specifies the minimum DC cable size
and maximum fuse size for the Freedom X.
If at all possible, minimize routing your DC cables through an
electrical distribution panel, battery isolator, or other device that
will cause additional voltage drops which can degrade the
inverter’s ability to operate the loads.

To make the DC connections:
1. Make sure the inverter is off and no AC or DC is connected
to the unit.
2. Remove the wiring compartment cover by loosening the
captive nut panel screw.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive nut panel screw.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage
.
3. Loosen the DC terminal nuts from the terminal bolts and set
them aside for later.
4. Strip ½" (13 mm) to ¾" (19 mm) insulation from one end of
each cable. The amount stripped off will depend on the
terminals chosen.
5. Attach the connectors that will secure the cables to the
battery, to the disconnect/battery selector switch, and the
fuse block. The connectors you use must create a
permanent, low-resistance connection. It is recommended
to use approved and certified cable ring lugs. Use the tool
recommended by the terminal manufacturer. Make sure no
stray wires protrude from the lug or terminal.
NOTE
: You may find it more convenient to have the cable
lugs attached by the company that sells you the cable and/or
connectors.
