Enphase Qd Cable Safety - enphase IQ8D-72-E-US Design Manual

only with compatible PV modules as per Enphase compatibility
calculator. Using electrically incompatible PV module voids
Enphase warranty.
WARNING: Risk of equipment damage
You must match the DC operating voltage range of the PV
module with the allowable input voltage range of the Enphase
Microinverter. Refer to the module compatibility section in "IQ8D
System Components and design considerations".
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.
WARNING: Risk of equipment damage
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 DC coupled
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.
NOTES:
The Enphase Microinverter has adjustable voltage and frequency
trip points that may need to be adjusted within grid profile setting
depending upon local requirements. Contact
service to request a new custom grid profile if there is no pre-
existing grid profile meeting local AHJ requirements

ENPHASE QD CABLE SAFETY

Do not install the Enphase QD Cable terminator while power is
connected.
When stripping the sheath from the QD 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 QD 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 QD Cable, secure any loose cable to
minimize tripping hazard.
Do not leave DC connectors of Microinverter uncovered for an
extended period during installation. You must cover DC connectors
with a sealing cap. IQ8D Microinverter has Enphase EN4 bulkhead
for DC connection and bulkhead adapter cable for EN4 to Staubli
MC4 connection.
When looping the Enphase QD Cable, do not form loops smaller
than 9.2 cm (3.6 inches) in diameter.
Provide support for the Enphase ; QD Cable every 1.8 m (6 feet).
If you need to remove a sealing cap, you must use the Enphase
disconnect tool.
When installing the Enphase QD 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 QD
Cable; no other method is allowed.
