Xantrex Technology XM 1800 Chassis Ground Stud, To connect the cable to the chassis ground stud

Installing the XM 1800

Chassis Ground Stud

Xantrex recommends that you attach the grounding cable to the chassis ground stud with a ring terminal. This procedure will ensure that the wire does not slip off the chassis ground stud.

To connect the cable to the chassis ground stud:

1.Remove the ground stud nut and star washer.

2.Strip 1/2 inch (13 mm) to 3/4 inch (19 mm) of insulation from the end of the cable.

3.Attach the ring connector that will join the cable to the chassis ground stud. The connector you use must create a permanent, low-resistance connection. (See “Materials” on page 3–10.)

4.Fit the ring connector and star washer over the stud. The ring connector should be flat against the XM 1800 chassis.

5.Tighten the ground stud nut.
