Sealing Caps: PV-BVK4 32.0716, PV-SVK4 32.0717
Product Intended Use
The PV DC connection cable is assembled on one or both sides with MC4 or MC4-Evo 2, for installation or prepared for further assembly.
Requirements for Personnel
Only an electrician or electrically instructed person may assemble, install, and commission the system.
Required Tools
PV-MS-PLS Assembly and unlocking tool, 1 set = 2 pcs Order No 326058 or Open- end spanner set PV-MS, Order No 326024
Product Usage Instruction
Safety Instructions
NOT following the assembly and safety instructions could result in life- threatening injuries due to electric shock, electric arcs,fire, or failure of the system.
Mating and Disconnecting
To mate the cable coupler, connect the MC4/MC4-Evo 2 connectors until a
“click” can be heard. Check correct engagement by lightly pulling on the
connector (maximum pulling force: 20 N). Do not modify or repair the
component. Assembly of not fully engaged
connectors is not permitted as this could lead to a permanent deflection of
clips and thus to a potential loss of the locking function. The engaged
connector locking function has to be verified.
To disconnect, use PV-MS-PLS/2 or PV-MS.
Notes on Installation
Cable routing should be done with a minimum distance of 20 mm.If connectors are contaminated or damaged, they should not be used. Mechanical stress should be avoided during installation.

Notes on installation
General notes on installation
- Unmated connectors must be protected from environmental impact (moisture, dirt, dust, etc.) with sealing caps (socket PV-BVK4, order No. 32.0716; plug PV-SVK4, order No. 32.0717).
- Do not mate contaminated connectors.
- Connectors must not come into contact with any chemicals.
Cable routing
- Cable management must allow a minimum of 20 mm of cable that exits straight from the cable seal without bending or stress. Refer to cable manufacturer specification for minimum bending radius.
- In particular, the application notes according to Annex A of IEC 62930 must be observed.
Contaminated/damaged connectors:
- Do not allow connectors to be contaminated by the environment (e.g. soil, water, insects, dust).
- Do not allow the connector to be contaminated on its surface (e.g. stickers, paint, heat shrink tubing).
- Do not allow that the connector is directly on the roofing surface.
- Do not allow that the connector is at the lowest point of cabling where water can collect.
- Do not allow that the connector is in standing water.
- Do not allow cable ties to be mounted directly on the connector body.
Mechanical stress:
- Check that the connectors are not subjected to a permanent mechanical tensile load or vibration.
- Connectors shall not be under strain from cable management.
