2. Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive (+) terminal on the terminal block.
3. Connect the negative wire from the power source to the negative (-) terminal on the terminal block.
4. Install a jumper between the surge ground terminal and chassis ground terminal. The surge ground terminal
is used as the ground conductor for all surge and transient suppression circuitry internal to the unit.
5. Using a #10 ring lug and #10-32 screw, secure a ground wire (or bond point) to the chassis ground
connection on the device. Make sure the lug is tightened to 1.1 N·m (9.5 lbf·in).
