WARNING: Risk of
equipment
damage.
Install the microinverter under the PV module to avoid direct exposure to rain, UV, and
other harmful weather events. Always install the microinverter bracket side up. Do not
mount the microinverter upside down. Do not expose the AC or DC connectors (on the
IQ Cable, PV module, or microinverter) to rain or condensation before the connectors
are mated.
The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV module must not exceed the specified
maximum input DC voltage of the Enphase microinverter. Refer to the Enphase
compatibility calculator at
https://enphase.com/en-ph/installers/microinverters/calculator to verify PV module
electrical compatibility with the microinverter. Use IQ8 Series Microinverters only with
compatible PV modules as per the Enphase compatibility calculator. Using an
electrically incompatible PV module voids Enphase warranty.
WARNING: Risk of
equipment
damage.
You must match the DC operating voltage range of the PV module with the allowable
input voltage range of the Enphase microinverter.
The Enphase microinverter is not protected from damage due to moisture trapped in
cabling systems. Never mate microinverters to cables that have been left disconnected
and exposed to wet conditions. This voids the Enphase warranty.
WARNING: Risk of
equipment
damage.
The Enphase microinverter functions only with a standard, compatible PV module with
appropriate fill factor, voltage, and current ratings. Unsupported devices include smart
PV modules, fuel cells, wind or water turbines, DC generators, non-Enphase batteries,
and so on. These devices do not behave like standard PV modules, so operation and
compliance are not guaranteed. These devices may also damage the Enphase
microinverter by exceeding its electrical rating, making the system potentially unsafe.
NOTES:
The Enphase microinverter has field-adjustable voltage and frequency trip points that
may need to be set, depending upon local requirements. Contact Enphase Support at
https://enphase.com/en-ph/contact for required modifications as per local
requirements.
NOTES:
Installers must check the manufacturing date of the products to ensure that the
installation date is within one year of the manufactured date of the products. Contact
your local distributor to validate the date code.
IQ Cable safety
DANGER: Risk of
electric shock.
Do not install the IQ Terminator while the power is connected.
WARNING: Risk of
electric shock. Risk
of fire.
When stripping the sheath from the IQ Cable, ensure the conductors are not
damaged. If the exposed wires
are damaged, the system may not function
properly.
Do not leave AC connectors on the IQ Cable uncovered for an extended period.
You must cover any unused connector with a sealing cap.
Ensure protective sealing caps have been installed on all the unused AC
connectors. Unused AC connectors are live when the system is energized.
WARNING
:
Use the terminator only once. If you open the terminator following installation, the
latching
mechanism is destroyed. If the latching mechanism is defective, do not
use
the terminator. Do not circumvent or manipulate the latching mechanism.
Secure any loose cable when installing the IQ Cable to minimize tripping hazards.
NOTE:
When
looping the IQ Cable, do not form loops smaller than 12 cm (4.75
″
) in
diameter.
Provide support for the IQ Cable every 1.8 m (6 feet).
If you need to remove a sealing cap, you must use the IQ Disconnect Tool.
