Option 1:
Ä
Fasten the module with 4 clamps in the specified
clamping range, see Fig. 2, p. 14.
Ä
Tighten clamps according to manufacturer’s
instructions.
Ä
Maintain an interval of at least 0.39 in (10 mm)
between two modules along the short side and
0.20 in (5 mm) along the long side.
NOTE! Module damage may occur!
Ä
Do not subject modules to mechanical tension.
Max. torsion 0.12 in/ft (10 mm/m).
Option 2:
Ä
Install the module at the 4 mounting points,
see Fig. 2, p. 14.
Ä
Tighten screws according to manufacturer’s
instructions.
Option 3:
Ä
Install the module using mounting profiles,
see Fig. 2, p. 14.
3 INSTALLATION
3.3 MODULE INSTALLATION
NOTE! The Enphase Microinverter Installation
Manual can be found in the appendix.
Installing the Enphase IQ Microinverter involves
several key steps. Each step is listed in detail,
please see pages 28-46.
DANGER!
Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
When disconnecting an electric circuit carrying direct current,
electric arcs can occur that may result in life-threatening injuries.
Ä
Do NOT unplug the cable when under load.
Ä
Do NOT connect any exposed cable ends.
Ä
Electrical work may only be performed by qualified and skilled
personnel (see page 3).
A solar module generates electrical current and voltage even
at a low intensity of illumination. Sparks and electric arcs may
result from the separation of a closed circuit. These can result
in life-threatening injuries. The danger increases when several
modules are connected in series.
Ä
Be aware that the entire open circuit voltage is active even at
low levels of solar irradiation.
Ä
Follow the valid national regulations and safety guidelines for
the installation of electrical devices and systems.
Ä
Make sure to take all necessary safety precautions. With mod-
ule or phase voltages of more than 120 V, the safety extra-low
voltage range is exceeded.
Ä
Carry out work on the inverter and the wiring with extreme
caution.
Ä
Ensure that the modules are disconnected at the inverter prior
to separation.
Ä
Be sure to observe the time intervals specified by Enphase.
Ä
Make sure that the plugs cannot be connected unintentionally.
Ä
Before working on the contacts, check them for safety extra-
low voltage.
Ä
Do not exceed the maximum number of microinverters in an AC
branch circuit as listed in the manual. You must protect each
microinverter AC branch circuit with a 20 A maximum breaker
or fuse as appropriate.
Ä
Do not connect Enphase Microinverters to the grid or energize
the AC circuit(s) until you have completed all of the installation
procedures and have received approval from the electrical
utility company.
Ä
When the PV array is exposed to light, DC voltage is supplied
to the power conversion equipment (PCE).
Ä
The AC and DC connectors on the cabling are rated as a
disconnect only when used with an Enphase Microinverter.
Ä
The Enphase Microinverter is not protected from damage due to
moisture trapped in cabling systems. Never mate microinverters
to cables that have been left disconnected and exposed to wet
conditions. This will void Enphase's warranty.
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
Ä
Never open the junction box.
Ä
Do not remove bypass diodes.
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
Ä
Never touch live contacts with bare hands.
Ä
Cover connectors by suitable protective caps until
installation.
Ä
The DC conductors of this photovoltaic system are
ungrounded and may be energized.
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
Ä
Only use dry, insulated tools for electrical work.
