Microinverter Instructions
Installing a replacement BDM-250
1. Attach the replacement BDM‐250 to the PV module racking using hardware recommended by
your module racking vendor. If you are using grounding washers (e.g., WEEB) to ground the chassis
of the BDM‐250, the old grounding washer should be discarded, and a new grounding washer must
be used when installing the replacement BDM‐250. Torque the BDM‐250 fasteners to the values
listed below: 1/4” mounting hardware – 45 in‐lbs minimum
5/16” mounting hardware – 80 in‐lbs minimum.
2. If you are using a grounding electrode conductor to ground the BDM‐250 chassis, attach the
grounding electrode conductor to the BDM‐250 ground clamp.
3. Connect the AC cable of the replacement BDM‐250 and the neighboring BDM‐250 to
complete the branch circuit connections.
4. Complete the connection map and connect the PV Modules.
1) Complete the connection map
2) Each BDM‐250 has a removable serial number located on the individual label. Enter the
unique address contained in part of this serial number into a BDG‐256, and correspond it to a
number in the connection map.
3) Connect the PV Modules
4) Completely install all BDM‐250 and all system inter‐wiring connections prior to installing the
PV modules.
a) Mount the PV modules above their corresponding BDM‐250. Each BDM‐250 comes with two
oppositely sexed DC connectors.
b) First connect the positive DC wire from the PV module to the positively marked DC connector
(male pin) of the BDM‐250. Then connect the negative DC wire from the PV module to the negatively
marked DC connector (female socket) of the BDM‐250. Repeat for all remaining PV modules using
one BDM‐250 for each module.
