Step 7: Connect The Microinverters As You Install The Ac Modules; Step 8: Manage The Cabling - enphase IQ7 Installation And Operation Manual

Step 7: Connect the microinverters as you install the AC Modules

A. Check again that the AC Modules are not placing pressure on the microinverter. The minimum
distance from the top edge of the module to the rail should be about 30 cm (12 in).
B. As you install each AC Module, connect the IQ Cable to the microinverter. Listen for a click as the
connectors engage.
C. Cover any unused connectors on the AC cable with IQ Sealing Caps. Listen for a click as the sealing
caps engage.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. Install IQ 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.

Step 8: Manage the cabling

Use cable clips to attach the cable to the module frame. Leave no more than 1.8 m (six feet) between cable
clips.
Dress any excess cabling in loops so that it does not contact the roof. Do not form loops smaller than 12 cm
(4¾") in diameter.
WARNING: Tripping Hazard. Loose cables can become a tripping hazard. Dress the IQ Cable to
minimize this potential.
NOTE: Some modules do not include framing on their shortest side. Cable clips cannot attach to the
frameless side for cable management. Plan to use the longer, framed side for cable management when
this is the case.
