Figure 1. SCXI-1300/1301 Parts Locator Diagram
3.
Run the signal wires through the strain-relief opening. You can add
insulation or padding if necessary.
4.
Prepare your signal wire by stripping the insulation to no more
than 7 mm.
5.
Connect the signal wires to the screw terminals by inserting the
stripped end of the wire fully into the terminals and tighten the
screws with a flathead screwdriver. Tighten the screws to a torque
of 5 to 7 in.-lb.
Caution
Uninsulated wire extending past the screw terminal increases the risk of short
circuiting adjacent signals, causing the circuit to fail.
