Installing AC Output Power Cables
4.3
•The ground point on the enclosure is preferred to connect to the PE cable for the SUN2000.
•The ground point in the maintenance compartment is mainly used for connecting to the ground
cable included in the multi-core AC power cable. For details, see section 4.3 "Installing AC
Output Power Cables."
1. The outdoor copper-core cable with a cross-sectional area of 16 mm2is recommended. The
ground cable must be secured.
2. It is recommended that ground cable of the SUN2000 be connected to the nearest ground point.
For a system with multiple SUN2000s connected in parallel, connect the ground points of all
SUN2000s to ensure equipotential connections to ground cables.
3. To enhance the corrosion resistance of the ground terminal, apply silica gel or paint on it after
connecting the ground cable.
NOTE
•If you connect a ground cable to the ground point on the chassis shell, you are recommended to
use a three-core outdoor copper-core cable with a cross-sectional area of 25 mm2as the AC
output power cable.
•If you connect a ground cable to the ground point in the maintenance compartment, you are
recommended to use a four-core outdoor copper-core cable with a cross-sectional area of 25
mm2as the AC output power cable.
•For more details about cable specifications, see the SUN2000-(50KTL, 50KTL-C1) User Manual.
•The AC OUTPUT 1 connector supports the cable with an outer diameter of 18 mm to 44 mm.
NOTE
1. Never open the host panel of the SUN2000.
2. Before opening the SUN2000 maintenance compartment door, turn off the downstream AC output
switch and the two bottom DC switches.

1. Remove the two security torx screws from the
maintenance compartment door using a security
torx wrench. (Set the two screws aside. Use the
idle ground screw on the chassis shell as the
standby screw, and the idle floating nut on the
chassis as the standby floating nut.)
2. Open the maintenance compartment door
and adjust the support bar. (The support bar
is bound to the chassis base.)
3. Remove the AC terminal cover.
4. Remove the locking cap from the AC OUTPUT 1 connector and then remove the plug.
5. Choose whether to use rubber fittings based on the cable outer diameter and select one or
more rubber fittings if required. Route the cable through the locking cap and then the
rubber fitting.
•Mismatch between the cable outer diameter
and the rubber fitting may degrade the Ingress
Protection Rating of the device.
•To avoid damaging the rubber fitting, do not
route a cable with a crimped OT terminal
directly through the rubber fitting.
•Do not adjust the cable when the locking cap
is tightened. Otherwise, the rubber fitting will
shift, which affects the Ingress Protection
Rating of the device.

7. Insert the exposed core wires into the crimping area of the OT terminal and crimp them using
hydraulic pliers.
8. Wrap the wire crimping area with heat shrink tubing or PVC insulation tape.
If heat shrink tubing is used, route the AC output power cable through the heat shrink tubing and
then crimp the OT terminal. Ensure that the area wrapped by the heat shrink tubing does not
exceed the crimping area of the OT terminal.
9. Route the AC output power cable through the AC OUTPUT 1 connector at the bottom of the
enclosure.
6. Remove an appropriate length of the jacket and insulation layer from the AC output power cable
using a wire stripper. (Ensure that the jacket is in the maintenance compartment.)
a. Three-core cable (excluding the ground cable) b. Four-core cable (including the ground cable)
JacketInsulation layerCore wire
10.Connect the AC output power cable to the AC terminal block, and then secure the connector
using a 13 mm socket wrench with an extension rod. If you connect a ground cable to the
ground point in the maintenance compartment, tighten the ground screw using a 10 mm socket
wrench with an extension rod.
a. Three-core cable (excluding
the ground cable) b. Four-core cable (including the ground cable)
•Ensure that the AC output power cable is connected securely. Otherwise, the SUN2000 may fail
to operate or experience a fault that will damage the terminal block. For example, the SUN2000
may generate heat during operation due to unreliable connection.
•If the SUN2000 is insecurely installed and the AC output power cable bears the pulling force,
ensure that the last cable bearing the force is the PE cable.
11.Use a torque wrench with an open end of 65 mm to tighten the locking cap to a torque of 7.5 N·m,
and seal the waterproof connector.

The SUN2000 provides two DC switches,
namely, DC SWITCH 1 and DC SWITCH 2.
DC SWITCH 1 controls the first to fourth
routes of DC input terminals, whereas DC
SWITCH 2 controls the fifth to eighth routes
of DC input terminals.
NOTE
•Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.
•Before inserting the positive and negative connectors respectively into the positive and negative
DC input terminals of the SUN2000, check that the DC voltage does not exceed 1100 V DC
using a multimeter and that the cables are connected correctly. Otherwise, the SUN2000 will be
damaged.
1. Use the positiveand negative metal contacts and DC connectors supplied withthe SUN2000. Using
other models of positive and negative metal contacts and DC connectors may result in serious
consequences. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty or serviceagreement.
2. The metal contacts supplied with the DC connectors are either coldforming contacts orstamping
forming contacts. Crimp the metal cold forming contacts using crimping tool UTXTC0005 (Amphenol,
recommended) or H4TC0001 (Amphenol). Crimp the metalstamping forming contacts usingcrimping
tool H4TC0003 (Amphenol, recommended) orH4TC0002 (Amphenol). Choose the crimping tools that
fit the metal contacts.
3. Before connecting DC input power cables, label the cable polarities to ensure correct cable
connections. If the cables are connected incorrectly, the SUN2000 may be damaged.
4. Insert the crimped metal contacts of the positive and negative power cables into the appropriate
positive and negative connectors. Then pull back the DC input power cables to ensure that they
are connected securely.
5. Connect the positive and negative connectors to the appropriate positive and negative DC input
terminals. Then pull back the DC input power cables to ensure that they are connected securely.
6. If the DC input power cable is reversely connected, do not operate the DC switches and positive
and negative connectors immediately. Otherwise, the SUN2000 will be damaged. The caused
equipment damage is beyond the warranty scope. Wait until the solar irradiance declines at night
and the PV string current reduces to below 0.5 A. Then, turn off the two DC switches, remove the
positive and negative connectors, and correct the polarity of the DC input power cable.

Installing RS485 Communications Cables
4.6
The DJYP2VP2-22 2x2x1 computer cable or a communications cable with a cross-sectional area
of 1 mm2and outer diameter of 14–18 mm is recommended.
1. When routing communications cables, separate communications cables from power cables to
prevent communication from being affected.
2. An RS485 cable can connect to either a terminal block or an RJ45 network port. It is
recommended that the RS485 cable connect to a terminal block.
Connecting to a terminal block (recommended)
1. Remove an appropriate length of the jacket and core wire insulation layer from the
communications cable using a wire stripper.
2. Remove the locking caps from the COM1 and COM2 connectors at the SUN2000 bottom and
then remove the plugs from the caps.
3. Route the communications cables through the locking caps, and then the COM1 (RS485 IN)
and COM2 (RS485 OUT) connectors at the SUN2000 bottom.
4. Remove the terminal base from the terminal block, and connect the communications cables to
the terminal base.

6Powering On the System
1. Turn on the AC switch between the SUN2000 and the power grid.
2. Ensure that the DC switches at the SUN2000 bottom are ON.
3. (Optional) Measure the temperatures at the joints between DC terminals and connectors using a
point-test thermometer.
Before turning on the AC switch between the SUN2000 and the power grid, use a multimeter to
check that the AC voltage is within the operating voltage range of the SUN2000.
4. Observe the indicators to check the SUN2000 operating status.
To ensure that the DC terminals are in good contact, check the temperatures at the joints between
DC terminals and connectors after the SUN2000 has been running for a period of time. Ensure
that the temperature rise does not exceed 40°C.
