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 N

m (4.1 lb•in).

Wire 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 N

m

(6 lb•in).

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.
