INSTALLATION
Ground Fault Circult Interrupters
To conform to NEC regulations, certain branch circuits must be equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Please consult the code or a qualified electrician for details. Any such branch circuits must be protected by a brand rated circuit breaker consistent with the GFCI rating. Underwriters Laboratories has tested the following GFCI, and its use is recommended. Receptacle Type:
Pass & Seymour
Catalog Number 1591
Rated: 15 Amps at 120 Volts AC
Remote Control Wiring
If installing a remote panel, route the remote cable and connect to the Remote jack on the front of the unit. Refer to the Remote Control Panel or Link Owner’s Manual for more information.
TSC Temperature Sensor
If installing the TSC (Temperature Sensitive Charging) sensor, connect the ring terminal end to the positive battery post, complete the routing of the RJ11 cable (15 feet supplied) and connect the plug end to the TSC
DC Wiring
DC wiring is generally very simple, the positive (+, may be red for identification) and negative
High current will pass through the DC wiring. All wires must be properly sized and all connections clean and tight. It is recommended that the battery cable length does not exceed 10 feet.
Battery cables should be connected to the inverter/charger before any connections are made to the battery. Follow the battery hardware stackup diagram.
