2. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION.
2.1. POSITIONING THE DEVICE
If you are installing the optional ESM3T EQX energy meter, we recommend installing the inverter as near to the electrical connection
as possible, in order to avoid extending the RS485 communications cable.
Angle and spacing of the installation: Make sure the device is installed on a vertical surface and that the following minimum safety
distances are maintained with regard to other elements, in order to ensure optimum ventilation:

3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION.
3.1. DC (DIRECT CURRENT) INSTALLATION
Make sure the inverter’s isolator switch is in the OFF
position.
Make sure the protection systems in the junction box are
activated and that there is no voltage in the cables you are
going to handle.
DC
Connecting the solar park cables:
Material required:
1. Unscrew the MC4 connectors (supplied) and prepare the cables coming from the junction box of the solar park:
2. Pass the cables through the screw caps, crowns and rubber seals, as shown below. Then crimp the metal terminals to the cables.
To ensure an optimum
connection, use an
approved tool to
crimp the terminals.

3. Insert the metal terminals into the MC4 connectors, until you hear a click. Once this is done, pull gently on the cable to make sure
it is correctly attached.
4. Screw the cap onto the body of each connector, making sure all of the elements fit together perfectly and that the rubber seals seal
the cable with the connector:
Use the special spanners for
MC4 connectors in order to
ensure optimum tightening
without damaging the
connectors.
5. Check the polarity and voltage of the photovoltaic panels before connecting them to the inverter, in line with the
values shown in the following table:
Specifications Inverter model
EQX 5000-2T EQX 8000-2T EQX 10000-2T
Maximum DC input power (W) 5500 8800 11000
Maximum DC input voltage (VDC) 900 1000
Operating range (VDC) 200-800
MPPT range (VDC) 260-800 350-800 400-800
MPPT trackers / inputs per MPPT 2/1
Max. input current per MPPT x no. of MPPTs 10 A x 2 12 A x 2 12,5 A x 2
Max. short-circuit current per MPPT (Isc PV) x no. of MPPTs 11 A x 2 13 A x 2 14 A x 2

6. Connect the cables to the inverter in accordance with the following connection diagrams:
Connection process for facilities with solar parks of varying power (panels with different orientations
and/or strings of different lengths):
If the facility’s solar panels are not on the same level, i.e. they are exposed to different levels of radiation (whether due to the shape of
the roof, differences in inclination, or different string lengths), the connection process must be carried out as follows:
The devices allow for a maximum solar power imbalance of 40%-60%.
Connection process for facilities with a single solar park (i.e. panels with the same orientation and strings of the
same length):

10 SALICRU
For facilities where all of the power is in the same solar park, the power must be distributed between the two tracks, joining both
inverter inputs as shown in the diagram below:
This configuration requires modification of the “Adjust Model” parameter on the device. Refer to the section titled “Changing
the MPPT Model” (Page 17).
Strings that can be connected to each MPPT, depending on the device model:
Model String / MPPT
EQX 5000-2T 1/2
EQX 8000-2T 1/2
EQX 10000-2T 1/2
3.2. AC (ALTERNATING CURRENT) INSTALLATION
Make sure the protection systems in the junction box are activated and that there is no voltage in the cables you are going to
handle.
If you are installing the optional ESM3T EQX energy meter, we recommend installing the inverter as near to the electrical connection
as possible, in order to avoid extending the RS485 communications cable.
