Figure 6-18 Preparing the ends of the cable for the bus connector with axial cable outlet
● Undo the screws in the casing and remove the cover.
● Feed the wires into the terminals of the screw terminal blocks.
● Press the cable jacket between the two clip bars.
● Make sure that the cable shields are lying on the metal guide.
● When you connect to the screw terminals, the stranded cores must be fitted with wireend
ferrules (0.25 mm
2
complying with DIN 46228).
● Make sure that the braid shield lies on the contact surfaces of the connector.
● Replace the cover and screw it tight.
● Activate the terminating resistor if the bus connector is at the end of a segment.
Note
Stranded cores must only be used in screw terminals with wireend ferrules fitted (0.25
mm
2
complying with DIN 46228). Use only wireend ferrules made of materials with
permanently stable contact properties, for example copper with a tinplated surface (not
aluminum).
