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 lb-in.).
3. After wiring is complete, remove the debris shield.
Wire Size and Terminal Screw Torque
Each terminal accepts up to two wires with the following restrictions:
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.
