Tools required
Screwdriver or power screwdriver 3.5 mm.
Procedure for front connector wiring
Proceed as follows for the terminal strip:
1. Strip 6 mm of insulation off the cable. It may be necessary to fit a connector
sleeve.
2. Open the front cover. Move the front connector into position for wiring.
To do this, push the front connector into the module until it locks into position. In
this position the front connector will still protrude from the module.
The connector is locked in position, without electrical contact to the module.
3. If you route the wires out downwards, start the wiring at the bottom. If this is not
the case, start at the top. Also screw in terminals that are unassigned.
The tightening torque is 0.4 to 0.7 Nm.
4. Fit the cable strain relief provided around the wiring loom and the front connec-
tor.
5. Pull the cable strain relief for the wiring loom tight. Push the lock for the cable
strain relief inwards to the left. This will ensure that the space available for
cables can be utilized more effectively.
6. Tighten the mounting screw to move the front connector into operating position.
Note: When the front connector is moved into operating position, a front
connector keying engages in the front connector. The front connector will then
fit only this module type.
7. Close the front cover.
8. You can fill out the labeling field provided and insert it in the front cover.
Shielded cables
If a shielded cable is used, the following additional operations are required:
1. Attach the cable shield to a grounded shielding rail immediately after the cable
entry point in the cabinet (strip the insulation off the cable for this purpose).
You can use the shield connecting element. This is mounted on the rail and can
accommodate up to eight shielding terminals.
2. Continue routing the shielded cable as far as the module but do not make a
connection to the shield there.
