Connecting Signals
Use the removable screw terminal blocks located on the front of the instrument to connect your analog input signals.
Refer to the Screw Terminal Access sticker on the top of the instrument for pinout.
1. Insert the stripped end of a signal lead into the desired terminal directly under the screw.
2. Tighten the pressure flap by rotating the screw clockwise with a small screwdriver. Make sure that the pressure
flap tightens only against the signal wire and not the wire insulation.
Do not over-tighten.
3. Tug gently on the signal lead to ensure that it is firmly secured.
