Kinetix 5500 Safe Torque-off - Hardwired Safety Chapter 9
Safe Torque-off Wiring Requirements
The safe torque-off (STO) connector uses spring tension to secure the wire.
Depress the tab, along side each pin, to release the wire. Two rows of pins are
provided for drive-to-drive connections. Wire must be copper with 75 °C
(167 °F) minimum rating.

Table 76 - Safe Torque-off (STO) Terminal Plug Wiring
The National Electrical Code and local electrical codes take precedence over the
values and methods provided.
Stranded wires must terminate with ferrules to prevent short circuits, per table
D.7 of EN ISO 13849-2.
