To connect signals to the terminal block, complete the following steps
while referring to Figure 1.
1. Loosen the terminal block top cover screw with a flathead screwdriver.
2. Gently lift the terminal block top cover off the terminal block.
3. Loosen the two screws on the strain-relief bar, leaving plenty of space
for the signal cables.
4. Pull the signal wires through the strain-relief opening shown in
Figure 1.
5. Connect the safety earth ground to the safety ground lug.
6. Connect the wires to the terminals by inserting the stripped end of the
wire into the terminal. Secure the wire by tightening the screw for each
terminal. No bare wire should extend past the screw terminal. Exposed
wire increases the risk of a short-circuit and can result in a failure.

through the strain-relief bar.
