When installing the QD Cable and accessories, adhere to the following:
• Do not expose the QD Terminator cap or cable connections to directed,
pressurized liquid (water jets, etc.).
• Do not expose the QD Terminator or QD Cable to continuous immersion.
• Do not expose the QD Terminator cap or QD Cable connections to continuous
tension (e.g., tension due to pulling or bending the cable near the connection).
• Use only compatible QD connectors.
• Do not allow contamination or debris in the connectors.
• Use the QD Terminator cap and cable connections only when all parts are
present and intact.
• Do not install or use in potentially explosive environments.
• Do not allow the QD Terminator to come into contact with an open flame.
• Fit the QD Terminator cap using only the prescribed tools and in the prescribed
manner.
• Use only the QD Terminator to seal the conductor end of the QD Cable; no
other method is allowed.
DC Cable safety
NOTES:
Ensure proper routing of PV module DC cable using the clips to prevent the
leads from resting on the roof. Do not wrap excess DC cable around the
microinverter.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
• Avoid sharp edges on racking.
• Avoid cable contacting rough surfaces or moving parts within the racking
system.
• Avoid overly tight bending radii. The minimum bend radii for the DC cable is 8
times cable outer diameter.
Avoid overly tight-sized cable clips for routing.
