All cables are routed through the openings on the bottom side of the device (see next illustration) and
connected to the appropriate terminals on the Sunny Island.
Use conduits to install the cables on the DC side and on the AC side on the Sunny Island. Conduits
ensure the dust-tight and water-tight mounting of a cable on the enclosure and also serve as a strain
relief of the cable at the terminal. Close all unused openings in the enclosure using the appropriate
filler plugs.
Use the provided terminals to connect the cables inside the Sunny Island enclosure in a manner
conforming to the appropriate standards.
Obtain an overview of the different devices and connection areas of the Sunny Island
