Cattle weigh bars

[fred.950]

Does anyone know if I can just cut and rejoin the cables on our weigh bars? Ideally I would like to add a couple of plugs the same as what is on there so I can remove most of the cable as well as the box. Any recommendations for plugs would be appreciated.

Do you use them to weigh the wife at the sink?

They are heavy duty ones!
But actually no I’ve just removed them and there’s more room in the utility room than my workshop!

But seriously, I have a tru-test and we shortened the cables with out problems. As far as connectors are concerned RS will have them you just need @Pheasant Surprise to hopefully come along and correctly identify them.

Thanks, the cable has just become brittle where it’s left out all the time

Have you sorted it yet - most true test beams have a resistor between two pins in the plugs ( underneath all the silicone) so the box will recognise the model of beam - a bit of nifty work with solder iron should sort it .

I’ve not investigated any further yet to be honest. I will get some cable and give it a go!
