46 Install and Wire the Module
Follow these steps to wire your 1746-NR4 module.
1. At each end of the cable, strip some casing to expose the
individual wires.
2. Trim the signal wires to 5.08 cm (2 in.) lengths. Strip about
4.76 mm (3/16 in.) of insulation away to expose the end of the
wire.
3. At one end of the cable twist the drain wire and foil shield
together, bend them away from the cable, and apply shrink
wrap. Then earth ground at the shield terminal.
4. At the other end of the cable, cut the drain wire and foil shield
back to the cable and apply shrink wrap.
5. Connect the signal wires and cable shield to the NR4 terminal
block and the input.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each channel on the NR4 module.
