Basic Installation Procedures

5.Remove the left-hand side AC wiring knockout from the front panel of the unit (see Figure 1-5 on page 1–17).

6.Install one of the supplied strain-relief clamps in the AC knockout.

7.Locate the terminal block.

The two input terminals are labeled as follows:

AC Input (L)

AC Input (N)

A separate screw is provided to connect the AC input ground (see Figure 1-5 on page 1–17).

8.Strip about 2 inches (50 mm) from the jacket of the AC input cable.

The AC input cable may be either solid or stranded (as required), but must have three conductors and be sized as in Table 1-4 on page 1–16. (The AC terminal block accepts wire sizes up to No. 10 AWG.)

9.Strip approximately 3/8 inch (10 mm) from the insulation of each conductor.

10.Run the AC cable through the right-hand side strain-relief clamp and into the wiring compartment.

11.Fasten the Ground wire to the grounding screw.

12.Using the 1/8 inch slot screwdriver, loosen the wire attachment screws on the terminals.

CAUTION: Reverse polarity

Improper connections (connecting a line conductor to a neutral conductor, for example) will cause the Freedom HF to malfunction and may permanently damage the inverter. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by your warranty.
