Tighten the terminal block screws snug; but do not over-tighten.
5.
After all terminal connections are made and verified correct, return the cover to the unit and
secure in place with the 4 screws removed earlier. Tighten snug, but do not over-tighten.
The following pages correlate the DBK213 terminal block connectors with the associated pins of
the P1, P2, and P3 DB37 connectors. Note that the System Connections and Pinouts chapter
contains additional pin-outs, and includes references to the 100-pin P4 connector.
