Abstract

A connector security cover for enclosing and sealing a connection between a signal line cable connector and a weighing terminal of a platform scale. An exemplary embodiment of the cover generally includes a body with first and second ends. The first end may have an opening with a first aperture defined surface adapted to engage a cable connector. The second end may have an opening with an aperture defined surface adapted to engage a corresponding element on the weighing terminal. The body may comprise hinged or non-hinged body halves that are secured closed by a fastening device. A tamper indicating device may be associated with the body and adapted to indicate if the body is opened after engagement. The cover may be placed around the cable connector and a corresponding element on the weighing terminal to restrict movement of the cable connector with respect to the weighing terminal.
