Ä

Use solar cables for the connection at the junction 
box outlet.

 

Ä

Only interconnect connectors of the same type 
and manufacturer.

 

Ä

Use minimum No. 12 AWG copper wires insulated 
for a minimum of 90 °C for field connections.

NOTE! Module damage may occur!

 

Ä

Ensure that the cabling is not under mechanical stress 
(Comply with bending radius of ≥ 2.36 in (60 mm)).

 

Ä

Ensure that the cables do not run between module 
and mounting rail or structure (danger of pinch).

 

Ä

Position the wiring on the solar modules that 
additional shading is avoided.

 

Ä

Ensure for a tight connection between the plugs. 
Plugs click together audibly.

Ä

Ensure that all necessary safety and functional 
tests have been carried out according to 
applicable standards.

NOTE! Module damage may occur!

 

Ä

Ensure that the plug connections are secured away 
from any water-channelling surface. 

 

Ä

Integrate the system into the existing lightening 
protection system in accordance with the 
applicable local regulations.

WARNING! Fire Risk!

 

Ä

Do not use light concentrators (e.g. mirrors or 
lenses).

 

Ä

Ensure that the cabling is not exposed and / or 
hanging and is protected from dirt, moisture and 
mechanical friction.
