Wiring the Relays
Step 1:
Connect the line (feed/circuit breaker) side of the circuit to the "input"
terminal(s) on the relay card.
Step 2:
Connect the load side of the circuit to the "output" terminal(s) on the
relay card.
Step 3:
Please note that relay card terminals accept the following wire sizes:

NOTE:
Circuit neutrals may follow the path of the line/load conductors through the
relay panel or the line/load conductors may pass back to the panel board to
be joined with the neutral to the load.
The diagrams on the following pages show how to wire the relay circuits.
WARNING: MISWIRING THE RELAY MODULES WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
RELAY MODULE, THE RELAY CABINET, AND POSSIBLY OTHER SYSTEMS
