FTx/ITx-SH-e-0720 718.6 Attaching weighing platformsAll analog weighing platforms can be attached to the terminals if they conform to the required specifications (see chapter8.5). A second weighing platform can be attached to terminals equipped with the optional analog interface (OptionPac).Compact two-scale systems can therefore be constructed using just one terminal.8.6.1 Instructions on weighing cellsCells with or without SENSE linesIn case the weighing platform employs a measuring cell without SENSE lines, the pins "+Ex" (Excitation) and "+Se" (Sense)must be short-circuited at the connector, as well as pins "–Ex" and "–Se".Cells without SENSE lines Cells with SENSE lines(required for certifiable weighing systems)Attaching weighing platforms with several weighing cellsUp to 4 weighing cells can be connected in parallel to a terminal. These weighing cells can be connected in the usual wayusing a junction box.The sum of the rated capacities of the individual cells corresponds to the total capacity of the weighing system. When enteringthe weighing capacities in the menu-driven dialog (chapter 7.7.4), the values should be selected so that the individual cellsare not overloaded!+Si+Se+Ex–Se–Si–Ex+Si+Se+Ex–Se–Si–Ex
