5.3 Making connections to the monitoring system
The driver has four spring loaded terminals for connections with the
monitoring system.
At the driver these are marked, OUT (Output), COM (Common), -24 V
(Supply) and Shield(COM):
Terminal no.

Use the following procedure to connect those cables to the driver:
1
On each core, remove the insulation so that there is 9 mm of exposed wire, and twist the
(stranded) wire together.
2
Use a flat tip screwdriver to push down the operation lever of the terminal (the orange
area). Recommended flat tip screwdriver size: W 2,5 mm × T 0,4 mm.
3
Insert the prepared cable (the 9 mm of exposed wire) all the way into the cable port, as far
as possible.
4
Release the flat tip screwdriver, the cable is locked and the connection is complete.

NOTE
We recommend using cables of the type described in “4.3 Connections to the Monitoring System” between the unit and monitor. As a
small signal is being transmitted, inferior cables may be subject to interference from external noise, and the measurement may be
affected.
We recommend that the length of non-shielded cable (at both monitor and driver) be kept under 100 mm.
To avoid noise being induced into the system, connect the shield wire of the signal cable (the 3-core shielded cable between driver and
monitor) to both the driver’s “Shield” terminal and monitor’s “COM” terminal. For the connection details of the IMx/monitoring system,
refer to the relevant user manual.
If long cable runs between the driver and (IMx) monitoring system are required, consult table 1 to determine the maximum recom-
mended wire length (use three-conductor shielded wire).
NOTE
The terminal block is secured by the 2
screws on the ends of the terminal
block. If these screws are loosened for
installation or inspection work, make
sure to tighten them after the work is
complete (0,2 Nm or 2.03 kgf.cm).
