Each load cell or weigh bar features one of several connection types. Your indicator might also accept only one connection type. Before purchasing, make sure all connection types are compatible with your scale’s components.
Your scale system is only as durable as its weakest link. Bare wire connections, and damaged or weathered junction boxes are common trouble areas. When possible, we recommend routing all connections through the DT6 junction bank, which comes standard with all of our scale kits.
Spoiler alert: we’re going to talk about the DT6 junction bank again. Eventually, load cells or weigh bars wear down and stop working properly. Sometimes a cable gets pinched or damaged. A junction bank simplifies the process of diagnosing problems with your scale system by allowing simple connection and disconnection of the cables all in one place. The DT6 junction bank features water tight connections, high resistance to corrosion and gold plated pins for superior connection and protection from the elements.

If you need to replace a damaged cable or are interested in upgrading your system to a DT6 junction bank, our experienced staff will ask you for a few details about your equipment in order to get you what you need. Here’s some helpful information to have available when you speak with a representative or fill out the Request A Quote form online:
If so, we can simply pull up your account information and find a replacement part to match your order.
We’ll ask you a few questions in order to find the right part. If you are able to provide the information below, it will speed up the process of determining what part(s) will fit the best.
If you can find a part number on the cable you need to replace, we’ll take it from there and provide available options.
If you do not have a part number, we will ask about the connection style at the ends of the cable. How many pins does the connector have? Is the other end bare wires, or does it also have a connector? How long is the cable?
We can also use your indicator’s make and model information to help determine which cables and connections fit your scale system (i.e. Scale-Tec POINT or Digi-Star GT560).
