IQ8MC/IQ8AC/IQ8HC Installation and Operation Manual
When looping the IQ Cable, do not form loops smaller than 120 mm in
diameter.
Provide support for the IQ Cable every 300 mm.
If you need to remove IQ Sealing Cap, you must use the IQ Disconnect Tool.
When installing the IQ Cable and accessories, adhere to the following:
•
Do not expose the IQ Terminator cap or cable connections to
directed, pressurized liquid (water jets).
•
Do not expose the IQ Terminator or IQ Cable to continuous
immersion.
•
Do not expose the IQ Terminator cap or IQ Cable connections to
continuous tension (for example, tension due to pulling or bending
the cable near the connection).
•
Use only the compatible Enphase 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.
