Procedure
Step 1
Locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, and switch the circuit breaker to
the OFF position.
Step 2
Prepare the DC-input wires and the grounding wire. Crimp the lugs to the cable ends according to the lug
manufacturer's direction and your local electrical codes for installation.
Use a heat-shrink sleeve to ensure that there is no exposed wiring extending from the terminal block, when
installed.
If you are using cables of different colors for your DC-input wires, we recommend one color for all the positive
circuits, a second color for all the negative circuits, and a third color, which is normally solid green or green
with yellow stripes, for the safety ground connection.
Step 3
Using a number one Phillips screwdriver, loosen the captive installation screw on the terminal block cover.
Step 4 Using a nut driver, loosen and remove the two nuts in the terminal slot meant for grounding, and set them
aside.
The nut driver you are using must have at least a three-inch shaft, to clear the height of the terminal block
cover and enable you to loosen or tighten the nuts in the terminal slots.
