e.
Insert the positive and negative cables into the corre-
sponding positive and negative connectors, pull the DC
cable to make sure that the terminal is well connected
to the connector.
f.
Use an open-end wrench to screw the nut all the way in
and make sure that the terminal is sealed well, as shown
in Fig. 19:
Use the special wrenches for
MC4 connectors to ensure
that the correct tightening
torque is applied, without
damaging the connectors.

Before assembling the DC connector, make sure that the
cable has the correct polarity.
Warning
Use a multimeter to measure the DC input string
voltage, check the polarity of the DC input cable,

and make sure that the voltage of each string is
within the 600 V range.
See the "Input" section in Tab. 15.
