Tyco Solarlok plug-in connection system
The Solarlok plug-in connection system is used for
the simple, reliable connection of individual solar
generators up to the Solar Inverter.
Components
The following connectors are used:
· Positively coded connector
· Negatively coded connector
· Neutral connector
The neutral connector can be used to connect both
positively and negatively coded sockets.
Installation
Extreme danger from electric shock!
· Touching live parts can result in death.
· All electrical work must be conducted by a quali-
fied electrician while observing the VDE regula-
tions, national and other regulations!
· Tyco Solarlok connectors are only reliable for
connection on permanently installed lines.
· Only the Tyco-Solarlok hand crimping pliers may
be used to crimp the connectors.
· During preassembly, the connectors must be
separated from all other voltage sources.
· The connectors may not be separated while
under load. The circuit must be opened at a suit-
able point for this purpose.
· Provide the lines with corresponding stickers as
close as possible to the connectors to prevent
confusion.
· Any kind of soiling (dust, moisture, etc.) has a
negative effect on the connector system with
regard to function over the intended period of
use. This particularly applies to the suitability for
use of the seals and the crimping of the con-
tacts. Therefore, extreme care must be taken to
achieve proper processing during assembly.
· Various circular contacts are used for different
conductor cross-sections with the Tyco Solar-
lok connectors. The correct tool insert must be
used in accordance with this cross-section. The
included Tyco Solarlok connectors are equipped
with circular contacts for a cable cross-section of
4 mm² to 6 mm².
· The seals and clamping baskets used in the
preassembled connectors are approved for cable
sheath diameters from 4.5 mm to 6.9 mm. Special
seals and clamping baskets must be used for
cables with a sheath diameter greater than
6.9 mm.
· The Tyco Solarlok hand crimping pliers can be
purchased from your sales partner.
