Microinverter Instructions
● Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance may void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
4. INSTALLATION
WARNING: BE AWARE THAT INSTALLATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT INCLUDES RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. NORMALLY
GROUNDED CONDUCTORS MAY BE UNGROUNDED AND ENERGIZED WHEN A GROUND FAULT IS INDICATED.
Parts Included
In addition to the micro inverters, PV modules, racking, and associated hardware, you’ll need the BDM‐250
installation kit. This kit includes the following items:
● Protective end cap
● Mounting Bracket (adapter plate)
● AC interconnect cable and protective end CAP
Other Parts and Tools Required
In addition to your PV array and its associated hardware, you will need the following parts:
● Junction box
● Continuous grounding conductor, grounding washers
● Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
● Sockets, wrenches for mounting hardware
● Torque wrench
● Mounting hardware suitable for module racking
Lightning Surge Suppression
Lightning does not actually need to strike the equipment or building where PV system is installed to cause
damage. Often, a strike nearby will induce voltage spikes in the electrical grid that can damage equipment.
BDM‐250 has integrated surge protection, greater than most string inverters. However, if the surge has
sufficient energy, the protection built into the BDM‐250 can be exceeded, and the equipment can be
damaged.
Since the NEP Limited Warranty does not cover “acts of God” such as lightning strikes, and since lightning
strikes can occur anywhere, it is best practice to install surge protection as part of any solar installation.
Installation of surge protection devices should follow vendor instructions.
Installation Procedure
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT BDM‐250 TO THE UTILITY GRID OR ENERGIZE THE AC CIRCUIT(S) UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED
ALL OF THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS.
