DC Cable safety
NOTES:
8
•
Do not expose the IQ Terminator cap or IQ Cable connections to
continuous tension (e.g., tension due to pulling or bending the cable
near the connection).
•
Use only the compatible IQ connectors.
•
Do not allow contamination or debris in the connectors.
• Use the IQ 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 IQ Terminator to come into contact with an open flame.
• Fit the IQ Terminator cap using only the prescribed tools and in the
prescribed manner.
•
Use only the IQ Terminator to seal the conductor end of the IQ Cable; no
other method is allowed.
•
Ensure proper routing of PV module DC cable using the clips to prevent
the leads from resting on the roof. Do not wrap excess DC cable around
the microinverter.
•
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
•
Avoid sharp edges on racking.
•
Avoid cable contacting rough surfaces or moving parts within the
racking system.
•
Avoid overly tight bending radii. The minimum bend radii for the DC
cable is 8 X cable outer diameter.
•
Avoid overly tight-sized cable clips for routing.
