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