4.4 Common Precautions on Terminals for Control
Circuit
Precautions on wiring
█
· For wiring of terminals for control circuit, strip specified length of insulation coating
before connecting.
· Loosen terminal screws and insert wires from bottom of the terminal block, and
tighten screws to specified tightening torque.
· Any loose connection could cause wire to come off and lead to malfunction. Also,
over-tightening could cause short-circuit due to broken of screws or the unit, thus
leading to malfunction.
· Use shielded cables for all control signal lines and separate them from power lines or
high-voltage circuits (20cm or more).
· Wiring length of control signal lines should be within 30m.
· Since input signals of control circuit are feeble, use dedicated contact for feeble
signals to avoid poor contact during contact input.

· Terminal block for main curcuit :
Terminal block for control circuit (Relay output/Signal input/output) : The maximam
number of the conductors : 2 *1
*1 The maximam number of the conductors should be made in the reach of the
suitable electric wire size.
Precautions on wiring

Observe the following items to prevent wire breakage.
· Do not damage the core wire when tearing the insulation layer off.
· Connect the core wire together.
· Do not lift up the welded part of core wire. It may be broken by vibration.
· Do not apply force to cables after wiring.
· If the tightening direction of calbe in terminal block is CCW, it is wrong.
Remove the cable, and confirm the terminals before reconnect it.
