Installing DC Power Source Wire Leads

These instructions describe how to connect your 3-wire DC power source to the power connector on your
DC power supply. A small flat-tip screwdriver and a wire stripper are required for this procedure.
1 Prepare the three (3) wires—12 gauge—that will plug into the power supply. First make sure they are
not plugged into the DC power source. Next, use a wire stripper to carefully strip between
off the end of each wire, removing the outer insulation to expose the copper core.

2
Open the clamp for the ground wire slot by inserting a small flat-tip screwdriver into the top of the
appropriate circular hole. Loosen the screw so that the clamp for the ground wire opens.
3
Insert the ground wire lead into the slot. The lead you insert must match the lead attached to the DC
power source.
Warning. You must plug DC wire leads into the correct holes in the DC power connector. Use the labels
above the DC power connector as a guide to positive, negative, and ground connections. If the wire leads
are plugged into the wrong holes, the power supply will not work properly and damage to the unit may
result.
Push the wire in far enough such that it reaches the back wall of the connector, about a half inch
inside.
