Special male-to-male Camlok cables will be needed. For 480 V mode, it is recommended that one 4/0 cable per phase, neutral and ground be used. For 208V mode, use two 4/0 cables per phase and neutral and one 4/0 cable for ground. Also connect the parallel communication cables.

7.Connect the load to the receptacles on the Camlok/ Voltage Output Panel. When the camloks are inserted into the outlet connector, rotate clockwise until they are locked in place. Make sure the camloks are connected securely.
