Precision Junction Boxes
Accuracy and Stability
All components are designed for high
accuracy and long term stability.
Precision SMT resistors and gold plated
switches guarantee trouble free opera-
tion.

CalFree™
Precision Junction boxes can be
set to be absolutely neutral. Thus initial
shift error is low and all boxes are
capable for CalFree™ test weight free
calibration. Precision Junction Boxes
When Accuracy Matters

Junction boxes are often underestimated in terms of

Easy Shift Adjustment
All components for shift adjustment are
on board, no soldering or additional
resistors are needed. Rotary switches
can be operated like trim pots without
their trade-offs in terms of stability and
temperature impact.
Stainless Steel Housing
All junction boxes are made from stain-
less steel and provide best reliability
even in harsh industrial environments.
Version in IP65 and IP69K are available.
their accuracy impact. Precision junction boxes com-
bine the best of two worlds. Discrete resistors provide
high accuracy and long term stability while rotary
­switches combine them to a simple user interface
similar to trim pots.
