Connecting Wires to Terminal Block Connectors
When connecting wires to terminal block connectors, follow these steps:
1. Find the correct terminal and loosen the screw over it by turning the screw
counterclockwise (see Figure 2-2).
2. Strip the correct wire for this terminal 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) from the end.
3. Insert bare wire into the terminal 90% of the way.
4. Tighten the screw. The metal tooth inside the terminal will clamp down on the bare wire
for a tight connection. Make sure that the metal tooth is clamped down on the bare part of
the wire, not on the insulation.
Terminating Cable Shields
Perform the following steps to terminate shielded cables to the ground studs located inside the
WPC 2000 enclosure near the cable’s point of entry, referring to Figure 2-3, page 2-6.
1. Strip the cable jacket as far as the end of the conduit fitting.
2. Cut the drain wire to a length that can wrap at least once around the nearest ground stud.
Loosen the nut, wrap the drain wire clockwise around the stud, and tighten the nut.
3. Connect the rest of the wires in the cable to the terminal block as appropriate.
