3.
Tin the wire ends with solder if using stranded wire. This will keep the wire from
fraying.
Warning
When inserting the wire ends of the power cable into the block plug, be
sure there is no exposed wire. Trim the wire ends of the cable or cut a
new cable if necessary.
4.
Insert the three wire ends of the power cable into the three holes of the block plug.
Insert the Protective Earth GND ground, + (positive), and - (return) wires into the
corresponding holes, as shown in Figure Chapter 3 -17. Be sure that no bare wires
are exposed.

5.
Tighten the three screws above the wires to hold them firmly in place.
Warning
Never tighten the three screws of the block plug when the cable is con-
nected to a power source. The screws are conductive and have full con-
tact with the cable wire.
6.
Use
a plastic
cable clamp and #6-32 screw (provided) to secure and strain-relief the
cable. When installing the power cable to the unit, use the securing screws on each
side of the plug.
Warning
Be sure to completely loosen the two securing screws on the plug when
disconnecting the power cord from the unit.
Installation is complete once the power and other optional interface cables are installed.
