Figure 4 Outside Dimensions

The wall mounting holes are located in the rear corners of the cabinet (Figure 4)

The distance between mounting 

holes is 20 3/4” or 527 mm. in the vertical direction and 16 5/8” or 422.3 mm. in the horizontal direction. 
Mounting holes are 3/8” or 9.5 mm. wide allowing for the use of 5/16” or 9 mm. diameter fasteners.

Mount the 

Gemini

 securely to the wall in accordance with local codes. Once the 

Gemini

 is securely mounted, 

proceed to the connections. Electrical access to the interior is provided by means of eight knock out openings 
(See Figure 3) suitable for 1/2” conduit. Two are located near the bottom of each side and two are located in the 
bottom near each sidewall. 

Gemini

 requires a 120 VAC supply. Proper connection for the 120 VAC supply is a

s

 

follows. Connect line to terminal 1, neutral to terminal 2 and ground to terminal 3. Recommended supply cable 
size is 14 or 12 AWG. Connect the system neutral (neutral bushing of the transformer) to the point identified  
as N (#10 on terminal block) and the system ground to the point identified as G (#11 on terminal block

)

.

Both the Canadian Electrical Code and the National Electrical Code require a minimum size of 8 AWG if conduit 
is used and size 6 AWG if exposed wiring is used.

IMPORTANT NOTE: System Neutral (N) must be connected to the X0 point of the main power transformer on 
wye systems or the X0 point of the zigzag transformer for delta systems. There should be no other connections 
to this point. All conductors must be insulated to the full system voltage.

Following installation, always perform a final inspection. All foreign objects must be removed. All conductors 
must be secured in the proper positions before closing the door and energizing the system. DO NOT ENERGIZE 
the 

Gemini

 unless the door is closed and secured by the two bolts provided.
