Electrical Installation All interconnection wires between the control, AC power source,
motor, host control and any operator interface stations should be in metal
conduits or shielded cable must be used. Use listed closed loop
connectors that are of appropriate size for wire gauge being used.
Connectors are to be installed using crimp tool specified by the
manufacturer of the connector. Only class 1 wiring should be used.

Holes are required in the enclosure assembly to allow connections to be
made. Use the correct size rubber grommet, conduit coupling or 360
degree coupling.

Clamp Terminals To install a wire into a clamp terminal, first strip wire insulation
to 0.200.24 in. (56mm). Insert a flatblade screwdriver, maximum blade
size 0.138 in. (3.5mm) into the adjacent hole. Do not twist or rotate the
screwdriver as this action may damage the terminal. A very slight
downward pressure on the screwdriver should open the terminals and allow
the wire to be inserted. Insert the wire into the clamp opening (Figure 3-4).
Remove the screwdriver. The terminal provides the correct force for a
secure connection.
