- Locate a safe, dry location.
- Disconnect the trailer from shore power and cut the supply romex (often 10 ga orange).
- Strip the wires.
- Familiarize yourself with the internals of the surge protector.
- Connect the upstream (incoming) wires.
- Connect the downstream (outgoing) wires.
- Face the current sensor the correct way by looking at the arrow (see manual).
- Screw the cover on.
- Connect the remote display.
- Connect the trailer to shore power and verify all the values (incoming voltage, no errors, etc) are correct.
