    2.0 Installation AC Wiring Connections For the MMS1012 model, the AC input and output wiring is performed in the AC wiring compartment. This compartment is accessed via the top panel (see Figure 3, Item 8). If the panel cover is installed, remove the two Phillips screws on the cover to access the AC wiring compartment and locate the inverter’s AC wiring.
