3.1 Wiring Specifications
Input and output connections to the AC4 may be made in any order—it is not necessary, for example,
to make all input connections before making any output connections. Use copper conductors only for
all wiring.
!
CAUTION
Switch OFF electric power to the AC4 before installing any wiring to the unit or changing
input or output connections. The Power On/Off switch is in the top left corner of the unit.
