2.3 Making Connections

CAUTION: Make sure the power is shut off before making connections.
CAUTION: Miswiring or misconfiguration could cause permanent damage to the X-16s, the
equipment to which it is connected, or both.
A removable terminal connector is provided for making the power connections. The correct wiring
procedure is as follows:
1. Make sure power is turned off.
2. Remove the terminal connector from the X-16s and make wiring connections to the terminals.
This technique avoids stressing the internal components while torquing the screws.
3. Reconnect the terminal connector.
4. Apply power.
It is recommended that any load (device to be controlled) not be connected to the expansion modules
until after the X-600M has been configured and tested. By doing this, wiring and configuration mistakes
will not cause the load device to turn on unexpectedly.
Make certain the wires are properly inserted into to the terminals and that the screws are tight.
