Colored wire should be connected to same color
screw. Wire color indicated on manual is
connected to the same color screw in block.
Otherwise, excessive current is applied resulting
in damages on product and heating failure.
• Appropriate screwing is essential. Imcomplete
screwing also may cause loose connection or
unscrewing because of excessive screw
abrasion.
• Loose screwing may cause connection error,
which result in death, fire or serious injury.
