2 Product Introduction
2.1 Product Introduction
Function Description
The device transfers between on-grid mode and backup mode with an integrated switch. The device connects the main panel, the utility grid, and the AC output of the inverter to form an on-grid system when the utility grid works normally. Once the utility grid fails, the device will connect loads and the AC output of the inverter only to form a backup system. The ABD supports one inverter and the MPD supports up to three inverters.

4.1 Safety Precaution
DANGER
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK · Perform electrical connections, including operations, cables, and component specifications
in compliance with local laws and regulations ANSI/NFPA 70. · The input and output circuits are isolated from the enclosure and that system grounding,
if required by the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, is the responsibility of the installer. · Power off the device before any electrical connections. Otherwise, an electric shock may
occur. · Tie the cables of the same type together, and place cables of different types apart. Do not
place the cables entangled or crossed. · If the tension is too large, the cable may be poorly connected. You have to reserve a certain
length of the cable before connecting it to the device cable port. · Make sure that the cable conductor is in full contact with the terminal and the cable insulation
part is not crimped with the terminal when crimping the terminal. Otherwise, the device may not be able to work properly, or the connection may be unreliable during working, which may cause terminal block damage, etc.
NOTICE
· Cable colors in this document are for reference only. The cable specifications shall meet local laws and regulations.
4.2 Preparing Conductor Conduit & Fittings
4.2.1 Conduit Holes
WARNING
· Wiring conduits are additionally required, not included in the scope of delivery. The conduit must be UL514B listed and meet the specifications of the waterproof nut.
