4.2 Installation Tips

1. Group the incoming wires through the top of the enclosure. For easy identification and

neatness use a wire tie to group wires.

2. Be sure to connect a solid Earth Ground (from building system ground / to a cold water

pipe) to the Chassis Earth Ground Mounting Lug, and to connect the Earth Ground Wire

Lugs from the Main Chassis to the ground screw on the Backbox.

Attention: DO NOT install cable through bottom of the box. This space is reserved

for Batteries.
