of electric shock. Follow your safety procedures and protocols.
Do not make or break connections under load.
Ensure that there are no parallel connections to the string while series
connections are being made.
Voltage may be present on the output terminals when an input terminal is
connected.
Voltage builds as modules are connected in series.
CAUTION
Read the caution statements below:
To reduce the risk of fire, connect the outputs of the Ampt equipment only to
conductors with sufficient ampacity based on the maximum output fault
current (maximum optimizer output current) for the chosen optimizer. Over-
current protection devices and conductors shall be sized in accordance with
the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70); Canadian Electrical Code, Part
I; or the applicable standards, codes, and regulations for your region.
Over current protection is required for the DC output circuit in the installation.
Ampt recommends that a disconnect switch be included in the installation for
the DC output.
Do not put stress on the optimizer connectors at any time. The cable
management method must prevent tension on each connector and
movement of the connecting wires at all times. Tracker installations must
avoid tension on the connectors throughout its rotation.

Failure to follow these instructions will void warranty.
