NOTES
To ensure optimal reliability and to meet warranty requirements, install the Enphase equipment
according to the instructions in this manual.
The AC and DC connectors on the cabling are rated as a disconnect only when used with an Solaria
PowerXT
®
-R-AC Module.
Protection against lightning and resulting voltage surge must be in accordance with local standards.
Perform all electrical installations in accordance with all applicable local electrical codes, such as: the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1; ANSI requirements; and NPFA 70 (NEC).
MICROINVERTER SAFETY
WARNING:
Risk of skin
burn.
The body of the Enphase Microinverter is the 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.
WARNING:
Risk of
electric
shock.
Risk of re.
Only qualied personnel may connect the Solaria PowerXT
®
-R-AC Module to the utility grid.
Do not attempt to repair the Enphase Microinverter; it contains no user-serviceable parts. If it fails,
contact Enphase customer service to obtain a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number and
start the replacement process. Tampering with or opening the Enphase Microinverter will void the
warranty.
WARNING:
Risk of
equipment
damage.
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.
NOTES
The Enphase Microinverter has eld-adjustable voltage and frequency trip points that may need to be
set, depending upon local requirements. Only an authorized installer with the permission and following
requirements of the local electrical authorities should make these adjustments.
ENPHASE Q CABLE AND ACCESSORY SAFETY
DANGER:
Risk of
electric
shock.
Do not install the Enphase Q Cable terminator while power is connected.
WARNING:
Risk of
electric
shock.
Risk of re.
When stripping the sheath from the Q Cable, make sure the conductors are not damaged. If the exposed
wires are damaged, the system may not function properly.
Do not leave AC connectors on the Q Cable uncovered for an extended period. You must cover any
unused connector with a sealing cap.
Make sure protective sealing caps have been installed on all 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.
When installing the Enphase Q Cable, secure any loose cable to minimize tripping hazard.
When looping the Enphase Q Cable, do not form loops smaller than 4.75” (12 cm) in diameter.
If you need to remove a sealing cap, you must use the Enphase disconnect tool.
