Connecting Wires to the Terminal Block
First, turn off the instrument. Next, make sure that the other end of the wire that you are connecting to
the terminal block is not connected to the device under measurement, or make sure that the device
under measurement that you are going to connect to is turned off.
1.
Insert the flat-blade screwdriver into the screwdriver insertion hole right next to the wire
insertion hole.
Insert the flat-blade screwdriver into the hole firmly until the wire insertion hole will open.
2.
Insert the wire that you prepared into the wire insertion hole.
Insert the wire until it reaches the back of the wire insertion hole.
3.
Pull the flat-blade screwdriver out of the screwdriver insertion hole.
When you pull out the flat-blade screwdriver, hold the wire in place so that it does not come out with the
screwdriver.
