1. Use the positive and negative metal contacts and DC connectors supplied with the SUN2000. 
Using other models of positive and negative metal contacts and DC connectors may result in 
serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty or service 
agreement.
2. The metal contacts supplied with the DC connectors are either cold forming contacts or stamping 
forming contacts. Crimp the metal cold forming contacts using crimping tool H4TC0001 
(Amphenol). Crimp the metal stamping forming contacts using crimping tool H4TC0002 
(Amphenol). Choose the crimping tools that fit the metal contact types. Do not mix up the tools.
3. Before connecting DC input power cables, mark the polarities on the cables to ensure that 
the cables are connected correctly. If the cables are connected incorrectly, the device may 
be damaged.
4. Insert the crimped metal terminals of the positive and negative power cables into the 
appropriate positive and negative connectors. Then pull the DC input power cables to ensure 
that they are connected securely.
5. Connect the positive and negative connectors to the appropriate positive and negative DC 
input terminals. Then pull the DC input power cables to ensure that they are connected 
securely.
6. If the DC input power cables are reversely connected and the DC SWITCH is ON, do not turn 
off the DC SWITCH immediately. Otherwise, the inverter may be damaged and the damage 
is beyond the warranty scope. Wait until the PV string voltage reduces to the safety range 
(below 60 V DC). Then, turn off the DC SWITCH, remove the positive and negative 
connectors, and rectify the connection.
