8.Repeat steps 5 to 7 for Line and Neutral connections.

Tighten the wire attachment screws to a torque of 1.3–1.8 lbf-ft (1.76– 2.44 Nm). Leave some wiring slack inside the wiring compartment.

Ensure you have maintained correct polarity and that there are no loose strands of wire.

REVERSE POLARITY DAMAGE

1.Ensure AC and DC power sources are turned off.

2.Install the required circuit breaker in the inverter distribution panel receiving AC power from the inverter.

3.Remove the GFCI unit to expose the AC output terminals inside the wiring compartment behind the AC OUT knockout.

4.Install a strain-relief clamp on the AC OUT knockout.

5.Strip a single strand (e.g. Romex) AC output wire, as appropriate.

6.Locate the Line, Ground and Neutral terminals on the AC output terminal labeled as L, GND, and N respectively.

7.Passing the wire through the knockout, insert the Ground AC output wire into the Ground terminal slot on the unit.

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.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.

9.Secure the wires by adjusting the strain-relief clamp.

10.Install the GFCI back into the front panel of the unit.

11.Alternatively, if you do not reinstall the GFCI, make sure that you cap the exposed wires and install a blanking plate to cover the space vacated by the GFCI.

12.Connect the other end of the wires to a circuit breaker in the inverter distribution panel.
