•  Unscrew the base of the strain relief from the wire 
compression nut. Place the locknut inside the AC input cover 
with the flat side of the nut against the cover. Insert the base 
through the outside opening of the AC input cover. Screw the 
base securely onto the locknut from the outside (17 ft-lbs). 
•  Slide the wire compression nut over the AC cable. Insert the 
stripped wires through the strain relief base until the outer 
cable jacket is flush with the inside edge of the base. Place a 
wrench on the base to keep it from turning. Now tighten the 
compression nut to the base (14-16.2 ft-lbs) while holding the 
cable in place. Now the cable is securely fastened inside the 
strain relief. Refer to the following figure. 
•  Route the AC wires to the input connector terminals as 
required. To connect the wires, loosen the terminal screw, 
insert the stripped wire into the terminal, and tighten the 
screw securely to between 4.4–5.3 in-lbs. 
•  Route the wires inside the cover to prevent pinching. Fasten 
the cover to the unit using the M3 x 8mm pan head screws 
provided (4.8 in-lbs). Refer to the following figure for details.
