MANAGE THE CABLING
Use cable clips to attach the cable to
the PV module frame. Leave no
more than 1.8 m (six feet) between
cable clips. (See Figure 12)
Dress any excess cabling in loops so
that it does not come into contact
with the roof. Do not form loops
smaller
than 12 cm (4¾ inch) in
diameter.
Tripping Hazard. Loose cables can
become a tripping hazard. Dress the
Enphase Q Cable to minimize this
potential.

TERMINATE THE UNUSED END
OF THE CABLE
Terminate the unused end of the
Enphase Q Cable (See Figure 13).
Remove 13 mm (½ inch) of the ca-
ble sheath from the conductors. Use
the terminator loop to measure 13
mm.
Slide the hex nut onto the cable.
There is a grommet inside of the hex
nut that should remain in place.
Insert the cable into the terminator
body so that each of the two wires
land on opposite sides of the inter-
nal separator.
Insert a screwdriver into the slot on
top of the terminator to hold it in
place, and use a 27 mm wrench or
channel lock pliers to tighten the
hex nut to 7 Nm.
Hold the terminator body stationary
with the screwdriver and turn only
the hex nut to prevent the conduc-
tors from twisting out of the separa-
tor.
Turn only the hex nut to prevent
conductors from twisting out of the
separator.
Attach the terminated cable end to
the PV racking with a cable clip or
tie wrap so that the cable and termi-
nator do not touch the roof.
The terminator cannot be reused. If
you unscrew the nut, you must dis-
card the terminator.
