5.1. Mounting: Indoor/outdoor use, IP54 enclosure
A. Prior to mounting the EdgeIQ onto a wall, select which side of the circular knockout to remove from
your chosen cable entry for the unit. To remove the knockouts, remove the junction cover assembly
as shown and carefully punch each circular knockout while supporting the EdgeIQ case on a flat rigid
surface as shown.
B. Choose a dry and clean wall (clear of any other devices) with composition that can support the
weight of the unit (10kg), making sure there is sufficient clearance for the conduit connections from
the bottom for an upright position. The EdgeIQ is best located in a cooler location e.g. Garage,
under an eave or a south facing wall. Like inverters, the EdgeIQ performs best out of direct solar
radiation and away from other heat sources. Enclosure area is 588.3 x 324.0 x 92 mm.
C. Position and drill four holes, 8mm diameter on wall or structure and install the mounting screws.
(See Diagram 1: Installing mounting screws).

D. On solar installations only: Connect the CT wire assembly to its biased terminal block and then install

13
E D G E I Q H A N D B O O K
the CT clamp around the AC wire that supplies the solar inverter on the installation. This is to monitor
the output of the solar inverter.
E. Install the modem into the USB socket. (Refer to Section 6. Communication Kit Installation for
instructions).
Note: Unlike active and neutral conductors, only one Earth wire is required for the EdgeIQ. Both may
be used if required as the two visible Earth terminals are electrically connected/bonded inside the unit.
If only using one Earth Terminal, ensure the screw is tightened on the terminal that is not in use.
Diagram 3: Wiring for Standard install, for switchboard main breaker 40/63A, see wiring diagram
section 4.1 and 4.2 on page 13 and 14.
Note: For a Non-Standard install, for switchboard main breaker of 80/100A, appropriate wire sizing
should be installed in accordance to AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3008.
5.3. Conduit fitting
A. Select correct size gland or conduit adapter to the EdgeIQ. It is recommended:
For standard install of 16mm2 wire: Clipsal 263/32 conduit adapters with locking ring (in place of
the supplied glands)
(As an alternative, the nylon glands supplied with the unit will fit the existing knockout hole on the
EdgeIQ while allowing the 25mm conduit through the gland).
B. Use a nylon push rod (or similar) to help run the cables into the conduit.
C. Feed the cables with the nylon rod through the conduit.
D. Release the nylon push rod and fasten gland nut or conduit adaptor locking ring onto the conduit.
E. Run the wires into the EdgeIQ unit through the connector and then tighten the conduit socket
ensuring the gland gasket is installed correctly and the gland is not threaded.
F. The EdgeIQ must be installed after the main switch through a circuit breaker or fuse and must be
wired in accordance to current AS/NZS 3000:2007(Electrical Installation – Wiring Rules) and
AS/NZS 3008 (Electrical Installations – Selection of Cables)
All neutral wiring corresponds to
the size of the active conductor

5.4. Power connection to main switchboard
A. Ensure the main isolator is OFF to completely isolate the EdgeIQ Unit.
Important: Each incoming power supply, along with any additional grid tie/solar power/battery and
any other embedded generator source on the electrical installation MUST each be safely isolated
before commencing the electrical wiring work
B. Replicate the connection per the wiring diagram relevant to your installation. See Wiring Diagram
4 or Wiring Diagram 5 in section 4.1 and 4.2 below. Your relevant wiring diagram is based on
whether your site has or does not have solar.
C. Locate the supply main switch (must be circuit breaker style) in the switchboard. Use the power
wires in the conduit to connect to switchboard circuit breaker.
Note: The circuit breaker can be installed immediately after the main switch to avoid a network
disconnection / reconnection in regions that require the network or authorised contractor to isolate
the supply.
D. Connect an earth wire from the unit to the main earth bar connection in the switchboard.
E. Check all mechanical wiring connections are secure and making full contact. Ensure the output
neutral connections are as per your relevant wiring diagram.
WARNING: Do NOT install EdgeIQ on installations with three phase OR two phase supply as this can
UNBALANCE the voltages and cause damage to the installation or appliances on the installation. Three
phase Edge IQ is available with a 3 phase adaptor, please contact [e-mail]
for further support.
