• #8–16 AWG insulated copper wire for the output power wires (use black for the RTN wire
and red for the BATT wire)
• #22–26 AWG insulated copper wire for the wire-wrap pin terminal alarm wires or #16–30
AWG insulated copper wire for the screw-down terminal alarm wires.
• Heat-shrink tubing
3 INSTALLATION
This section provides the installation procedures for the Select Series circuit breaker panel.
3.1 Test Continuity
Each Select Series panel is thoroughly tested at the ADC factory before being shipped.
However, before the panel is installed, a continuity test should be performed to verify that no
internal damage has occurred during shipping and handling. Using a multimeter that is set to
perform a continuity check, perform the following tests.
Test 1: Input Battery to Input Return - Connect one test probe to the A input power BATT
(–) terminal and the other test probe to the A input power RTN (+) terminal (see
Figure 4 ).
Verify that no continuity exists between the input power BATT and RTN terminals. Repeat test
procedure for the B input power terminals.
Test 2: Input Battery to Output Battery - Place each of the A power bus circuit breakers in the
ON position. Connect one test probe to the A input power BATT (–) terminal and the other test
probe to the #1 output power BATT (–) terminal on the A output terminal block (see
Figure 5 ).
Verify that continuity exists between the specified terminals. Verify that continuity exists
between the A input power BATT (–) terminal and each of the remaining A output power BATT
terminals. Repeat the same test procedure for the B power bus circuits. Place all circuit
breakers in the OFF position following completion of this test.
