2.2 Power
2.2.1 AC Power and Earth Ground Connection
Primary power required for the FACP is 120 or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 3.25 amps. The FACP will
auto-detect the voltage used. No special switch or jumper is required to select AC power. Overcur-
rent protection for this circuit must comply with Article 760 of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and/or local codes. Use 14 AWG (2.00 mm
2
) or larger wire with 600 volt insulation rating. Make
certain that the AC mains circuit breaker is off before wiring any connections between the mains
and the control panel. Connect wiring from the AC mains to TB13 on the FACP, being careful to
observe proper connections.
Remove the two keps nuts from the grounding stud in the backbox. Connect the incoming earth ground wire to supplied cable #71073
with a wire nut. Position the ring terminal end over the grounding stud. Secure with one of the keps nuts. Place the ring terminal from the
other supplied ground cable #71073 over the ground stud and secure with the second keps nut. Wire the ground cable to the bottom posi-
tion of TB11. Refer to Figure 2.1 on page 22 for location of the stud. Ensure that the ground for AC mains is the first cable installed,
closest to the backbox. This connection is vital in reducing the panel’s susceptibility to transients generated by lightning and electrostatic
discharge. Apply AC power to the panel only after the system is completely installed and visually checked.
Note that AC power must be
applied to the panel before installing the battery interconnect cable (refer to the following section).
2.2.2 Battery Power
The batteries must be sealed lead acid type. Before connecting the batteries to the FACP,
make certain that the interconnect cable between the batteries is not connected. Do not con-
nect the interconnect cable until the system is completely installed. Observe polarity when
connecting the batteries. Connect the battery cable to J9 on the main circuit board. Refer to
“Power Supply Calculations” on page 128, for calculation of the correct battery rating.
