4.3.4 Wiring to module terminals 
 
This section explains the wiring of power lines and grounding lines to the main 
and extension bases.

POINT 
 
(1)  Use the thickest possible (max. 2 mm
2
 (14 AWG)) wires for the 100/200 
VAC and 24 VDC power cables. Be sure to twist these wires starting at the 
connection terminals. For wiring a terminal block, be sure to use a 
solderless terminal. To prevent short-circuit due to loosening screws, use 
the solderless terminals with insulation sleeves of 0.8 mm (0.03 inch) or 
less thick. The number of the solderless terminals to be connected for one 
terminal block are limited to 2.

(2)   Be sure to ground the LG and FG terminals. Failure to do so may cause 
the programmable controller to be susceptible to noise. Note that LG 
terminals include the potential as half as that of input voltage; you might 
get an electric shock when you touch them. 
(3)   A1S61PN and A1S62PN do not need to be switched as the are 100 to 
240VAC wide-range.
