Connecting AC Wiring

AC HOT wiring is connected to the Sun Tie XR’s L1 and L2 breakers, and the ground wire connects to the ground bar. All AC wiring is located in the lower section of the Sun Tie XR.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD

AC utility wiring to the Sun Tie XR unit is performed directly at the main breaker panel. This should be done only by a qualified utility installer or electrician with prior utility company approval.

Note: The Sun Tie XR can be connected to a single bidirectional meter, or to dual meters, where one meter indicates power used and the second meter indicates power sold (power supplied back to the utility). The installer and utility must determine the proper components to install.
