YC500I-EU Microinverter Quick Installation Guide
Step 1. Verify the grid voltage to match with microinverter rating
Step 2. Position the AC bus cable and install the AC branch circuit junction box
a. Install an appropriate junction box at a suitable location on the PV racking system.
b. Put one end of the AC bus cable into the branch junction box.
c. Place cable connecting to the point of utility interconnection into the branch junction box.
d. Wire the conductors of the AC bus: L - BROWN; N - BLUE; PE - YELLOW GREEN.
NOTE: Wiring colour code can be different according local regulation, check all the wires of the
installation before connecting to the AC bus to be sure they match.Wrong cabling can damage
irreparably the microinverters, such an issue is not covered by the warranty.
Step 3. Attach the APsystems Microinverters to the racking or the PV module frame
NOTE:Do not place the inverters (including DC and AC connectors) where exposed to the sun, rai
n or snow, even gap between modules. Allow a minimum of 3/4’’(1.5cm.) between the roof and the
bottom of the Microinverter to allow proper air flow.

Bus Cable T-CONN Cap to protect the connectors.
Step 5. Install a Bus Cable End Cap at the end of AC bus cable
a. Strip cable jacket. c. Insert the wires into the cable clamps.
b. Insert the cable end into the seal. d. Rotate the nut with 3.3N·m until the
latching mechanism meets the base.
Step 6. Place the PV modules and connect each YC500I to the PV modules
Step 7. Complete the APsystems installation map
Each APsystems microinverter has two removable serial number labels. Peel labels off, affix one to the
respective location on the APsystems installation map, and affix another to the PV module frame such
that it is easily visible. Use the Scanning Gun to scan the serial numbers on the map into the computer or
scan by mobile phone, then complete the setting (see ECU manual).
