3.1 TERMINAL SCREWS
Power and serial communications connections for the C827 are made at terminals screws
located on the interface block of the C827 enclosure. Your cable should be wired to these
terminals according to the pinouts given in Table 3-1 and shown in Figure 3-1.

NOTE: To fully comply with FCC regulations Part 2, you should attach a ferrite clamp (such a
WURTH 7427144) around the power and communication cables as close to the cord grip as
possible.
CAUTION: Do not bundle communications wiring with high current power lines. This will
cause communications errors.
