Insert bare stranded wire, tighten screw.
I really dislike these types of connections. In my experience the set screw needs to be retightened often, the copper gets all oxidized, the screws can loosen up and the wires fall out. Yesterda...

The twisted pair wire I tinned is only ~20 AWG, and the small screw tighteners are the small jaws that close down on the wire and require a small jeweler's flat head screwdriver. There is no getting a ring terminal into these.
I did do the double tighten before installing the IPN proremote, but it seems so fragile I was scared of ripping it off the circuit board so did not apply much torque
My solar controller has the little clamps where the stranded wire has to be forked to go around the #8 screw. I H. crimped on ring terminals and modified the business ends so both the 8 awg, 4awg and 10awg would fit correctly. I wish those were made for bigger wire and ring terminals.
