Installation in close proximity to the AC distribution panel may eliminate the need for a • supplemental AC service disconnect. Consult local inspectors or the NEC for details. The passive cooling system in the Pika X3001 will work best when the inverter is mounted on a • flat, smooth, vertical wall. - Page 13 Figure 1 Pika X3001 Dimensions...
- Page 14 Figure 2 Inverter Minimum Clearance Mounting surface must be suitable for installing #10 (~M5) pan head screws (suitable for tightening with screwdriver). These screws can be installed in wood, metal, or masonry. If screw anchors are used (e.g. concrete expansion anchor), they must be rated to hold the 11 kg (25 lb) inverter with appropriate safety factor.
- Page 15 Figure 4 Mounting Screw Diagram Use the included mounting template to accurately mark and drill holes for installing the X3001. Install two of the included screws into mounting surface 345.8 mm (13.6 in.) apart as shown in Figure 4. Leave a minimum of a 3 mm gap between the head of the screw and the mounting surface to accept the enclosure foot.

Page 16: Electrical Connection Notes
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, always connect the inverter to a dedicated 15A (or 20A) 2- pole circuit breaker without multiwire branch circuits. The X3001 Inverter is equipped with concentric electrical knockouts suitable for ½ or ¾” conduit fittings. Pika Energy recommends the use of conduit fittings (hubs)which are raintight or wet location hubs that comply with the requirements in the Standard for Fittings for Conduit and Outlet Boxes, UL 514B. -
Page 17: Ac Utility Connection
2–pole circuit breaker is required for each inverter. An AC service disconnect may be required by local codes or the NEC. Multiple X3001 units can be used at the same location/facility assuming all codes are followed including NEC, local building codes and area utility guidelines. If multiple units are used, each inverter should have its own dedicated circuit breaker. -

Figure 5 Wiring Diagram 6.6 Wiring the inverter 1. Open inverter cover by hinging up, position the kickstand on the right side to catch and support the lid. 2. Remove electrical conduit knockouts, either ½” or ¾”, on the side or bottom surface of inverter. Install electrical conduit. - Page 19 Lower the T701 to ground and secure blades from spinning. Confirm with a voltmeter that the REbus™ is below 50 VDC before performing any wiring operations. 4. Run wires from AC distribution panel to inverter, connect to terminals (reference Figure 5 for wiring locations), torque to 2.1 Nm (18.5 in-lb) WARNING : Before wiring the DC (REbus™) side of the inverter, ensure all...
