In case conductor insulation diameter exceeds 2.9 mm it may not be possible to insert
cable properly into the terminal block. In such a case the stripping length may have to be
increased. Adjust stripping length such that no bare conductor appears outside the
terminal when conductor is attached to the terminal block.
A solid conductor, or a flexible conductor with end ferrule, can easily be pushed into the
terminal block without using any tools. In case a flexible (stranded) conductor is used, you
will have to push the release button in order to insert the conductor.
