❑

❑
Matrix expansion cables—one cable needed to expand the number of

3. Connect Signals
To connect the signal(s) to the terminal block, refer to Figures 1 and 2
while completing the following steps:
1.
Prepare the signal wire by stripping the insulation no more than 7 mm
from the end of the wire.
2.
Remove the top cover screw.
3.
Unsnap and remove the top cover.
4.
Loosen the two strain-relief screws on the strain-relief bar.
5.
Run the signal wires through the strain-relief opening.
6.
Insert the stripped end of the wire fully into the terminal. Secure the
wire by tightening the screw of the terminal. No bare wire should
extend past the screw terminal. Exposed wire increases the risk of a
short-circuit causing a failure.
7.
Connect the safety earth ground to the safety ground lug.
8.
Tighten the two screws on the strain-relief assembly to secure the
cables.
9.
Reinstall the top cover.
10. Replace the top cover screw.
