NOTE: The control cable required for IQ Battery 5P, IQ Combiner
5/5C and IQ System Controller 3/3G must be compliant with
UL 3003, UL 1277, and UL 83 standards. Enphase has validated
performance using the Enphase control cable. Enphase cannot
guarantee performance when a third-party control cable is used.
Scenario A: IQ System Controller is the terminal node for the
wired control network. Use control cable of length 40 inches +
conduit length and use termination resistor provided with Lit Kit.
CTRL header positions can be interchanged based on the system
setup.
Scenario B: IQ System Controller is not the terminal node
for the wired control network. Use control cable of length
40 inches + conduit length on each side.
Connect drain wire to the drain terminal only at one end
of a CTRL cable. Do not connect drain wires at both ends
of a CTRL cable.
Control cable to be stripped to recommended dimensions and
