1.2.2 Output
Connections
Before connecting the Battery and/or DC loads, it is recommended to apply AC power and set the configuration
for the correct output. See section 2.3 for the configuration instructions. Once the configuration is set remove
AC power from the main breaker to the charger.
Select proper size for the DC wiring from the wire size table above (Table 3). If the distance between the unit’s
DC output and the DC load exceeds 10 feet, use the Power Cable Guide below to minimize the voltage drop
across the wire distance.

1.2.3 Power Cabling Guide
Use the following formulas and table to determine proper wire size for minimal voltage drop.
