1. Determinethepoweroptimizermountinglocationandusethepoweroptimizer
mountingbracketstoattachthepoweroptimizertothesupportstructure(See
Figure2).Forframe-mountedpoweroptimizersfollowtheinstructionssupplied
withtheoptimizers,orreferto
https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/installing_frame_mounted_power_
optimizers.pdf.
2.
Ifrequired,markthemountingholelocationsanddrillthehole.
CAUTION!
Do not drill through the power optimizer or through the mounting holes. The drilling vibrations can
damage the power optimizer and will void the warranty.
Ne pas percer à travers la optimiseur de puissance ou ses trous de fixation. Les vibrations qui en
résulteraient peuvent endommager la optimiseur de puissance.
3.
AttacheachpoweroptimizertotherackusingtheM6(1/4'')stainlesssteelbolts,nutsandwashersor
otherappropriatemountinghardware.Applytorqueof9.5N*m/7lb*ft.
For3NAseriespoweroptimizes,SolarEdgerecommendsmountingthepoweroptimizeronarailwith
thesmoothsidefacingout,sothatthepoweroptimizerbodywillpreventitsrotation.
4.
Usethefollowingmethods

togroundthepoweroptimizer:
WARNING!
The metallic enclosure of the power optimizer must be grounded in accordance with the
requirements of the local and national codes.
L'enceinte métallique de l’optimiseur de puissance doit être mise à la terre en accord avec les

These methods have been evaluated by a nationally recognized testing laboratory as part of the optimizer evaluation.
The SolarEdge-supplied grounding lug kit has been evaluated only for use with SolarEdge power optimizers. It is not
intended or listed to be used as a general purpose grounding lug with other electrical equipment.
