Wiring the Driver to AC Power

BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING WITH 120VAC. Ensure nothing is plugged in before proceeding!

The AC Line and Neutral, or ACL and ACN wires, which are brown and blue, connect to the

power cord included in our kits. Strip the white and black wires of the power cord (green is ground and
unused) and attach them to the blue and brown wires on the driver with the included moisture resistant
wire nuts. Order is not important because AC current alternates. Obviously, this step is dangerous
because you are working with 120VAC. Make sure nothing is plugged in and have a licensed electrician
assist you with this step.
