Manage The Cabling; Terminate The Unused End Of The Cable - Panasonic HIT VBHN340SA17E General Installation Manual

MANAGE THE CABLING


Use cable clips to attach the cable to
the PV module frame. Leave no
more than 1.8 m (six feet) between
cable clips. (See Figure 12)

Dress any excess cabling in loops so
that it does not come into contact
with the roof. Do not form loops
smaller than 12 cm (4¾ inch) in
diameter.

Tripping Hazard. Loose cables can
become a tripping hazard. Dress the
Enphase Q Cable to minimize this
potential.
TERMINATE THE UNUSED END
OF THE CABLE

Terminate the unused end of the
Enphase Q Cable (See Figure 13).

Remove 13 mm (½ inch) of the ca-
ble sheath from the conductors. Use
the terminator loop to measure 13
mm.

Slide the hex nut onto the cable.
There is a grommet inside of the hex
nut that should remain in place.

Insert the cable into the terminator
body so that each of the two wires
land on opposite sides of the inter-
nal separator.

Insert a screwdriver into the slot on
top of the terminator to hold it in
place, and use a 27 mm wrench or
channel lock pliers to tighten the
hex nut to 7 Nm.

Hold the terminator body stationary
with the screwdriver and turn only
the hex nut to prevent the conduc-
tors from twisting out of the separa-
tor.

separator.
Attach the terminated cable end to
the PV racking with a cable clip or
tie wrap so that the cable and termi-
nator do not touch the roof.
The terminator cannot be reused. If
you unscrew the nut, you must dis-
card the terminator.
