Connecting the Alarm Relay Wires to the MX960 Craft Interface

To connect the alarm relay wires between a router and an alarm-reporting device (see
Figure 132 on page 368):
1. Prepare the required length of replacement wire with gauge between 28-AWG and 14-AWG (0.08 and
2
2.08 mm ).
2. Insert the replacement wires into the slots in the front of the block. Use a 2.5-mm flat-blade screwdriver
to tighten the screws and secure the wire.
3. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other
end of the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
4. Plug the terminal block into the relay contact, and use a 2.5-mm flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the
screws on the face of the block.
5. Attach the other end of the wires to the external device.
