Installation and Wiring 3-15

To remove the terminal block, loosen the upper and lower retaining
screws. The terminal block will back away from the module as you
remove the screws. When replacing the terminal block, torque the
retaining screws to 0.46 Nm (4.1 in-lbs).

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 Nm (6 in-lbs).

TIP

The terminal screws are non-captive.
Therefore, it is possible to use a ring lug
[maximum 1/4 inch o.d. with a 0.139 inch
minimum i.d. (M3.5)] with the module.

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.
