Electrical Installation and Specifications
Electrical Connections
All inputs and outputs to the EGCP-2 are made through “CageClamp” terminal
blocks. For noise suppression, it is recommend that all low-current wires be
separated from all high-current wire.
The terminal blocks are screwless CageClamp style blocks. The spring clamp
can be actuated by using a standard 3.5 mm or 1/8 inch flat bladed screwdriver
(see Figure 3-1). The EGCP-2 pluggable terminal blocks accept wires from 0.08–
2.5 mm² (28–12 AWG). Fixed terminal blocks accept wires from 0.08–2.5 mm²
(27–12 AWG). Two 0.8 mm² (18 AWG) or three 0.5 mm² (20 AWG) wires can be
easily installed in each terminal. Wires for the pluggable I/O terminals should be
stripped 8–9 mm (0.3 inch) long, wires for the fixed mounted power terminals
should be stripped 5–6 mm (0.2 inch) long.

Most of the EGCP-2 control’s terminal blocks are designed to be removed by
hand. After EGCP-2 input power is disconnected, the terminal blocks can be
removed one at a time by pulling them straight out. Care should be taken not to
pull the plug out at an angle as this will fracture the end terminal.
