1.
Ensure that all power is off, the Listed external disconnect switch is in the off position, and that the following wires are properly
identified with polarity and/or ground marks:
• Cable from the PV array to the external DC disconnect switch.
• Cable from the external DC disconnect to the Fhoton™ Drive.
• Ground wire, insulated, green or green with yellow stripe.
2. Connect the cables from the external DC disconnect to the "Solar Primary DC" terminal block. Connect conductor marked + to
+ terminal, conductor marked – to – terminal, and green ground conductor to "GND" terminal (see Figure 4). Tighten terminal
block screws to 15 in-lbs. ( 1.7 N-m) torque. Use Copper Conductors Only. Use cables rated 75 °C only.
CAUTION
Connect the DC input of the Fhoton™ Drive only to a Photovoltaic (PV) solar array using a Listed disconnect switch.
