AC Input Route the 3-conductor AC input wires through the cover plate knockouts and into
the AC input compartment. You should have about 15 cm of individually
insulated brown, blue and green/yellow wire. Strip about 1 cm of insulation off
each conductor and connect to the Freedom 10 pigtails: brown to brown, blue to
blue and green/yellow to green/yellow.
Use the wire nuts provided to make the wire connections.
AC Output Route the 3-conductor AC output wire through the cover plate knockouts and
connect in the same fashion.
In addition, if internal output neutral-to-ground bond is not required, remove the
solid green wire from the green/yellow wires and cap with a wire nut.
Pull firmly on each connection to test it. These connections are the first thing to
check if the unit seems to operate improperly. Carefully and neatly tuck the wires
into the AC wiring compartment. Replace the cover plate.
Residual Current Circuit Breaker
In order to conform to the numerous electrical codes, certain branch circuits must
be equipped with a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB). Please consult the
code or a qualified electrician for details. Any such branch circuit must be
protected by a circuit breaker consistent with the (RCCB) rating.
Remote Control Wiring
The remote control is supplied with a 7.62 m or 15.24 m RJ11 remote cable for
connection to the unit. Simply plug one end of the cable into the remote connector
on the bottom of the unit and the other end into the connector on the back of the
remote control panel.
Routing the remote cable away from AC and DC wires will minimize the potential
for interference that may affect the LED bar graphs.
The remote control cable can be extended up to 15.24 m if required. Use standard
4-conductor remote RJ11 cable. Use a single length of cable with no connectors or
in-line splices. If some remote RJ11 cable is left over, coil it up and store it in an
area away from AC equipment to prevent electrical interference.
Once the above steps have been completed, the unit can be bolted down.
CAUTION: Backfeed damage
Do not connect incoming AC from any source to the AC output of the inverter. This is
known as backfeeding and will damage the unit and void the warranty.
