Wiring Procedure
To wire your module, follow these steps:
1. Determine the length of cable you need to connect a channel to its field
device. Remember to include additional cable to route the shield wire and
foil shield to their ground points.
2. At each end of the cable, strip some casing to expose the individual wires.
3. Trim the exposed signal wires to 50 mm (2 in.) lengths. Strip about 5 mm
(3/16 in.) of insulation away to expose the end of each wire.
4. At one end of the cable, twist the shield wire and foil shield together, bend
them away from the cable, and apply shrink wrap.
5. At the other end of the cable, cut the drain wire and foil shield back to the
cable and apply shrink wrap.
6. Connect the wires to the terminal block and field device as shown in Figure
4 on page 13. The recommended maximum terminal screw torque is 0.7 to
0.9 Nm (6 to 8 in-lb) for all terminal screws. Excessive tightening can strip
the terminal screw.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each channel on your module.
