WARNING Loose wiring may cause the terminal to overheat or result
in unit malfunction. A fire haz- ard may also exist. Therefore, be sure all wiring is tightly connected.
When connecting each power wire to the corresponding terminal, follow the instructions “How to connect wiring to the terminal” and fasten the wire securely tight with the fixing screw of the terminal plate.
How to connect wiring to the terminal
■For solid core wiring (or F-cable)
(1)Cut the wire end with a cutting pliers, then strip the insulation to expose the solid wire about 1 inch. (Fig. 21a)
(2)Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on the terminal plate.
(3)Using the pliers, bend the solid wire to form a loop suitable for the terminal screw.
(4)Shape the loop wire properly, place it on the termi- nal plate and fix it securely with the removed termi- nal screw using a screwdriver.
■For stranded wiring
(1)Cut the wire end with a cutting pliers, then strip the insulation to expose the stranded wiring about 3/8 inch and tightly twist the wire ends. (Figs. 21b and 21c)

(2)Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on the terminal plate.
(3)Using a ring connector fastener or pliers, securely clamp each stripped wire end with a ring connector. (Fig. 21b)
(4)Place the ring connector wire, and replace and tight- en the removed terminal screw using a screwdriver. (Fig. 22)
NOTE
Being careful not to cut the wire, strip off the plastic insu- lation using a wire cutter or pliers. (Fig. 23)
