casing (Stainless Steel or Omega/DIN rail mount options)
• Permitted excitation voltage from indicator / transmitter: 4-12V DC
