Example Connection with External Device
Wiring of Terminal Unit
-
If the ends of the individual wires are not twisted correctly, the wires may create a short circuit.
-
Using a pin terminal with an insulating sleeve is recommended to prevent the possibility of a terminal short circuit.
-
Use copper wire rated for 75 °C (167 °F) or higher.
Insert each cord wire into its corresponding hole and fasten the screws to clamp the wire in place.

-
Cord
-
Screwdriver
Installing to DIN Rail
Hook the upper groove of the unit onto the DIN rail, then push the bottom part onto the rail until you hear a click.
-
Use the DIN rail compatible with IEC 60715 TH35-7.5 for the terminal unit.
-
In environments where this terminal unit will experience extreme vibration and shock, affix this terminal unit to the DIN rail with compatible fasteners, as required.
