Connect I/O Lines

Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the terminal cover from each wiring
arm to expose the terminals (if a terminal requires shielded-cable
connection, see page

7-17

). Connect the wires between the I/O devices

and the wiring arm terminals.

Trim the length of the wire to approximately 3/4 of an inch above

its terminal.

Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch insulation from the end of the wire.

Bend the end of the wire to the right, and place the bare copper wire

under the pressure plate of the terminal screw (optionally, you can use a
spade lug).

Tighten the screw, and check that the wire is firmly in place.
