Removing the Finger-safe Terminal Block
When wiring field devices to the module, it is not necessary to remove the terminal
block. If you remove the terminal block, use the write-on label on the side of the
terminal block to identify the module slot lcation and type. RTB position can be
indicated by circling either the ‘R’ for right side or ‘L’ for left side.
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 [max. 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.
