Remove And Install The Power Terminal Block - Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 6 User Manual

Remove and Install the
Power Terminal Block
The terminals are shipped with a power terminal block installed. You can remove
the terminal block for ease of installation, wiring, and maintenance.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
If you connect or disconnect wiring while the power is on, an electrical arc can
occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure
that power is removed and the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
Failure to remove power can result in electrical shock or damage to the terminal.
The terminal blocks have different colors and markings for AC and DC power
connections. Always match the terminal block color to its mating connector. The
power terminal blocks are not intended for daisy chaining power.
Use a 0.6 x 3.5 mm flat blade screwdriver for terminal block wiring.
