Warning: 
Use National Electric (NEC) 
or other country-specific 
standard wiring and safety 
practices when wiring and 
connecting this controller to 
a power source and to elec-
trical sensors or peripheral 
devices. Failure to do so may 
result in damage to equip-
ment and property, and/or 
injury or loss of life.
Note: 
Maximum wire size termina-
tion and torque rating: 
•  0.0507 to 3.30 mm

 (30 to 
12 AWG) single-wire termi-
nation or two 1.31 mm
2
 (16 
AWG) 
•  0.8 Nm (7.0 lb.-in.) torque
Note: 
Adjacent terminals may be 
labeled differently, depend-
ing on the model number.
Note: 
To prevent damage to the 
controller, do not connect 
wires to unused terminals.
Note: 
Maintain electrical isolation 
between analog input 1, digi-
tal input-outputs, switched 
dc/open collector outputs and 
process outputs to prevent 
ground loops.
Note: 
The control output common 
terminal and the digital com-
mon terminal are referenced 
to different voltages and 
must remain isolated. 
 
Quencharc Note: 
Switching pilot duty inductive 
loads (relay coils, solenoids, 
etc.) with the mechanical 
relay, solid state relay or 
open collector output options 
requires use of an R.C. sup-
pressor.
