4. Locate the two 1/4 in. machine bolts, each with flat washer and sealing washer, in a bag
fastened to the inside of the battery compartment.
5. Place the solar shield on the top of the RAN.
6. Push the solar shield backward until it extends slightly beyond the back of the cabinet then
pull it forward catching the two tangs of the solar shield on the top of the RAN.
7. Locate the two clearance holes on the left and right sides just inside the door frame.
8. Align the solar shield threaded holes with the clearance holes and insert the two 1/4 in.
machine bolts in the hole.
9. Using a 7/16 in. nut driver or socket screw, tighten the two 1/4 in. machine bolts to secure

Installing a Ground Wire
Each RAN is designed with provisions for connecting to earth ground. Earth grounding is to be
done in accordance with the National Electric Code and local building code. Two ground studs
for connecting the ground wire are located on the back of the RAN (
). A 2-hole
compression type lug terminal should be installed on the ground studs for connecting a #6 AWG
copper grounding wire.
The following material must be supplied by the installer:
• Panduit LLCF6-14B-L or equivalent (X2)
• Two-hole compression lug terminal for #6 AWG wire
• #6 AWG wire
• Connector for attaching the wire to an approved ground source
The following tools are required to perform this procedure:
• Compression pliers for #6 AWG grounding lug
• Wire cutters
• Wire stripper
Use the following procedure to install the ground wire:
1. Obtain a length of #6 AWG (4 mm) copper wire for use as a cabinet grounding wire.
2. Crimp the #6 AWG copper grounding wire to the compression lug.
3. Secure the compression lug to the back of the cabinet.
4. Route the free end of the grounding wire to an approved earth ground source.
5. Cut the grounding wire to length and connect it to the earth ground source as specified by
local code.
Caution:
For proper equipment operation, an approved earth ground connection must be
provided. The recommended minimum wire size is #6 AWG copper wire.
