Safety Precautions:

Products must be assembled and installed by qualified personal, insuring all safety regulations

are followed. For protection against electric shock, please insure the system is not energized

during installation. Do not disconnect under load. Insure that the AC and the DC sides are both

disconnected and the system is not energized before disconnecting.

Use only the tools and components listed in this installation man_ual. Follow the directions as

stated in this manual. Do not alter or willingly damage the product in any way.

 Sealing cap must be used on disconnected connectors to prevent dust and water ingress.

 Units are rated for IP68 water protection when mated.

 Do no place connector directly on roof surface.

 Do not allow direct contact with hydrocarbon, phenol, ketone ammonia or other plastic

corrosive environments or materials. Do not grease or lubricate the connector during

installation.

All Required tools are included in the T4 toolkit:

Connector assembly steps:

INSTALLATION MANUAL TLIAN is a subsidiary of Canadian Solar

1. Positive connector appearance check

a. Seal ring should fit cleanly in the slot, not warped
or distorted.
b. The two plastic clasps should be intact.
c. Positive and negative connectors should not be
obstructed by foreign objects or water.
d. Plastic components should not be cracked.
e. Wire must not appear damaged.

2. Negative connector appearance check

a. Negative connector should not be obstructed by
foreign objects or water.
b. Plastic components should not be cracked.
c. Wire must not appear damaged.

3. Connection
To connect, attach the positive and negative
connectors to each other, until you hear a “click.”
Once connected, gently pull on them to insure a
secure connection.

4. Check connection
To check the connection, insure that you cannot
see the seal ring. The gap between the connectors
should be less than 0.5mm.

Wire Assembly steps:

INSTALLATION MANUAL TLIAN is a subsidiary of Canadian Solar

5. Strip the insulation off the cable

Using the wire stripping tool, remove the
insulation from the cable. Insure that 7.5mm of
cable are exposed, and that the wire strands are
not damaged during the process of stripping the
insulation.

6. Crimp the contact

Place the connector pin around the bare section
of the stripped wire. Crimp the connector pin
using the wire crimping tool. The crimped
connector should withstand pull forces ≥310N.

7. Insert the connector pin

Push the crimped connector pin into the
connector back until you hear a click. Pull lightly
on the wire to insure the metal components of the
connector are engaged.

8. Tighten the cable gland

First, finger tighten the gland, then use the
disconnect tools to tighten the gland to the
connector until it clicks, insuring that it is locked.

9. Make connection
INSTALLATION MANUAL TLIAN is a subsidiary of Canadian Solar

Check the appearance of the connectors before

attaching them to one another. The seal ring
should be in the slot with no warping or
distortion. The plastic clasps should not be
damaged or broken. The connectors should be
free of moisture or foreign objects. Plastic parts
should not be cracked. Wire should not be frayed
or damaged. When attaching, insert the
connectors into each other until you hear a “click.”
Once attached, gently pull on the connectors to
insure they are firmly connected and cannot be
easily disconnected by hand.

10. Disconnect
The attachment can only be disconnected by
using the disconnect tools.
