Section 6: Electrical
Strip ends of connecting cables in accordance with Figure 6-6.
Crimp terminals with insulating sleeves can be used if required as illustrated
in the diagram below for connecting the wires to the terminal block. Stranded
conductors shall not be soldered.
• Use a circuit breaker with a 3 mm clearance of air gap between the
contacts.
• Be sure to FULLY insert the cable cores into the proper position of the
terminal block.
• Faulty wiring may cause not only abnormal operation but also damage
to PCB board.
• Fasten each terminal screw securely.
• To check the connections are secure, pull the cable slightly.
