Euroblock Plug Connection - Yamaha MTX3 Owner's Manual



Euroblock plug connection

Use the included Euroblock plugs when making connections
to the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors and [GPI] connector.
Cable preparation
approx. 7 mm
(approx. 5 mm for
the GPI connector)
approx. 20 mm
• Use stranded wire for Euroblock connections, and
strip the wire as shown in the illustration. With a
Euroblock connection, the stranded wire may be
prone to breakage because of metal fatigue due to
the weight of the cable or due to vibration. Cables
connected to the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors
should be fastened to the tab of the Euroblock plug
(3-pin) using the included cable ties (see illustration
at right). When rack-mounting the device, use a lac-
ing bar when possible to bundle and secure the
cable.
NOTE
Do not tin (plate with solder) the stranded wire.
• If cables will be frequently connected and discon-
nected, as in the case of a portable system, we rec-
ommend that you use ferrules with insulation
sleeves. Use a ferrule whose conductor portion has
an external diameter of 1.6 mm or less (1.3 mm or
less for the [GPI] connector) and a length of approx-
imately 7 mm (approximately 5 mm for the [GPI]
connector) such as the AI 0,5 - 6 WH made by the
Phoenix Contact corporation.
approx. 7 mm
(approx. 5 mm for
the GPI connector)
1.6 mm or less
(1.3 mm for the GPI connector)
1. Loosen the terminal screws.

* The explanation uses tabbed Eurob-
lock plugs.
NOTE
Use a slotted screwdriver with a blade width of 2 mm or
less for the [GPI] connector's Euroblock plug (16-pin),
and a blade width of 3 mm or less for the [INPUT]/[OUT-
PUT] connector's Euroblock plug (3-pin).
3 mm or less
2. Insert cables.
3. Securely tighten the terminal screws.
Pull the cables (not too strongly) to confirm that they are
securely connected.
4. For the Euroblock plugs (3-pin) of the
[INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors, use the
included cable ties to fasten the cable to the
tab.
NOTE
Trim off the extra portion of the cable tie as necessary.
