Connection
Note on axial connection technology:
Only for stranded wires. The specified conductor cross sections refer to
the geometric cross section of the cable used.
Use of cables with a geometric cross section that differs greatly from the
nominal cross section of the cable should be checked before use.
The wiring space for axial screw technology is designed for fine strand
cables according to VDE 0295 Class 5. Deviating cable structures (e.g.,
Class 6 cables) should be checked before use.
Assembly instructions
Before assembly, ensure that the tapered screw is turned back all the
way (chamber is open). The cables must not be twisted. The wires should
be inserted as far as they will go into the contact chamber (until the
insulation touches the contact). Hold the wires in position and use the
socket wrench to tighten. The used wire end should be cut off before
connecting again. The connection screw may only be retightened once to
prevent the litz wires from breaking. To prevent damage to the contact,
the wire/cable should be mechanically intercepted at an appropriate
distance from the connection point (e.g., by using a plate cutout). DIN VDE
0100-520:2003-06 contains information on how to do this correctly. The
module cannot be used simultaneously with HC-B..-TMB-SD-IP65 and HC-
B..-TMS-SD-IP65 protective covers.
