Section F - Operation
For grid-forming systems, apply the label on the
IQSystemController3/3G dead front (below the transparent
breaker position cover for mains breaker). Record the maximum
operating amps value on the label. The label is provided as part of
the IQSystemController Literature kit.
For grid-tied systems, apply the same label on the IQCombiner5
dead front (in one of the two recommended positions shown in the
image). Record the maximum operating amps value on the label. The
label is provided as part of the IQCombiner5/5C accessory kit.
