Unpacking
When storing the packaged inverters, keep them in an area where they will not get damaged or flooded. Storage
temperatures should be maintained in the range -40°F to +167°F (-40°C to +75°C). Open the box carefully to
avoid damaging the contents.

Installation
Installation Procedure
1. Remove the inverter from its crate and properly dispose of the packaging material.
2. Secure the inverter to the structure, carefully observing the lifting hazard notice below.
Lifting Heavy Object Hazard
Proper lifting technique must be used in order to avoid injuries.
Lift into place with at least two people or using a mechanical aid.
3. Turn OFF the upstream AC breaker and apply a lock.
4. Turn OFF the AC switch on the inverter. The AC switch actuates AC contactors (load-break rated).
5. Turn OFF the DC switch on the inverter. The DC switch is load-break rated.
6. Remove the wiring box cover.
7. Confirm that the PV Output Circuit conductors (from a PV Combiner) are de-energized.
8. Connect the AC wires from the grid to the AC terminal block in the wiring box.
9. Connect the PV Output Circuit wires (from one or two PV Combiners) to the DC terminals in the wiring
compartment.
10. Connect the communication wires.
11. Secure the inverter cover.
12. Connect the antenna to the inverter using the 90-degree coaxial connection.
