7. WIRING
Most of the larger KYOCERA POWER MODULES use
the "G" or "M" type junction box. This box, on the back
side of the module, is weatherproof and is designed to
be used with standard wiring or conduit connections.
Wiring methods should be in accordance to the NEC
(National Electrical Code). Bypass diodes and cable
clamps are included with each module when shipped
from the factory.
A. Open the "G" or "M" box cover by loosening the
screws in the cover. (Figure 4 and 5)
B. The wire typically used to interconnect the solar
modules should be single or two conductor, from 10
AWG(5.26 mm²) up to 14 AWG(2.08 mm²) gauge
stranded copper wire, in a "SUNLIGHT RESISTANT"
jacket UF cable. This cable is suitable for applications
where wiring is exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
The maximum and minimum diameter of the cable that
may be used with the cable connector are 8 mm and 6
mm respectively. (Figure 6)
C. Using a flat blade screwdriver, remove only the
appropriate "KNOCK-OUTS" from the sides of the
"G" or "M" box. (Figure 7 and 8)
