WARNING

The CTR Must Be Connected Correctly.
1) The CT protector (model: CTR) included in the product
package must be used for safe operations.  Turning on the CT without connecting the CTR opens the circuit and is potentially dangerous.
2) The CTR is not interchangeable with another.
Be sure to match the serial No. of the CTR to that of the
converter.
3) Connect the CTR’s wires (C, D) and metal legs (A, B) to the corresponding terminals of the installation base as indicated in the figure to the right.  The metal legs (A, B) are to be secured at the base terminals together with the output wires from the CT.   Wrong connection may cause abnormally high temperature in the unit which could lead a fire in the worst cases.
4) Confirm the right connection of the CTR again before turning on the CT.
