INSTALLATION
AC Wiring
Determine which knockout(s) on the front or side panels will be utilized and remove them from the inverter. Note: Only remove the knockout you will use to route the AC wires, leaving the other knockout(s) intact. Install a strain relief in knockout holes. Depending upon which model you have, there can be one or two AC inputs and one or two AC outputs within the AC wiring compartment. The labeling for the pigtails is on the front of the unit.

Conventional metal or plastic strain reliefs may be used or 3/4 inch conduit fittings if the wiring will be routed through a conduit.
Appropriate wire gauges must be used throughout the installation. Refer to NEC specifications.
AC Input: All inputs from other AC
sources must be protected by branch circuit rated breakers.
In the United States, no additional circuit breakers are required between the inverter/ charger and the loads if the AC input service to the inverter/charger is protected by a 15 or 20 ampere branch circuit rated breaker. This also applies to Dual Input models (Freedom 25 and
30)where the inputs may be 15 or 20 amperes each. In Canada, 15 ampere branch circuit(s) maximum shall provide the service.
If a 30 ampere service supplies the inverter/charger, additional 20 ampere (15 ampere in Canada) maximum branch circuit
rated breakers will be required between the inverter/charger AC output and the loads.
Feed the AC input wire(s) through the knockout and into the AC wiring compartment. Allow 6 inches of individual insulated black, white and green wire to work with. Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation off each conductor and connect to the compression terminal block: Black to Black, White to White, and Green to Green.
You may choose to use butt splices (not included) to make the wire connections.
AC Output: Feed AC output wire group(s) through the knockout. Remember to allow 6 inches of individual insulated black, white and green wire to work with. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation off each conductor and connect to the compression terminal block: Black to Black, White to White, and Green to Green.
Tug firmly on each connection to make sure they are secure. Later, if the unit is not operating properly, check these connections first. Carefully tuck the wires into the AC wiring compartment. Secure the cover plate over the electrical compartment. The cover plate is in the accessory package.
