Step 6: Mount The Acms; Step 7: Connect The Microinverters As You Install The Acms - enphase IQ 7 Installation And Operation Manual

Step 6: Mount the ACMs

A. Install the ACM with a clearance of at least 10 cm (4 in.) from the roof. Also, make sure that the
microinverter on the underside of the ACM is at least 1.9 cm (0.75 in.) away from the roof or
installation surface.
B. Do not place the ACMs in such a way that places pressure on the microinverter. Minimum
distance from the top edge of the module to the rail should be about 30 cm (12 in.).
C. Make sure that the minimum gap between modules is 10 mm (0.4 in.) or greater.
D. Check that rails and clamps are clear of the microinverter by at least 3.8 cm (1.5 in.). Do not
obstruct module drain holes.

Step 7: Connect the Microinverters as you Install the ACMs

A. Check again that the ACMs are not placing pressure on the microinverter. Minimum distance from
the top edge of the module to the rail should be about 30 cm (12 in.).
B. As you install each ACM, connect the Q Cable to the microinverter. Listen for a click as the
connectors engage.
C. Cover any unused connectors on the AC cable with Enphase Sealing Caps. Listen for a click as
the sealing caps 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.
