Note
The right angle terminals require the removal of the plastic cover
from the terminal block.
You may also install the wires using bare wires.
Here are the procedures to wiring the positive and negative terminal block
on the power supply:

Connecting the
DC Power Wires
with the Straight
Terminals
To use the straight terminals to connect the DC power wires to the positive
and negative terminals on the power supply, perform the following
procedure:
1. Prepare adequate lengths of two stranded 8 AWG power wires by
stripping them as shown in Figure 124.
Warning
Do not strip more than the recommended amount of wire. Stripping
more than the recommended amount can create a safety hazard by
leaving exposed wire on the terminal block after installation. E10
Figure 124. Stripping the Power Wires
Note
You must use stranded wires with the terminal lugs. You may not
use solid wires.
2. Insert the power wires into the terminals included with the power
supply and use a crimping tool to secure the wires to the terminals.
See Figure 125 on page 169.
