CP-720 dBC MC4 & MTC CONNECTION PROCEDURE

STEP 1: DC CONNECTIONS

IPREV 4.16.20A

STEP 1: DC CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT:

 

ALWAYS

 

CONNECT

 

DC

 

FIRST.

 

DO

 

NOT

 

ENERGIZE

 

AC

 

BUS

 

TO

 

INVERTERS

 

UNTIL

 

ALL

 

INVERTERS

 

HAVE

 

BEEN

 

DC

 

POWERED

 

WITH

 

ENOUGH

 

SUN

 

LIGHT

(LEDs

 

blinking

  

continuously).

60/72

 

cell

 

modules:

 

Plug

 

each

 

panel

 

into

 

one

 

of

 

the

 

two

 

pairs

 

of

 

MC4

 

connectors

 

of

 

the

 

CP720.

 

Note:

 

The

 

pair

 

further

 

AWAY

 

from

 

the

 

LED

 

powers

 

the

 

electronics.

96/128

 

cell

 

modules:

 

Make

 

a

 

PARALLEL

 

connection

 

between

 

two

 

96

 

or

 

128

 

cell

 

modules

 

using

 

a

 

2

1

 

MC4

 

combining

 

adapter.

 

This

 

parallel

 

combination

 

should

 

be

 

plugged

 

into

 

the

 

FIRST

 

pair

 

of

 

MC4s

 

on

 

the

 

CP720

 

(furthest

 

from

 

the

 

LED).

 

The

 

second

 

pair

 

of

 

MC4s

 

connectors

 

on

 

the

 

CP720

 

should

 

be

 

connected

 

together

 

(shorted).

 

STEP 2: AC CONNECTOR – INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1)

Join

 

the

 

integrated

 

AC

 

cable

 

from

 

the

 

microinverter

 

to

 

a

 

trunk

 

cable

 

T

Junction.

NOTE:

 

The

 

connector

 

pins

 

should

 

easily

 

glide

 

into

 

the

 

socket.

 

A

 

small

 

click

 

indicates

 

that

 

the

 

connector

 

is

 

properly

 

seated.

IMPORTANT

:

 

do

 

not

 

try

 

to

 

force

 

in

 

the

 

connector!

 

Insertion

 

resistance

 

indicates

 

improper

 

orientation.

  

Rotate

 

the

 

connector

 

180

°

before

 

trying

 

again.
