DANGER!
• Risk of serious injury and even death!
•  Before carrying out any photovoltaic field connection procedures, make sure the DC power switch is disconnected.

Use suitable cables for connection to the photovoltaic field. Size the cross-section of the wires in accordance with the maximum 
photovoltaic field short-circuit current and so as to minimise cable conduction losses. The DC connectors supplied allow PV1-F 
cables with a maximum cross-section of 6 mm

.

WARNING!
The DC connectors are polarised. Take care to perform wiring correctly, observing the polarities.

Figure 4.3.1-1 illustrates how to connect the positive pole of the photovoltaic field to the corresponding DC+ connector. The negative 
pole can be connected in the same way.

4.3.1. Connection procedure

1  Unscrew the cable gland for the relevant DC connector and run the cable (which should have been stripped at the end by approx. 

15 mm) through it.

2 Insert the cable into the connector as far as it will go.

3 Press the terminal downwards until it clicks into position.

4 Make sure the cable is fixed in position securely. The cable is properly secured if the wires can be seen inside the terminal chamber.

5 Push the screw connection onto the threading.

6 Screw on the cable gland.

7 Plug the connectors into the appropriate DC inputs on the inverter.
