To connect the signal to the terminal block, perform the following steps,
referring to Figures 1 and 2 as necessary:
1.
Unscrew the top cover screws and remove the cover.
2.
Loosen the strain-relief screws and remove the strain-relief bar.
3.
Run the signal wires through the strain-relief opening. You can add

Prepare your signal wire by stripping the insulation no more than
12 mm.
5.
Connect the wires to the screw terminals by wrapping the wires around
