Precautions
Do not tighten terminal screws with torque beyond the specified range. Otherwise it may cause equipment failure or
malfunction.
■Wire end treatment
With regard to the cable end treatment, use a stranded cable or solid cable as is, or use a wire ferrule with insulating sleeve.
When using a stranded cable or solid cable as is
• Twist the end of stranded wire and make sure that there are no loose wires.
• Please do not solder plate the ends of the cable.

When using a wire ferrule with insulation sleeve
Because it is difficult to insert a cable into an insulating sleeve depending on the thickness of the cable sheath, select the
proper cable according to the outline drawing.
