Hi - I looked in the manual but didn't see reference to a removable neutral/ground bar like the 802A/803A's have if you want to hook up to a home with a disconnect. From what I read code requires only one place where neutral/ground is bonded and that is generally in the existing panel. The 803A has a simple bar to remove the bonding. Anybody added a switch or changed their's?

I believe breaking the bond in an 831 is accomplished by removing the small plate with the two screws in it on this board the output lugs pass through inside the 831
Thanks! I'll unhook and check continuity between N-G to confirm. I was thinking of putting a switch in place to be able to toggle when I need it bonded (stand alone) and then when I don't (connected to home). Assuming just a SPST switch rated at 240V should work.?

If the switch is caged, ok. But if not, it might be an easy way to cause big trouble.
