Installation Procedures

Step 1 - Position the AC bus cable

Step 2 - Install the AC branch circuit junction box

Figure 2

a. Install an appropriate junction box at a suitable location on the PV

racking system ((typically at the end of a branch of modules).

b. Connect the open wire end of the AC bus cable into the junction

box using an appropriate gland or strain relief fitting.

c. Wire the conductors

of the AC bus

: L - BROWN; N - BLUE; PE - YELLOW GREEN.

d. Connect the AC branch circuit junction box to the point of utility

Interconnection.

WARNING:

Wiring colour code can be different according local regulation,

check all the wires of the installation before connecting to the AC bus to be
sure they match.Wrong cabling can damage irreparably the microinverters,

such an issue is not covered by the warranty.

Step 3 - Attach the APsystems Microinverters to the racking or the PV

module frame

a. Mark the location of the Microinverter on the rack, with respect to

the PV module junction box or any other obstructions.

b. Mount one Microinverter at each of these locations using hardware

recommended by your module racking vendor.
