EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS

Warning:
Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may
present a hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated.
Caution:
Tighten M4 clamping screws of heavy duty terminal block connectors to a
nominal torque of 1.3 Nm.
Tighten captive screws of terminal blocks to 0.5 Nm minimum and 0.6 Nm
maximum.
Caution:
Always use insulated crimp terminations for voltage and current connections.
Caution:
Always use the correct crimp terminal and tool according to the wire size.
Caution:
Watchdog (self-monitoring) contacts are provided to indicate the health of the
