A. Peel the removable serial number label from each microinverter and affix it to the respective location
on the paper installation map.
B. Peel the label from the IQ Gateway and any IQ Battery (if installed) and affix it to the installation map.
C. Always keep a copy of the installation map for your records.

Step 5: Manage the cabling

A. Use cable clips or tie wraps to attach the cable to the racking. The IQ Cable must be supported at
least every 300 mm.
B. Dress any excess cabling in loops so that it does not contact the roof. Do not form loops smaller
than 120 mm in diameter.
WARNING: Dress the excess IQ Cable to avoid the risk of cable insulation abrasion against the roof
surface.

Step 6: Connect the microinverters

A. Connect the IQ Cable to the microinverter. Listen for a click as the connectors engage.
B. Seal any unused connector on the IQ Cable with IQ Sealing Cap. Listen for a click as 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. IQ Sealing Caps are required for
protection against moisture ingress.
NOTE: If you need to remove an IQ Sealing Cap, you must use the IQ Disconnect Tool.
