5.

Connect the wires to the screw terminals by inserting the stripped end 
of the wire fully into the terminal. No bare wire should extend past the 
screw terminal. Exposed wire increases the risk of shorting and 
causing a failure.

6.

Tighten the screw terminal to a torque of 5–7 in.-lb.

7.

Connect your shield or earth ground to the earth ground solder lug.

8.

Reinstall the strain-relief bar and tighten the strain-relief screws.

9.

Reinstall the top cover and tighten the top cover screws.

10. Connect the terminal block to the module front connector as explained 

in the Installation section later in this guide.
