Main DC (+) Connection

The unit's main DC (+) connection is made using commonly available components not included
with the CLMD16.
Connect a source of DC (+) with a ring terminal to the 5/16"-18 stud on the front of the device and
torque the connection within the specified range of 30 – 35 in-lbs. (3.39 – 3.95N·m). Ensure that the
cable providing the Main DC (+) source is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker with a value
appropriate to protecting the wire. Cable runs should be kept as short as possible to avoid
unnecessary voltage drop. If unsure of appropriate cable sizing, the CLMD16 load calculation
requirement can be found by using a load calculation reference table as outlined by ABYC 11.8.1.
See Table 1 for an example of this load calculation method. Using the load table's findings, choose
an appropriate feeder cable per ABYC E-11, Table 9 and 10. If unsure, consult a certified regulatory
standard installer for your application type.
Note: Multiple CLMD16 units can be connected to the same Main DC (+) feeder source so long as
the unit's main fuse / breaker overcurrent protection does not exceed 125A (The maximum
specification of the CLMD16) and the feeder wire to each unit is sized identically.
