Installing the XC Series

5.Install the cable strain relief on the XC Series end of the source AC cable.

6.Carefully remove 50 – 75 mm (2 – 3 in.) of the outer jacket, being careful not to cut or nick the insulation on the individual conductors.

7.Pull the XC Series pigtail wires out through the access hole.

8.Thread the source AC cable through the knockout beneath the wiring compartment cover and then pull it out through the access hole.

9.Connect the AC wiring to the XC Series pigtail wires, 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:

Conductor

Color code

 

 

Line

Black or brown

Neutral

White or blue

Ground

Green with yellow stripe

10.Make the connections with twist-on or crimp-on connectors or with other approved connectors suitable for your installation. For example, 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. For marine installations, follow the procedure for installing butt splice connectors.
