Installation

To make a permanent connection to existing AC wiring:
1. Install the required circuit breaker in the AC load panel.
2. Ensure AC power is turned off.
3. Remove the left-hand side AC wiring knockout from the front of the
unit.
4. Install a supplied strain-relief clamp in the AC knockout.
5. Locate the terminal block.
The two output terminals are labelled as follows:
• N (neutral)
• L (line)
A separate screw is provided to connect the AC output ground.
6. Strip about 2 inches (50 mm) from the jacket of the AC output cable.
The AC output cable may be either solid or stranded, but must have
three conductors and sized as in Table 3-3 on page 3–14. (The AC
terminal block accepts wire sizes up to No. 10 AWG.)
7. Strip approximately 3/8 inch (10 mm) off the insulation of each
conductor.
8. Run the AC cable through the left-hand side strain-relief clamp and into
the wiring compartment.
9. Fasten the Ground wire to the grounding screw.
10. Using the 1/8 inch slot screwdriver, loosen the wire attachment screws
on the terminals.
11. Insert the Line and Neutral wires into the corresponding terminals.
12. Tighten the wire attachment screws to a torque of 1.3–1.8 lbf-ft (1.76–
2.44 Nm). Leave some wiring slack inside the wiring compartment.
Important:
The applicable installation code may not allow you to run the AC
input and AC output wiring through the same AC knockout.
CAUTION: Reverse polarity
Improper connections (connecting a line conductor to a neutral conductor, for
example) will cause the XM Series Inverter to malfunction and may permanently
damage the inverter. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not
covered by your warranty.
