Inverter Installation
Please make sure the inverter will be installed with a proper distance as shown below.
Step 1: Fix the bracket on the wall
Choose the place you want to install the inverter. Place the bracket on the
wall and mark the position of the 2 holes from bracket.
Drill holes with electric drill, make sure the holes are at least 50mm deep, and then tighten the expansion tubes.
Insert the expansion tubes into the holes and tighten them. Install the bracket with the expansion screws.
Step 2: Match the inverter with wall bracket
Hang the inverter over the bracket, slightly lower the inverter, and make sure
the two mounting grooves on the back are properly fixed with the two bracket
bars.

DC Wiring
-
Turn off the DC switch.
-
Choose 12 AWG wire to connect the PV module.
-
Trim 6mm of insulation from the wire end.
-
Separate the DC connector as below. Plug Pin contact cable nut
-
Insert striped cable into pin contact and ensure all conductor strands are captured in the pin contact.
-
Crimp pin contact by using a crimping plier. Put the pin contact with striped cable into the corresponding crimping pliers and crimp the contact.
