NOTE: ALL external wiring must be UL listed or recognized rated VW-1 or FT-1 and
conforming to NEC ANSI/NFPA 70.
Cord Grips Recommended Wiring Diameters
Small Diameter Accommodates 0.138 to 0.276 inches (3.5 to 7.0 mm)
Large Diameter Accommodates 0.177 to 0.394 inches (4.5 to 10.0 mm)
Cable Connections to Interface Module
 Where the cabling enters the interface module, use the supplied cord
grips with rubber grommets.
 Once all cabling is completed, plug all unused interface module
openings.
IMPORTANT: All unused openings must be plugged to maintain the
Interface Module’s IP54 rating.
Proper Wiring to Terminal Blocks inside Interface Modules
1. If necessary, strip the insulation off the end of wire approximately 1/4”
[6,35mm].
2. Use flathead screwdriver to push the spring-cage terminal block open
until it stops.
3. Insert wire into terminal opening.
4. Allow the screwdriver to release the spring-cage terminal block.
5. Confirm the wire is held firmly in place.
Wiring the AL5010 Interface Modules
After completing mechanical installation, use this section to properly wire
your AL5010 reader for optimal performance in your application. All wiring
connections are made via a basic or enhanced interface module.
Use the conduit openings for running wires into the interface module. Route
your cabling for power, tachometer, trigger, communications, and I/O through
the recommended conduit openings.
