Bussing Strip Installation The 2-Series integrated control system is supplied with a brass bussing strip to
facilitate commoning (linking) of multiple terminal block connections on the relay
port. One strip is supplied for the 8-position terminal block (four relays).
1. To utilize the bussing strip, determine the number of relays to be
commoned for the equipment being installed. If less than four, the strip
can be trimmed to size with a pair of scissors or wire snips.
2. Loosen the terminal block screws and insert the first leg of the bussing
strip into the first common position on the terminal block. The strip
engages the other common positions automatically.
3. Remove approximately 1/8" of the jacket from the common wire and
insert the conductor into one of the terminal block common positions.
Tighten the terminal block screws to lock the wire and bussing strip
into place. Insulate the strip by folding a piece of ¾" wide vinyl
electrical tape (such as Scotch 33+) over the spine and as much of the
individual legs as possible. Excess tape at each end of the strip should
be pressed closed, then trimmed to within approximately 1/16" of the
end of the strip.
4. When wiring the remaining conductors, remove approximately 1/8" of
the jacket and insert the wires into the proper terminal block positions.
To prevent the possibility of electrical shorts, it is essential that these
conductors do not touch any uninsulated portion of the bussing strip.
5. Secure the wires connected to the terminal block with a tie wrap around
the bussing strip to provide strain relief.
