- AN CONNECTION FROM SHORE POWER - 30 Amp shore power inlet provides easy power hookup to the exterior wall of your RV or camper trailer. This allows you to connect a 30 amp extention cord (NOT INCLUDED) to a 30 amp campground power pedestal or other 125V outlet to supply power to loads in your camper or charge batteries from shore power, when paired with a charger.
- SPECIFICATIONS - Rated 30A, 125 Volt,amp rating for a 3.5 Kw setup,3-Prong, male.ETL Approved.Twist-lock design ensures that plug stays securely connected and makes a watertight seal.Watertight dust cover protects the inlet when not in use,while keeps the cap in an upright position when open.
- LONG LASTING STRENGTH - RV power inlet features a glass filled polyester construction that is UV stabilized.The tough construction and corrosion resistance provides long life.
- INSTALLATION - Easy to mount power plug. Hardest part is deciding where and cutting the hole.3″hole saw and 1/8”drill bit are recommanded. 3-wire:Black-Load(125Volt),White-Neutral,it connects to the ground bar,Green-Equipment ground and shouldn't have a load.Require the use of BTW 8AWG or 10AWG wire.NOTE:Do not use the small gauge wire as this will result in overheating and possible electrical fire.
- APPLICATION - Use as a new inlet or as a replacement part for an old unit. Step by step installation instructions are included.30 amp power plug is great for installation in a trailer camper van boat RV for shore power.Perfect way to connect a generator for back up power.
WARING:
The inlet is not to be connected to power prior to installation.Failure to comply with this instruction could result in an electrical failure,fire and electrocution.
New Installation
1. Determine mounting location in hull.Be careful that the location you select for the mounting hole does not go through any electrical wiring,plumbing or other obstruction.All power tools must be properly grounded.
2. Mark the installation location and cut opening in hull using hole saw(3”diameter hole.)
3. Place the inlet in the opening and align so that the inlet is square with the hull.Use the inlet as a template and mark the mounting hole location with a pencil.Remove inlet and drill mounting holes using 1/8”drill bit.
4. Remove the rear safety enclosure from the inlet.
5. Pull internal wiring through hull opening.Note:the 30amp inlet requires the use of 8AWG or 10AWG wire.Do not use the small gauge wire as this will result in overheating and possible electrical fire.
6. Thread the wiring through the rear safety enclosure and the strain relief on rear enclosure(if included),then slide the mounting gasket over the wiring.
7. Back off terminal screws on the rear housing of the inlet.
8. Strip wire end to 3/4.Make sure the wire strands are clean and not corroded.If necessary,cut back the wire until clean wire in uncovered.Do not solder the ends of the wire.Insert wires into color coded openings on the back of the inlet.Tighten terminal screws to 20 in.-lbs.torque.Make certain there is no wire insulation nder any terminal.
9. Tighten the strain relief clamp screws until they are tight around the wiring.Slide the rear safety enclosure onto the back of the inlet.
10. Position the gasket and inlet over the hull opening,align the mounting holes and attach the inlet to the hull with screws.
11. Use #8 pan head stainless steel screws to install the inlet.
