Wall-mounted junction box GBOX8D

IP66for load cellswith cable gland

The GBOX8D is a digital junction (sum) box designed to integrate up to eight digital load cells into a weighing system and to extend the distance between scale and indicator compared with analogue installations.

Key features

• Support for up to 8 digital load cells.
• PG9 cable glands compatible with armoured cables.
• Protection diodes on positive power supply signals.
• Operates over RS422/RS485; line terminating resistors available as an option.
• Enclosure and gland design deliver IP66 ingress protection.
• Designed to complete digital installations with Giropes indicators GI430D or GI650D.

Applications and benefits

• Optimizes digital communication in weighbridges and multi-cell scale installations.
• Enables greater distances between indicator and scale than analogue cell setups.
• Suitable for industrial environments where sealed cable entries and IP66 protection are required.

Protection and connections

• PG9 cable glands ensure secure entry for armoured cables.
• Protection diodes on positive supply lines safeguard electronics.
• IP66-rated with enclosure plus PG9 glands for dust and water protection.

Communication

• RS422/RS485 serial communication for digital weighing systems.
• Optional line terminating resistors for stable long-distance links.
• Compatible with Giropes GI430D and GI650D indicators for full digital system integration.
