•
For vertical mount, also maintain >30 cm (12") clearance from the edges of the PV
module to protect the microinverter from direct exposure to rain, UV, and other
harmful weather events.
WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. Mount the microinverter under the PV module.
•
Install the microinverter under the PV module to avoid direct exposure to rain, UV, and
other harmful weather events.
•
Always install the microinverter bracket side up.
•
Do not mount the microinverter upside down.
•
Do not expose the AC or DC connectors (on the IQ Cable connection, PV module, or
microinverter) to rain or condensation before the connectors are mated.
C. Torque the mounting fasteners to the values shown. Do not over-torque.
•
6 mm (1/4") mounting hardware: 5 N m (45 to 50 in-lb)
•
8 mm (5/16") mounting hardware: 9 N m (80 to 85 in-lb)
•
When using UL 2703 mounting hardware, use the manufacturer's recommended
torque value.
D. If you are using bonding hardware, the old bonding hardware should be discarded, and new
bonding hardware must be used when installing the replacement microinverter.
E. Connect the microinverter to the IQ Cable connector. Listen for a click as connectors
engage.
F. Connect the DC leads of each PV module to the DC input connector of the microinverter.
G. Re-mount the PV module above the microinverter.
H. Energize the AC branch circuit breaker and verify the operation of the replacement
microinverter by checking the Status LED on the connector side of the microinverter.
I.
Use the Enphase Installer App to delete the old microinverter serial number from the
IQ Gateway database. In the Enphase Installer App, once connected to the IQ Gateway:
a. Tap Devices & Array > IQ Microinverters & Array > IQ Microinverter Serial
Number.
b. Tap RETIRE to retire the old microinverter serial number from the IQ Gateway
database.
c. Add the new microinverter serial number to the gateway database by scanning the
barcode using the Enphase Installer App and your device camera.
d. Tap Devices & Array > IQ Microinverters & Array > ADD DEVICES. Scan the
IQ8P Microinverter's barcode and assign it to the array.
OR
e. Go to Service > Request return and install replacement > Install Replacement.
Enter the original device serial number and replacement device serial number and
submit.
J. Start the provisioning process for the newly added microinverter using the Enphase Installer
App and by connecting the Enphase Installer App to IQ Gateway in AP mode. You can then
"Start Provisioning Devices" through the Enphase Installer App.
K. Ship the old microinverter to Enphase using the supplied return shipping label.
