Step 7 - Terminate The Unused End Of The Trunk And Drop Cable - Siemens SMIINV215R60XX Installation And Operation Manual

Step 7 – Terminate the unused end of the Trunk and Drop Cable
You must terminate the far end of the Trunk and Drop cable.
a. Remove 60mm (2.5 inches) of the outer jacket of the cable end.
b. Take the screw-on gland portion of the cable terminator and run the cable end
through it.
c. Take the wire holder and run the cable end through it.
d. Bend the individual wires back into the recesses
in the wire holder so that they angle back toward
the cable.
e. Cut the individual wires so that no excess
extends outside of the wire holder. The portion
that angles back will need to extend enough to
fit neatly into the 0.5 cm (0.2 in) slot in the wire
holder and flush with the edge of the cap.
f. Insert the wire holder into the cap, and screw
the gland portion onto the cap. Ensure that the gland portion is rotating, not the
cap.
g. Hold the cap with an Siemens disconnect tool, or insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Hold the gland portion with a 24 mm (7/8") wrench. Tighten the gland portion until the
ratcheting feature on the cap bottoms out.
h. Attach the terminated cable end to the racking using a clip or tie wraps so that the
Trunk and Drop Cable and terminator do not touch the roof.
i. Ensure that all cabling is located underneath the PV module.
