Disconnect power before wiring.
NOTE: Select wire size adequate for load. Refer to NEC tables article 400.
WIRE SIZE: #10 AWG 3 Conductor Minimum
IMPORTANT: This is a 30 Amp, 125V Shore Power Inlet (NEMA L5-30P) for use in dry
locations. Use copper wire only.
WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE WIRING. FAILURE TO WIRE AS
INSTRUCTED MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO DEVICE OR
EQUIPMENT. MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN ELECTRICIAN OR QUALIFIED PERSON
ONLY. DO NOT USE AT ANY TIME IF HOUSING IS CHIPPED, CRACKED,
OR BROKEN.
Installation Instructions:
Locate a desired mounting location for the new shore power inlet.
NOTE: Always make sure that no vehicle systems or wiring will be damaged when
drilling the mounting holes.
Drill a mounting hole using a 2-1/2” hole saw. Deburr the mounting hole.
Insert the new power inlet into the mounting hole and using it as a template, mark
the locations of the mounting screws.
Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws using a 1/8” drill bit.
Disassemble the power inlet assembly by removing the Threaded Cap and Rear
Safety Enclosure. Refer to Mounting Diagram 1.
Loosen the three Terminal Screws.
Feed the power cable to be used through the mounting hole, Threaded Cap, and
Rear Safety Enclosure.
CAUTION: The three-conductor power cable being used must be at least 10 AWG.
Smaller gauge wires will overheat and is a re hazard.
Strip 1-5/16” of the cable insulation being careful not to cut into the insulation of
the internal wires.
Strip the insulations of all three wires to expose 5/16” worth of the inner stranded
copper. Make sure inner stranded copper are free of corrosion. Do not solder the
ends of the wire.
Insert the wires into the color-coded openings on the back of the power inlet and
tighten the terminal screws to 20 in-lb to securely fasten the wires. Refer to Wiring
Diagram 1.
NOTE: Make sure the terminal clamps are making contact with the inner stranded
copper and not contacting the insulation of the wires.
WARNING: If the power inlet is to be used on a boat, the installer must make sure
the installation is in compliance with Federal Regulations covering Electrical
Systems 33 CFR 183 Subpart 1, National Fire Protection Association NFPA 302
Chapter 8, and American Boat and Yacht Council's Standards and Recommended
Practices for Small Craft Project E-11.
Reassemble the power inlet assembly by re-attaching the Rear Safety Enclosure
to the power inlet. Note the alignment tab and arrow indicating which way to turn
to fasten the two parts together.
Proceed with tightening the Threaded Cap to engage the strain relief clamp.
Position the mounting gasket and power inlet over the mounting hole and secure
it to the mounting surface using the included screws.

to the power inlet and tightening the two housing screws. Note the positions of
the alignment notch and protrusion present on the power inlet housing and rear
safety enclosure.
Proceed with tightening the Threaded Cap to engage the strain relief clamp.
