Installation

Equipment Required

The following is a list of required tools and equipment to aid in the installation of the PV100S. This list is not a comprehensive list, but is intended to help identify the minimum recommended tools and equipment used during the installation.

•Forklift (26" minimum fork span) and/or pallet jack

•Claw hammer or pry bar

•Standard and metric socket set

•Standard and metric wrench set

•Standard Allen® Hex wrenches (5/16 and 7/16)

•Large slip-joint pliers

•Standard and Phillips screwdrivers

•Torque wrench with 0 - 600 in-lbs minimum range

•Appropriate voltage meter (600 Vac and DC rated, minimum)

•Phase rotation meter (600 Vac rated, minimum)

•Hammer drill and masonry bits

•Trade-size conduit knock-out set

Unloading

The PV100S is shipped partially assembled in two separate shipping crates and one cardboard box.

❐One crate is the main inverter and is marked "1-152311-01".

❐The other crate is the AC Interface Enclosure and transformer assembly and is marked "1-152378-01" (208 Vac) or "1-152324-01" (480 Vac).

❐The cardboard box contains one of the three remote connection kits:

•POTS Connection 1-152674-01,

•Wireless Connection 1-152659-01, or

•Ethernet Connection 1-152658-01.

WARNING: Heavy Equipment

The main inverter weighs approximately 1000 lbs. Both versions (208 Vac and 480 Vac) of the AC Interface Enclosure and transformer assembly weigh approximately 1400 lbs. Attempting to lift the equipment by other than the recommended lifting points may damage the equipment or present a personnel safety hazard and void the warranty. Keep all the doors closed and latched when moving the enclosures. Leaving the door latches unsecured may result in damage to the unit and void the warranty.
