Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring
1. Loosen the terminal screws to be wired.
2. Begin wiring at the bottom of the terminal block and move up.
3. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate.
You can use the bare wire or a spade lug. The terminals accept a
6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.
4. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate
secures the wire.
Recommended torque when tightening terminal screws is
0.68 N•m (6 in•lb).
Wire Size and Terminal Screw Torque
Each terminal accepts up to two wires.
TIP
The terminal screws are non-captive. Therefore, it is possible to
use a ring lug (maximum 1/4 in. o.d. with a 0.139 in. minimum
i.d. (M3.5)) with the module.
TIP
If you need to remove the finger-safe cover, insert a screwdriver
into one of the square, wiring holes and gently pry the cover off.
If you wire the terminal block with the finger-safe cover
removed, you will not be able to put it back on the terminal
block because the wires will be in the way.
