(4) Strip the insulation and shielding on the free wire end of the drop cable
back about 1.5 inches to expose the four colored signal wires and the
silver shield wire. Strip the insulation on the signal wires back about 1/4
inch and tin the leads with solder. Tin the end of the shield wire also to
prevent it from fraying. Some pre-made cables have this step already
completed.
(5) Route the cable neatly through the wiring space along with any other
wires connected to inverter terminals so that when the front cover is
reinstalled, the cables to the inverter control circuit terminals and option
terminals are not caught between the inverter and inverter cover.
(6) Install the signal wires into the DeviceNet terminal block paying close
attention to match the colors of the wires with the colored label on the
cover. Insertion of a screwdriver into the upper holes of the terminal
block opens the clamps in the lower holes to allow wire insertion. A
flathead screwdriver of 3 mm maximum width works best. Removal of
the screwdriver then closes the clamps on the wire. These clamps grip
the wire very tightly and the user should not be able to pull the wires
back out if they are installed correctly .
