Step 3: Terminate the Unused End of the Cable

Place sealing caps on unused connectors and terminate the unused end of the Enphase Q Cable as
follows.
A. Cover any unused connectors with Enphase Sealing Caps. Listen for a click as the connectors
engage.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. Install sealing caps on all unused AC
connectors as these connectors become live when the system is energized. Sealing caps
are required for protection against moisture ingress.
NOTE: If you need to remove a sealing cap, you must use the Enphase Disconnect Tool.
See "Remove and Replace a Microinverter" on page 26.
B. Remove 13 mm (½ inch) of the cable sheath from the conductors. Use the terminator loop to
measure 13 mm.
C. Slide the hex nut onto the cable. There is a grommet inside of the hex nut that should remain in
place.
D. Insert the cable into the terminator body so that each of the two wires land on opposite sides of
the internal separator.
E. Insert a screwdriver into the slot on the top of the terminator to hold it in place and torque the nut
to 7 Nm.
F. Hold the terminator body stationary with the screwdriver and turn only the hex nut to prevent
conductors from twisting out of the separator.
