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.
