Unscrew the base of the strain relief from the wire compression nut. Place the locknut inside the AC input cover with the flat side of the nut against the cover. Insert the base through the outside opening of the AC input cover. Screw the base securely onto the locknut from the outside (17 ft-lbs).

Slide the wire compression nut over the AC cable. Insert the stripped wires through the strain relief base until the outer cable jacket is flush with the inside edge of the base. Place a wrench on the base to keep it from turning. Now tighten the compression nut to the base (14-16.2 ft-lbs) while holding the cable in place. Now the cable is securely fastened inside the strain relief. Refer to the following figure.

Route the AC wires to the input connector terminals as required. To connect the wires, loosen the terminal screw, insert the stripped wire into the terminal, and tighten the screw securely to between 4.4–5.3 in-lbs.

Route the wires inside the cover to prevent pinching. Fasten the cover to the unit using the M3 x 8mm pan head screws provided (4.8 in-lbs). Refer to the following figure for details.
