DC Cable safety
NOTES:
9
When installing the QD Cable and accessories, adhere to the following:
•
Do not expose the QD Terminator cap or cable connections to directed,
pressurized liquid (water jets, etc.).
•
Do not expose the QD Terminator or QD Cable to continuous immersion.
•
Do not expose the QD Terminator cap or QD Cable connections to continuous
tension (e.g., tension due to pulling or bending the cable near the connection).
•
Use only compatible QD connectors.
•
Do not allow contamination or debris in the connectors.
•
Use the QD 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 QD Terminator to come into contact with an open flame.
•
Fit the QD Terminator cap using only the prescribed tools and in the prescribed
manner.
•
Use only the QD Terminator to seal the conductor end of the QD 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
times cable outer diameter.
•
Avoid overly tight-sized cable clips for routing.
