6. Installation Instructions

1. Power Off: Disconnect all power to the I/O base.

2. Align Busbar: Match the 170XTS00301 to the base’s connector slots.

3. Snap Into Place: Press firmly until the busbar clicks and seats flush.

4. Prepare Wires: Strip 6–7 mm of insulation; use copper wire only.

5. Insert Wire: Push stripped wire fully into spring terminal; no tool needed.

6. Verify: Gently tug wire to confirm secure clamping.

7. Label: Mark terminals per your wiring diagram.

• Software: Unity Pro, Concept

8. Maintenance

• Quarterly Inspection: Check for loose wires, discoloration, or cracked housing.

• Cleaning: Use dry cloth only; avoid solvents.

• Replacement: Replace if damaged or corroded.

9. Safety Instructions

• Install and service only by qualified electrical personnel.

• Always de‑energize the I/O base before wiring or replacing the busbar.

• Use copper wire only; do not mix wire sizes in one clamp.

• Do not exceed rated voltage/current.

• Keep terminals dry and free of conductive debris.

10. Troubleshooting

Loose Connection / Intermittent Signal

• Reinsert wire fully into spring terminal.

• Check wire insulation length and stripped condition.

• Verify no wire strands are outside the clamp.

Cannot Insert Wire

• Check wire gauge is within 1.5–2.5 mm².

• Ensure spring terminal is not damaged or obstructed.

Busbar Will Not Snap On

• Align with base slots correctly.

• Check for debris or damage on base connectors.
