IQ 7 / IQ 7+ / IQ 7X / IQ 7A Installation and Operation
Do not install the Enphase Q Cable terminator while power is connected.
When stripping the sheath from the Q Cable, make sure the conductors are not damaged. If the
exposed wires are damaged, the system may not function properly.
Do not leave AC connectors on the Q Cable uncovered for an extended period. You must cover any
unused connector with a sealing cap.
Make sure protective sealing caps have been installed on all unused AC connectors. Unused AC
connectors are live when the system is energized.
Use the terminator only once. If you open the terminator following installation, the latching
mechanism is destroyed. If the latching mechanism is defective, do not use the terminator. Do not
circumvent or manipulate the latching mechanism.
When installing the Enphase Q Cable, secure any loose cable to minimize tripping hazard.
When looping the Enphase Q Cable, do not form loops smaller than 4.75" (12 cm) in diameter.
Provide support for the Enphase Q-Cable every 1.8m (6 feet).
If you need to remove a sealing cap, you must use the Enphase disconnect tool.
When installing the Enphase Q Cable and accessories, adhere to the following:
•
Do not expose the terminator cap or cable connections to directed, pressurized liquid (water
jets, etc.).
•
Do not expose the terminator or cable to continuous immersion.
•
Do not expose the terminator cap or cable connections to continuous tension (e.g., tension due
to pulling or bending the cable near the connection).
•
Use only the connectors provided.
•
Do not allow contamination or debris in the connectors.
•
Use the terminator cap and cable connections only when all parts are present and intact.
•
Do not install or use in potentially explosive environments.
•
Do not allow the terminator to come into contact with open flame.
•
Fit the terminator cap using only the prescribed tools and in the prescribed manner.
•
Use the terminator to seal the conductor end of the Enphase Q Cable; no other method is
allowed.
