Ä While working wear clean gloves. Safety Factor During normal operation, a module may generate a greater current and / or higher voltage than that determined under standardized test conditions.
3 INSTALLATION 3.1 SAFETY AND TRANSPORT NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Never lift or move the module with the connection cables or junction box. Ä Carry modules upright and horizontally as shown. NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Do not drop modules. 3 INSTALLATION 3.2 PREPARATION OF INSTALLATION NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Never step on modules. Ä Do not subject modules to any mechanical stress. Ä Do not allow any objects to fall onto modules.
3 INSTALLATION 3.3 MODULE INSTALLATION Option 1: Ä Fasten the module with 4 clamps in the specified clamping range, see Fig. 2, p. 14. Ä Tighten clamps according to manufacturer’s instructions. 4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.1 SAFETY Ä Maintain an interval of at least 0.39 in (10 mm) between two modules along the short side and 0.20 in (5 mm) along the long side. n 0i ) 0.2mm (5 ) 0.39 in (10mm Option 2: Ä Install the module at the 4 mounting points, see Fig. 2, p. 14.
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SAFETY WARNING! Fire Risk! 4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.3 CONNECTION OF MODULES DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! Ä The body of the Enphase Microinverter is a heat sink. Under normal operating conditions, the temperature could be 20°C above ambient, but under extreme conditions the microinverter can reach a temperature of 90°C. To reduce risk of burns, use caution when working with microinverters.
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.4 AFTER INSTALLATION Ä Ensure that all necessary safety and functional tests have been carried out according to applicable standards. 5 NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Ensure that the plug connections are secured away from any water-channeling surface. GROUNDING Protective Grounding Option A: Use of a Grounding Lug In order to prevent electrical shock or fire, the frame of the module as well as any non-current-carrying metal parts of the system must be grounded.
5 GROUNDING 6 Option B: Grounding Methods Q CELLS modules can be bonded and grounded with a racking system certified to UL 2703 for Bonding and Grounding that has been evaluated and listed as compatible with Q CELLS modules. In such cases the entire system can be appropriately bonded and grounded when installed per the racking systems instructions with appropriate system grounding.
9 APPENDIX Installation and Operation Manual Important Safety Information Installation and Operation Manual IQ 7+ Microinverter Safety Instructions Read this First General Safety To install AC Modules (solar panels), read and follow all warnings and instructions in this guide. Safety precautions are listed at the back of this guide. DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire.
Installation and Operation Manual Enphase Q Cable and Accessory Safety DANGER: Risk of electric shock. WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. Installation and Operation Manual PV Rapid Shutdown Equipment (PVRSE) This product is UL Listed as PV Rapid Shut Down Equipment and conforms with NEC-2014 and NEC-2017 section 690.12 and C22.
Installation and Operation Manual Installation and Operation Manual Step 1: Install a Junction Box Enphase Microinverter Installation A. Verify that AC voltage at the site is within range. Installing the Enphase IQ7+ Microinverter for ACM involves several key steps. Each step listed here is detailed in the following pages.
Installation and Operation Manual Step 3: Terminate the Unused End of the Cable Installation and Operation Manual Step 4: Prepare the AC Modules Place sealing caps on unused connectors and terminate the unused end of the Enphase Q Cable. A. Cover any unused connectors with Enphase Sealing Caps. Listen for a click as the connectors engage. A. Before installing the AC module, the microinverters must be lifted from the shipping position.
Installation and Operation Manual Step 5: Mount the ACMs Installation and Operation Manual Step 8. Ground the ACMs You can use clamps or module mounting holes to mount the modules on the installation or you can use an embedded system. If using an alternative mounting solution, contact to be sure that is covered by the warranty. Refer to the mounting options on pages 14 and 15 for more information. A. Install the ACM with a clearance of at least 10 cm (4 in.) from the roof.
Installation and Operation Manual Step 9: Energize the System Installation and Operation Manual Step 10: Set Up and Activate Monitoring A. If applicable, turn ON the AC disconnect or circuit breaker for the branch circuit. B. Turn ON the main utility-grid AC circuit breaker. Your system starts producing power after a fiveminute wait time. C.
Installation and Operation Manual Troubleshooting Follow all the safety measures described throughout this manual. Qualified personnel can use the following troubleshooting steps if the PV system does not operate correctly. WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not attempt to repair the Enphase Microinverter; it contains no user-serviceable parts. If it fails, contact Enphase customer service to obtain an RMA (return merchandise authorization) number and start the replacement process.
Installation and Operation Manual Installation and Operation Manual L. Following the steps in Remove and Replace a Microinverter, remove the PV panel from the roof, and swap out the microinverter with one from a known good, adjacent AC module. If after checking Enlighten periodically (this may take up to 30 minutes), the problem moves to the adjacent module, this indicates that the PV module isn’t functioning correctly. If it stays in place, the problem is with the original microinverter.
Installation and Operation Manual Installation and Operation Manual L. On the ground, use the Installer Toolkit mobile app to delete the old microinverter serial number from the Enphase IQ Envoy database. In Installer Toolkit, once connected to the Envoy: a. Tap Micros > Manage. b. Tap the checkbox c. Tap to the right of the microinverter serial number that you replaced. to delete the microinverter from the Envoy-S database. M.
Installation and Operation Manual Grid Interconnection Details Installation and Operation Manual Sample Wiring Diagram: Enphase IQ 7 Microinverters are grid support interactive inverters.
