OEM Installation of the WFCO WF-8930/50 Series Power Center

Select a mounting location near the shore power and battery (batteries) and cut a rough opening 1/8? wider than the box to allow the power center to slide in easily.

Two sizes of knockouts have been provided: a 1" knockout for the 50 amp and a 3/4" knockout for the 30 amp power cord. The 7/8" holes are provided for the 12 Vdc installations. There is also a series of built-in 120 Vac strain reliefs for Romex and should be used only with 10-2 through 14-2 gage wires, one wire per strain relief opening.

Select a mounting location that is appropriate to prevent excessive heat, water, moisture, dust and dirt entering the unit installed. All installation should be tested for overall performance.
