IQ8 / IQ8+ / IQ8M / IQ8A / IQ8H Micro Installation and Operation
You must match the DC operating voltage range of the PV module with the allowable input
voltage range of the Enphase Microinverter.
The Enphase Microinverter is not protected from damage due to moisture trapped in cabling
systems. Never mate microinverters to cables that have been left disconnected and
exposed to wet conditions. This voids the Enphase warranty.
The Enphase Microinverter functions only with a standard, compatible PV module with
appropriate fill-factor, voltage, and current ratings. Unsupported devices include smart PV
modules, fuel cells, wind or water turbines, DC generators, and non-Enphase batteries, etc.
These devices do not behave like standard PV modules, so operation and compliance are
not guaranteed. These devices may also damage the Enphase Microinverter by exceeding
its electrical rating, making the system potentially unsafe.
The Enphase Microinverter has adjustable voltage and frequency trip points that may need
to be set, depending upon local requirements. Contact
required modifications as per local requirements
Do not install the Enphase IQ Cable terminator while power is connected.
When stripping the sheath from the IQ 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 IQ 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 IQ Cable, secure any loose cable to minimize tripping hazard.
When looping the Enphase IQ Cable, do not form loops smaller than 4.75" (12 cm) in
diameter.
Provide support for the Enphase IQ-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 IQ 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 IQ Cable; no other
method is allowed.
