(2) Termination of the wires
(a) Solid wire
The wire can be used just by stripping the sheath.
Sheath
Core
Approx. 10mm
(b) Twisted wire
1) Inserting the wires directly to the terminals
Use the wire after stripping the sheath and twisting the core. At this time, take care to avoid a
short caused by the loose wires of the core and the adjacent pole. Do not solder the core as it may
cause a contact fault.
2) Putting the wires together using a ferrule
Use a ferrule as follows.

When using the ferrule for two wires, plug the wires in a direction in which insulating sleeves do
not interfere the adjacent poles.
