Making the DC Output Connections
Before making any of DC output connections make sure you have read and fully understand the DC Connection
Procedure below.
Select proper size for the DC wiring from the wire size table on the previous page. 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.
Power Cabling Guide
Use the following formulas and table to determine proper wire size for minimal voltage drop.

DC Connection Procedure
To prevent the DC circuit breaker from tripping when connecting the battery, connections should be done in the
following order.
1.
Turn off the unit’s AC and DC circuit breakers.
2.
Connect AC line to the unit’s input terminals as described in
Section 2.3 Making the AC Input Connections
.
3.
Connect the battery cables to the unit’s DC output terminals.
OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY
.
4.
Energize the power supply by turning on the unit’s AC breaker. This will charge the capacitors inside the
unit and eliminate heavy arcing when the battery is connected.
5.
After about 30 seconds, turn on the DC breaker
