Safety Instructions
Misusing or incorrectly connecting the Trace Series Inverter/Charger may damage the equipment
or create hazardous conditions for users. Read the following safety instructions and pay special
attention to all Caution and Warning statements in this document and your Trace Series Inverter/
Charger Installation Manual (Part #: 975-0367-01-01).
1.

All electrical work must be done by a qualified installer.
3.
Before installing or using this device, read all instructions and cautionary markings located in
(or on) the manual, the inverter, the batteries, and any other associated equipment.
WARNING: Shock hazard
The Trace Series Inverter/Charger accepts power from more than one source (both AC and DC).
Always verify ALL power is off before opening the chassis of the Trace Series.
To install the DC Conduit Box:
1.
Carefully unpack the DC Conduit Box. Remove all packing materials.
2.
Verify the Trace Series Inverter/Charger (item A in Figure 1) is completely de-energized.
3.
Remove the cover screw (item B in Figure 1) from the Trace Series.
4.
Align the DC Conduit Box with the left side of the Trace Series chassis. Secure it to the same
surface (wall) as the Trace Series using the proper mounting hardware (item H in Figure 1).
5.
Remove the appropriate conduit knockout(s) (items E/F in Figure 1). The knockouts
accommodate ¾ in. (19 mm), 1 in.(25.4 mm) and 2 in. (50.8 mm) conduit fittings.
6.
Connect the incoming conduit to the DC Conduit Box using a conduit fitting.
7.
Route the DC wires to the Trace Series. Connect them according to the wiring diagrams and
instructions in the Trace Series Inverter/Charger Installation Manual.
Important:
Trace Series Inverter/Charger Installation Manual for more details.
8.
Connect a DC ground wire to the Trace Series's chassis ground lug.
If installed, remote and BTS cables can be routed and attached to the side of the DC wiring box
using the included cable tie retention slots (item G in Figure 1, 3 places).
Important:
•
Torque battery and ground connections on Trace Series terminals to 10-15 ft-lb.
•
Do not interchange the screws from the inverter (item C in Figure 1) with the screws provided
with the DC Conduit Box (item B in Figure 1); they are different sizes.
9.
Attach the conduit box cover (item D in Figure 1) using the hardware provided (item B in
Figure 1). Secure the cover to the top of the Trace Series using the screw removed in Step 3
(item C in Figure 1).
10. Apply power to the Trace Series and test for proper operation as described in your Trace Series
Inverter/Charger Installation Manual.
