6.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.)

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

8.Run the AC cable through the right-hand side knockout and into the wiring compartment.

9.Fasten the Ground wire to the grounding screw.

10.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 HW to malfunction and may permanently damage the inverter. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by your warranty.

11.Insert the Line and Neutral wires into the corresponding terminals.

12.Tighten the wire attachment screws to a torque of 15.6–21.6 in-lbf (1.76–2.44 N-m). Leave some wiring slack inside the wiring compartment.

13.Reinstall the AC wiring compartment cover.
