Watlow PM PLUS™ 6  •  20  •  Chapter 2: Installation
Wiring Notes
Maximum wire size termi-
nation and torque rating:
 0.0507 to 3.30 mm2 (30 
to 12 AWG) single-wire 
termination or two 1.31 
mm2 (16 AWG)
0.56 Nm (5.0 in-lb.) 
torque
Adjacent terminals may 
be labeled differently 
depending on the model 
number.
Do not connect wires to 
unused terminals.
Maintain electrical isola-
tion between analog 
input 1, digital input-
outputs, switched dc/
open collector outputs 
and process outputs to 
prevent ground loops.
This equipment is suit-
able for use in CLASS 
I, DIVISION 2, Groups 
A, B, C and D or Non-
Hazardous locations only. 
Temperature Code T4A
Wiring Warnings 
ç
Use National Electric 
(NEC) or other country-
specic standard wiring 
and safety practices 
when wiring this control-
ler to a power source, 
electrical sensors or pe-
ripheral devices. Failure 
to do so may result in 
damage to equipment 
and property, and/or in-
jury or loss of life.
Explosion Hazard - Dry 
contact closure Digital 
Inputs shall not be used 
in Class I Division 2 Haz-
ardous Locations unless 
switch used is approved 
for this application.
Explosion Hazard – Sub-
stitution of component 
may impair suitability for 
CLASS I, DIVISION 2.
Explosion Hazard - Do 
not disconnect while the 
circuit is live or unless 
the area is known to be 
free of ignitable concen-
trations of ammable 
substances.
