Fusion Installation Procedures
Optional Connection to DC Power Source
This is an optional connection method using ring tongue lugs instead of the com-
pression lugs that are premounted on the terminal block. Use wire selection
instructions previously explained.
WARNING: Before connecting power wires, be sure the power
source is shut off, and the power switch of the hubs are in the OFF
position. Connect the ground wires before connecting the power
wires.
1. Remove the existing compression lugs by first removing the mounting screws as
shown in Figure 7-10.
Figure 7-10 Compression Lug and Mounting Screw Locations
2. Connect the safety ground wire as previously explained and shown in
Figure 7-11. Use 14AWG minimum wire with a #8-32 stud size ring lug as shown
in Figure 7-12.
