2. Hardwire the Electrical Connection
Caution:
The electrical connection must be made by an authorized electrician according to national and local regulations.
Verify that the supply line contains a 25 Ampere circuit breaker BEFORE hardwiring the UPS.
Ensure that the batteries are not installed in the UPS until the hardwiring is complete.
Incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring design.
1.Select the appropriate wire size and connectors. For most applications, #10 AWG (5 sq. mm) wire should be sufficient.
2.The input and output wiring terminals are located on the rear panel of the UPS. Remove the hardwire cover by unscrewing the single screw that holds it in place.
