For each DC power block a set of a minimum 2x18AWG cables shall be used with suitable end terminal legs matching the conductor’s gauge. Use a RED lead to for the positive conductor and a BLACK lead for the negative conductor. It is recommended that only UL listed components be used for the DC power connections.
CAUTION | For a DC system, use a grounding wire of at least 10 American Wire |
| Gauge (AWG). The 10 AWG wire should be attached to an agency- |
| approved crimp connector, crimped with the proper tool. The crimp |
| connector should allow for securement to both ground screws on the |
| enclosure. |

|
CAUTION | For the DC input circuit to the system, make sure there is a Listed 10 amp |
| circuit, minimum |
| The input wiring for connection to the product should be Listed copper |
| wire, 18 AWG, marked |
