The open section at the bottom of the RTB is called the strain relief area. The
wiring from the connections can be grouped with a plastic tie.
RTB Wiring Recommendations
Consider these guidelines when wiring your RTB:
• Begin wiring the RTB at the bottom terminals and move up.
• Use a tie to secure the wires in the strain relief area of the RTB.
• A jumper bar is shipped with certain I/O modules to assist in installation.
For an example of when to use the jumper bar, see the
1756-IA16I wiring
diagram.
Extra jumper bars can be purchased by ordering catalog number
1756-JMPR.
• For applications that require heavy gauge wiring, order and use an
extended-depth housing, catalog number 1756-TBE. For more
information, see
page 120 .
IMPORTANT Make sure the wire, and not the screwdriver, is inserted into the open terminal
to prevent damage to the module.
