Wiring Instructions
1. Insert the optional screwdriver
(BC1S-SDO) or an applicable
screwdriver into the square-
shaped port as shown on the right,
until the screwdriver tip touches
the bottom of the spring.
2. Push in the screwdriver until it
touches the bottom of the port.
The wire port is now open, and the
screwdriver is held in place. The
screwdriver will not come off even
if you release your hand.
3. While the screwdriver is
retained in the port, insert the wire
or ferrule into the round-shaped
wire port. Each wire port can
accommodate one wire or ferrule.
When connecting two wires to one
terminal, use the adjoining port of
the same terminal.
4. Pull out the screwdriver. The
connection is now complete.
Safety Precautions
Installing the Marking Plate
Because of its removable structure, the marking plate may have fallen from
the socket or become loose in delivery. Make sure that the marking plate is
securely installed before starting operation. The marking plate protects the
conductive portion of the socket, located under the marking plate, by prevent-
ing metal fragments or pieces of wire from dropping inside. Should any such
fragments enter the socket, they may cause fire hazard, damage, or malfunc-
tion.
