3.4.2 Connect PV side of inverter
WARNING
DO NOT connect the PV array positive or PV array negative cable to ground.
This can cause serious damage to the inverter!
WARNING
MAKE SURE the polarity of the PV array output conductors matches
the DC- and DC+ terminal labels before connecting these conductors
to the terminals of the inverter.
WARNING
Before connecting the inverter, make sure the PV array open circuit
voltage is within the limit of the inverter. Otherwise, the inverter could
be damaged.
WARNING
Please use the original DC MC4 terminals, otherwise the unqualified
DC connectors may cause damages to the inverter.

The steps to assemble the DC connectors are listed as follows:
1. Strip off the DC wire for about 7mm, Disassemble the connector cap nut.
3. Crimp the contact pin to the wire using a proper wire crimper.
2. Insert the wire into the connector cap nut and contact pin.
4. Insert metal connector into top of connector, and tighten nut with torque 3-4 Nm.
Please see table 3.1 for acceptable wire size for DC connections.Wire must be copper only.
5. Measure PV voltage of DC input with multimeter, verify DC input cable polarity
(see figure 3.22), and ensure each string voltage is in range of inverter operation.
Connect DC connector with inverter until hearing a slight clicking sound indicating
successful connection. (see figure 3.23)
