Input Power
The smart connector LINE(Black) and NEUTRAL(White) wires are 12 AWG stranded
copper conductors.

1. Strip wires to 1/2”.

2. Connect Controller Line Input to premise line power feed with appropriate sized wirenut or
push-in connector.

3. Connect Smart Connector Neutral Input to premise neutral feed with appropriately sized
wirenut or push-in connector..

4. For feed-through (i.e., “daisy-chain”) installations, connect the LINE hot feed-through
conductor into the wirenut in step 2. Also, connect the NEUTRAL feet-through conductor
connected without re-installing the wires. into the wirenut in step 3.

LOAD
The LOAD(red) and Neutral(White) wire are 18 AWG solid copper conductors.

1. Strip wires to 1/2”.

2. Connect Controller LOAD wire to the AC outlet with appropriate sized wirenut or push-in
