Fuse Size
For recommended DC cables and fuse sizes, see Table 2 and
Table 3 on page 15.
Preparing the Cables
To prepare the DC cables:
1. Cut the negative and positive cables to the required
length. Strip off enough insulation so you can install the
terminals you will be using.
Use crimp connectors. The connector should be designed
for a 9.5 mm stud size to connect to the Freedom SW
230V. If a crimp connector is used, it should be crimped
using the tool indicated by the connector manufacturer.
2. Cut the DC ground cable to the required length. Strip off
enough insulation so you can install the terminals you
will be using.
Use crimp connectors. The connector should be designed
for a 6.35 mm stud size to connect to the Freedom SW
230V. If a crimp connector is used, it should be crimped
using the tool indicated by the connector manufacturer.
3. Attach the connectors to the ends of both cables. Make
sure no stray wire strands protrude from the connectors.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Connect and disconnect DC wiring only after opening the disconnect
switches or breakers at all AC and DC sources.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
