Wire Requirements
Wiring Recommendation
When wiring without spade lugs, keep the finger-safe covers in place. Loosen the terminal
screw and route the wires through the opening in the finger-safe cover. Tighten the terminal
screw, making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Wire Type Wire Size (2 wire maximum per terminal screw)
Solid Cu-90°C (194°F) #14 to #22 AWG
Stranded Cu-90°C (194°F) #16 to #22 AWG
Wiring torque = 0.791 Nm (7 in-lb) rated
ATTENTION
Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments that fall into
the controller could cause damage. Once wiring is complete,
be sure the controller is free of all metal fragments before
removing the protective debris strip. Failure to remove the
strip before operating can cause overheating.
