Enphase Q Aggregator Safety Instructions
General Safety
DANGER: Risk of
electric shock.
Do not use Enphase equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer. Doing so may cause
death or injury to persons, or damage to equipment.
Be aware that installation of this equipment includes risk of electric shock. Do not open without first
removing AC power from the Enphase System. Disconnect the power coming from the
photovoltaics before servicing or installing.
Improper servicing of the Q Aggregator or its components may result in a shock, fire or explosion.
To reduce these risks, disconnect all wiring before attempting any maintenance.
Some tasks are done with live circuits in an outdoor rooftop environment. Always wear proper
personal protective equipment for electrical and rooftop tasks.
DANGER: Risk of
electric shock.
Risk of fire.
Before making any connections, verify that the circuit breakers are in the off position. Double check
all wiring before applying power.
Only use electrical system components approved for wet locations, including but not limited to
conduit fittings.
Only qualified personnel should install, troubleshoot, or replace the Enphase Q Aggregator
Use the circuit in the Enphase Q Aggregator only for connecting Enphase Q Cable and
Microinverters. No other loads / sources are allowed.
Protect the Q Aggregator with a 60 A maximum over current protection device (OCPD).
Do not attempt to repair the Enphase Q Aggregator, other than to replace the fuse and/or
connection board as documented in the installation guide. Tampering with the board or damaging
the conformal coating will void the warranty.
Make sure the conductors are not damaged. If the exposed wires are damaged, the system may not
function properly.
WARNING: Risk
of skin burn
The Enphase Q Aggregator may have very hot interior surfaces. To reduce risk of burns, use
caution when working with the Q Aggregator.
WARNING:
Install the Q Aggregator under the PV module to avoid direct exposure to rain, UV, and other
harmful weather events; mount the Q Aggregator off of the roof surface for rain and snow
resistance; and always install the Q Aggregator with the lid side up. Do not mount it upside down.
Risk of equipment damage. This product is intended for operation in an environment having a
maximum ambient temperature of 55° C (131° F).
Before installing or using the Enphase Q Aggregator, read all instructions and cautionary markings
in the technical description, on the Enphase System, and on the photovoltaic (PV) equipment.
NOTES:
For problems other than a blown fuse or installation damage, contact Enphase customer service to
obtain a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number and start the replacement process.
Install the Q Aggregator in the field with 75° C or 90° C copper conductors sized per local code
requirements and voltage drop/rise considerations.
Using unapproved attachments or accessories may result in damage or injury.
Use Class 1 wiring methods for field wiring connections to terminals of a Class 2 circuit. Use only 14
to 4 gauge wire. Select the wire gauge used based on the protection provided by the circuit
breakers/fuses. Overcurrent protection must be installed as part of the system installation.
