3-3 Power Supply and Input/Output Wiring
Wiring Precautions • When wiring, cover the top of the S8AS to prevent wire strands from
entering. After completing the wiring, be sure to remove the cover to avoid
overheating.
• Use the following crimp terminals on the power input wires and tighten the
terminal screws to the specified torque.
AC input terminals and protective earth (PE) terminals: M3.5
Negative branch output terminals: M4
Selecting the Wire
Refer to the following table when selecting wire to use for the power supply.
