Installation Space
The installation space of single inverter is as following:
≥500mm
≥300mm
≥500mm
≥300mm
≥1000mm
When installing multiple string inverters in a same
surface, the side by side installation is recommended.

step.
4.Electrical Connections
DANGER
1. When connecting cables, do not operate live and follow the
relevant requirements in the Inverter's Manual.
2. Before connecting the cable, please complete the following
preparations so as not to cause bodily injury.
1) Disconnect the inverter DC switch. Ensure that the
inverter is in shutdown state and attach warning signs.
2) Confirm the positive and negative pole of the input
cable and mark it well. Make sure the connection
between input cable and PV cluster is broken.
3) It is confirmed that the open circuit voltage of PV
cluster does not exceed the specified limit.
4) Confirm that the corresponding AC box circuit breaker
is in a state of disconnection.
3. When connecting the input cable, ensure that the positive
and negative poles of the input cable correspond to the
positive and negative poles of the PV terminals of the series
inverter.
Cable Selection
Name
Recommended Cable Specifications
PV branch input cable
Industry general PV cable, model:
PV1-F
It is recommended to use a cable with a
cross-section of 4.0 mm2for each PV+
and PV- branch.

Name
Recommended Cable Specifications
AC output cable
4 core outdoor cable (A, B, C, N) or 3
core outdoor cable (A, B, C)
Recommended cross sectional area of
conductor (copper):70 mm2
RS485 communication
cable
It is recommended to use a special
communication cable or 4-core or 2-core
shielded twisted pair cable with a
cross-sectional area of not less than
0.75 mm2.
PE ground cable
It is recommended to use at least one
grounded dedicated cable with a
cross-sectional area of 35 mm2.
Note:
①The AC output has only 1 waterproof locks with a
specification of 65mm~70mm. When the screw is locked, use
the sleeve to calibration.
②The RS485 communication cable has only one waterproof
lock and the size is 18mm~25mm.
Output side cable connection
1. Crimping the OT terminal. Users need to prepare
the OT terminals themselves. The OT terminal
model of PE is M6, and the model ofAC is M10.
1) Strip the front end of the cable core.

Cable LL+(2~3)mm
2) Put on the heat shrink tubing and OT terminal.
Heat shrink tubing
3) Crimp the OT terminal.
4) Move the heat shrink tubing forward to cover
the seam.
5) Use a dryer to heat the sleeve to make it tight.
2. Ground connection:
Note: The ground cable must be reliably connected to the
grounding bar.
3. DC output cable connection：
1) Remove the lower door by 4# Allen wrench.
2) Tear off the AC output protective film and
install the waterproof lock.
Put in the
waterproof
lock parts
and screw
them
together
3) Screw off the locking cap of the AC output
waterproof lock.
4) The AC cables are connected to A, B, C and
N of theAC terminal row in turn, and the
fastening torque is 8N*m. Fasten the locking
cap after completion.

PV Input Cable Connection
1. Crimp MC4 terminal:
1) Confirm the positive and negative terminals of
the input cable and mark them.
Note: Please do not judge by the color of the cable
only, be sure to refer to the actual measurement.
2) Stripping with a wire stripper;

4) Insert the core into the male and female ends
of the MC4 connector and tighten the
connector back cover according to the correct
polarity.

2. Remove the sealing plugs of the input terminals at
the bottom of the inverter. Connect the positive
and negative terminals of each input cable to the
PV+ and PV- input terminals of the inverter one by
one. Insert it until you hear a "click".
3. If there are unconnected input terminals, please
confirm that the unconnected input terminals
remain sealed by the plug.
RS485 Communication Cable Connection
The RS485 interface and anti-backflow interface
are located on the bottom of the machine. The
8-pin terminal is for RS485 network and the 4-pin
terminal is for the anti-backflow function.
1. Crimp the 485 terminal. Users need to prepare the
terminals themselves, and the terminals model
needs to match the 485 cable selected.(The 8-Pin
terminal needs to match GTVE10008 terminal.）
1) Strip the front end of the cable core.

2) Insert the terminal and crimp.
2. Take out the connector from accessories and
loosen the shell of the connector.
3. Pass the cables through the shell
