Recommended
Cable Sizes and
Lengths and Fuse
Size
For recommended DC cables and fuse sizes, see Table 1-2 and Table 1-3 on
page 1–14.
Preparing the
Cables
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 of crimp connectors – the connector should have a hole size to fit a 3/8"
[9.5mm] stud size to connect to the Conext SW. If a crimp connector is used,
it must be crimped using the tool indicated by the connector manufacturer.
Attach the connectors to the ends of both cables. Make sure no stray wire
strands protrude from the connectors.
Guidelines for
Routing the DC
Cables
Follow these guidelines to ensure maximum performance.
To reduce the chance of radio frequency interference, keep the positive and
negative cables close together—ideally, held together by straps, loom, or
insulated clamps at regular intervals.
WARNING
BURN AND FIRE HAZARD
Connect and disconnect DC wiring only after opening and locking out the
disconnect switches or breakers at all AC and DC sources.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Route the cables away from sharp edges that can cut into or scrape the
insulation. Wires can become exposed. Avoid sharp bends in the cable.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
