2-10 Installation and Wiring
Wiring the Finger-Safe Terminal Block
When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.
1. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate. You can use
the stripped end of the wire or a spade lug. The terminals will
accept a 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.
2. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate
secures the wire. Recommended torque when tightening
terminal screws is 0.904 Nm (8 in-lbs).
3. After wiring is complete, remove the debris shield.
ATTENTION
!
Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments
that fall into a module could cause damage when
power is applied. Once wiring is complete, ensure
the module is free of all metal fragments.
TIP
If you need to remove the finger-safe cover,
insert a screw driver 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.
