5. Pull the DC wires from the DC disconnect through the conduit into the interior of the
SB3800U.
6. Connect the positive DC wire to the terminal labeled DC+ in the SB3800U.
7. Connect the negative DC wire to the terminal labeled DC– in the SB3800U.
Note:
The SB3800U has provisions for up to two PV strings.

or to make any connections anywhere in the PV system.
Wire nuts are a frequent cause of unreliable connections,
resistive connections, and ground faults.
8. Connect the positive and negative DC wires to the appropriate terminals in the DC
disconnect enclosure.
