Mounting the SMA E-Panel to the wall:
This section describes the general instructions for installing components to the wall or other mounting surface. When
you have completed this section then refer to the appropriate section for your model for specific instructions on
wiring and wiring diagrams.
Pre-Wired systems start on Page 13.
Note:
The SMA E-Panel system should only be installed with the backplate. Failure to use the backplate can result in
poor alignment of system components resulting in a less reliable and non-code compliant installation.
Tools Required:
Long #2 Phillips Screwdriver
Medium slotted Screwdriver
Torque Screwdriver for electrical connections
9/16” Wrench
Large Allen wrench for inverter DC connections
Drill for pilot holes if required
Be sure to comply with all local and national code requirements including National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Use Class 1 wiring methods for field wiring connections to terminals of a Class 2 circuit. Select the wire gauge used
based on the protection provided by the circuit breakers/fuses.
The SMA E-Panel is a type 1 enclosure suitable for installation in an indoor location protected from rain / snow etc.
When installing the system make sure to observe NEC maximum height requirements.
The system when complete will be quite heavy. Ensure that the wall can handle the weight of the system
and use appropriate fasteners. Have help when positioning and mounting system components to the wall.
Mise en garde! Cet appareil est assez lourd. S’assurer que le mur peut supporter le système. C’est nécessaire
d’avoir assistance pour installer le système.
High voltage is present throughout the system. Disconnect all sources of power and exercise extreme
caution when working with, on or around this equipment.
Attention: Il y a haute tension partout. Débrancher toutes les sources d’alimentation et faire attention autour
de le système. Lire aussi le manuel de l’inverter pour plus des informations.
Install the backplate either MNESMA tall BP or MNESMA short BP to the selected surface using a minimum of four
5/16 lag bolts with a minimum length of 2”.
The inverter should be installed before the E-Panel. Use ¼-20 bolts to attach the inverter mounting bracket, E-Panel
and MNX240 (if so equipped) to the backplate. The MNX240 requires the tall backplate.
