◆ Communication Cable Wiring
■ Procedure
Follow the instructions below to connect the communications cable to the terminal block.
NOTICE: Tighten all terminal screws according to the specified tightening torque. Tightening screws too tight could damage the terminal block, and leaving screws too loose
can cause a short-circuit or drive malfunction.
1. Connect the communications cable to the terminal block as shown in the diagram below.
Note: Communication lines should be separated from main circuit wiring and other electrical lines. (Tightening torque: 0.22 to 0.25 (Nm))
Figure 12
Figure 12 Comm Cable Wiring
2. Ensure all wiring connections are tightened and wire insulation is not pinched in the terminal block. Remove any stray wire strands that touch
other terminals.
3. After the terminal block is fully attached to the option unit, tighten the screws on the left and right sides of the terminal block. (Tightening
torque: 0.22 to 0.25 (Nm))
Note: Be sure to put the option cover back on after you have completed all necessary wiring.
