Marine Installation

 

 

AC Input

Route the 3-conductor AC input wires through the cover plate knockouts and into

 

the AC input compartment. You should have about 15 cm of individually

 

insulated brown, blue and green/yellow wire. Strip about 1 cm of insulation off

 

each conductor and connect to the Freedom 10 pigtails: brown to brown, blue to

 

blue and green/yellow to green/yellow.

 

To meet marine electrical codes, you may want to use butt splices instead of the

 

wire nuts provided to make the wire connections.

AC Output

Route the 3-conductor AC output wire through the cover plate knockouts and

 

connect in the same fashion.

 

In addition, if internal output neutral-to-ground bond is not required, remove the

 

solid green wire from the green/yellow wires and cap with a wire nut.

CAUTION: Backfeed damage

Do not connect incoming AC from any source to the AC output of the inverter. This is known as backfeeding and will damage the unit and void the warranty.

Pull firmly on each connection to test it. These connections are the first thing to check if the unit seems to operate improperly. Carefully and neatly tuck the wires into the AC wiring compartment. Replace the cover plate.

Residual Current Circuit Breaker

In order to conform to the numerous electrical codes, certain branch circuits must be equipped with a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB). Please consult the code or a qualified electrician for details. Any such branch circuit must be protected by a circuit breaker consistent with the (RCCB) rating.

Remote Control Wiring

The remote control is supplied with 7.62 m or 15.24 m RJ11 remote cable for connection to the unit. Simply plug one end of the cable into the remote connector on the bottom of the unit and the other end into the connector on the back of the remote control panel.

Routing the remote cable away from AC and DC wires will minimize the potential for interference that may affect the LED bar displays. The remote control cable can be extended up to 15.24 m if required. Use standard 4-conductor remote RJ11 cable. Use a single length of cable with no connectors or in-line splices. If some remote RJ11 cable is left over, coil it up and store it in an area away from AC equipment to prevent electrical interference.

Once the above steps have been completed the unit can be bolted down.
