Caution:

 Failure to fully open terminal jaws before removing wire may permanently damage instrument.

Wiring Procedure

1.

Remove 0.5 - 0.625 in. (13-16 mm) of insulation from wire end.

2.

Press the orange terminal lever downward with a small screwdriver to open terminal jaws.

3.

Insert exposed (non-insulated) wire end in terminal hole until it bottoms out.

4.

Release orange terminal lever to secure wire in place. Gently pull on each wire to ensure a good connection.

Wiring Removal Procedure

1.

Press the orange terminal lever downward with a small screwdriver to open terminal jaws.

2.

When fully open, remove wire from terminal.
