MNPV6 Disco / -250 / AC Disco Installation Instructions Cont. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - These instructions contain important safety and operating instructions for the MidNite Solar MNPV6 Disco and MNPV6-250 Disco solar combiner boxes. If you do not fully understand any of the concepts, terminology, or hazards outlined in these instructions, please refer installation to a qualified dealer, electrician or installer.
MNPV6 Disco / -250 / AC Disco Installation Instructions Cont. Installation The installation of a PV combiner is fairly straight forward. Select the location to install your combiner first. Some systems have the PV modules located close to the inverters and or battery system. If this is the case, you can elect to mount the MNPV6 Disco / MNPV6-250 Disco inside and run each PV string down to the MNPV6 Disco / MNPV6-250 Disco inside the house. This is convenient for trouble shooting and upgrading.
MNPV6 Disco / -250 / AC Disco Installation Instructions Cont. Handle Installation To avoid possible damage to the combiner parts it is important to follow these instructions carefully. 1. 2. 3. 4. Turn off breakers. Move handle to the off position. Orient the grabber as shown. Close cover. Do not use force. Grabber With the breakers and the handle in the Off position, place the grabber into the opening In the handle where shown (Photo right and image on slider).
MNPV6 Disco / -250 / AC Disco Installation Instructions Cont. Circuit breaker selection. When selecting breakers for use with the MidNite combiners, first check with the PV manufacturer to determine the proper “series fuse”. The term fuse is used even though you are probably using breakers. This is a carryover from UL terminology. MidNite Solar offers PV combiner breakers rated at 150VDC, 300VDC and 240 VAC. 150V DC breakers come in these amperage ratings.
MNPV6 Disco / -250 / AC Disco Installation Instructions Cont. another combiner. Combiners can also be combined for additional power, so if more modules are added later, you can simply add an additional combiner. When putting three 24 V modules in series you must pay attention to VOC during cold spells so that you do not over voltage the controller. MidNite Solar breakers are rated for 150 and 300VDC. This configuration works very well especially when the array is far away from the battery bank.

Prewired MNPV2 & 4 Installation Instructions (continued) Installation Note: The plastic dead front fits very tight. You must first remove the lid in order to remove the deadfront. To remove the deadfront: Pry off the lid as shown using something like a screwdriver as a lever. The dead front then lifts out easily. The installation of a PV combiner is fairly straight forward. Select the location to install your combiner first. Some systems have the PV modules located close to the inverters.
Prewired MNPV2 & 4 Installation Instructions (continued) The diagram to the right shows typical connections for the MNPV4 combiner. The MNPV2 is the same except that it combines fewer strings. Note that items inside the dashed lines are external to the combiner. The solar panel connectors are all factory pre-wired leaving only the combined plus and minus as well as the ground connections to be completed at installation. Solar panels and wire size: The MNPV2 & 4 are rated for up to 600 VDC.
