3. Route the wiring without connecting it to the AC source or to the
charger yet.
4. Install the supplied cable clamp in the knock-out of your choice on
the AC wiring compartment on the top end of the charger and tighten
the locknut. Run the AC wiring through the cable clamp and about 6
inches into the wiring compartment.
5. Carefully remove approximately 3 inches of the outer jacket, being
careful not to cut or nick the insulation on the individual conductors.
6. Connect the AC wiring to the Truecharge+ pigtail wires in the wiring
compartment junction box, being sure to connect the line conductor to
the line, the neutral to the neutral, and the ground to the ground. The
pigtail wires are color coded as follows:
7. Make the connections with the twist-on or crimp-on connectors
supplied or with other approved connectors suitable for your
installation.
For boat installations, use the crimp-on butt splice connectors
following the procedure “To connect AC wires with the crimp-on
butt-splice connector” on page 2–13. The ABYC Standards and
Recommended Practices for Small Craft prohibit twist-on connectors
for AC connections on a boat. For non-marine installations in
locations not subject to vibration, either type of connector may be
used.
8. When all connections are completed, push the wiring with connectors
inside the wiring compartment. Install wiring compartment cover and
fasten with the blunt-tip screws and lock washers supplied
9. Tighten the cable clamp to secure the wiring. Be sure it grips the outer
cable jacket and not the individual wires.
10. Continue the installation by connecting the other end of the AC
wiring to your AC source, observing the color code described above.
