8.Connect the line and neutral wires to the input terminals (labeled AC Input on the terminal block, Figure 2 on page 21). Connect Line to L, Neutral to N, and Ground to G.

9.Tighten the terminal screws. Leave some slack wire inside the wiring box.

10.Secure the strain-relief clamp on the AC input cable jacket.

Connecting AC Output Wires

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Do not connect the output of the inverter to any incoming AC source.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.

To make the AC output wiring connections:

1.Remove one of the AC knockouts from the front or side of the unit. Do not leave the knockout inside the wiring compartment.

IMPORTANT: The applicable installation code may not allow you to run the AC input and AC output wiring through the same AC knockout.

2.Install a strain-relief clamp in the AC knockout and run the AC wiring through the strain-relief clamp.

3.Strip approximately 2 inches (50 mm) off the jacket from the AC cable and separate the wires.

4.Using a 1/4" blade slot screwdriver, loosen the terminal screws on the AC output terminals. Do not remove the screws.

5.Connect the line and neutral wires to the output terminals (labeled AC Output on the terminal block, Figure 2 on page 21) as follows:
