1.
Unscrew the top cover screws and remove the top cover.
2.
Loosen the strain-relief screws and remove the strain-relief bar.
3.
Prepare your signal wire by stripping the insulation no more than
7 mm (0.28 in.).
4.
Run the signal wires through the strain-relief opening. If necessary,
add insulation or padding.
5.
Insert the stripped end of the signal wires fully into the terminal.
Make sure no bare wire extends past the screw terminal. Exposed wire
increases the risk of a short circuit that can cause circuit failure.
