4.MAKE WIRE LEAD CONNECTIONS INSIDE THE JUNCTION BOX
1.Make all wire connections by using appropriate UL-listed electrical connectors and techniques.
2.Connect the white and black leads of the Zoneline power supply kit to the branch circuit Neutral and L1 leads. (The white lead of the power supply kit should be connected to neutral.) Connect the green lead of the power supply kit to the power supply and branch circuit ground.
3.Be sure that all wire leads are inside the junction box and not pinched between the box and the unit. The green insulated ground wire from the Zoneline MUST be connected to the branch circuit ground wire.
4.Plug the 9-pin connector into the 9-pin receptacle in the junction box.
5.Replace the junction box cover by replacing the 2 screws removed earlier.
6.Replace the case front panel by replacing the 4 front screws and the 2 top screws. Replace the filter.
