Wiring the Finger-safe Terminal Block

When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.

1.

Loosen the terminal screws to be wired.

2.

Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate. You can use the bare
wire or a spade lug.

The terminals will accept a 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.

3.

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).

TIP

The terminal screws are non-captive. You can use a ring lug
[maximum 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) o.d. with a 3.53 mm (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.
