power-supply terminal block, respectively.
Use a wire satisfying the following specifications.

Wiring the Brake Forced-release Switch
If the actuator is equipped with a brake, provide a forced-release switch to permit a reset means during startup
adjustment or in case of emergency.
The customer must provide the switch (24 VDC, with a minimum contact capacity of 0.2 A).
Connect one side of the switch to the positive side of the 24-VDC power supply, and connect the other side to the BK
terminal on the power-supply terminal block.
The brake will be released when the switch is closed.
Danger: If the actuator is oriented vertically, exercise due caution when releasing the brake to prevent the slider/rod
from dropping unexpectedly to pinch your hand or damage the robot hand or work.
