Euroblock plug connection
Use the included Euroblock plugs when making connections
to the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors and [GPI] connector.
1. Loosen the terminal screws.
2. Insert cables.
3. Securely tighten the terminal screws.
Pull the cables (not too strongly) to confirm that they are
securely connected.
4. For the Euroblock plugs (3-pin) of the
[INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors, use the
included cable ties to fasten the cable to the
tab.
Cable preparation
• Use stranded wire for Euroblock connections, and
strip the wire as shown in the illustration. With a
Euroblock connection, the stranded wire may be
prone to breakage because of metal fatigue due to
the weight of the cable or due to vibration. Cables
connected to the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors
should be fastened to the tab of the Euroblock plug
(3-pin) using the included cable ties (see illustration
at right). When rack-mounting the device, use a lac-
ing bar when possible to bundle and secure the
cable.
• If cables will be frequently connected and discon-
nected, as in the case of a portable system, we rec-
ommend that you use ferrules with insulation
sleeves. Use a ferrule whose conductor portion has
an external diameter of 1.6 mm or less (1.3 mm or
less for the [GPI] connector) and a length of approx-
imately 7 mm (approximately 5 mm for the [GPI]
connector) such as the AI 0,5 - 6 WH made by the
Phoenix Contact corporation.

NOTE
Do not tin (plate with solder) the stranded wire.

NOTE
Use a slotted screwdriver with a blade width of 2 mm or
less for the [GPI] connector’s Euroblock plug (16-pin),
and a blade width of 3 mm or less for the [INPUT]/[OUT-
PUT] connector’s Euroblock plug (3-pin).
NOTE
Trim off the extra portion of the cable tie as necessary.
