Establish a reference line from the reference point and measure the distances, angles, inclinations and
levels involved. Install the cabinet base after verifying all measurements. Please refer to the layout
diagram in the attached documentation for further details.
(1) Tolerance for distances measured from the reference line to the upper part of the cabinet base
is +0.5mm. The upper part of the cabinet base cannot be below the surface (reference line) in
cases where the cabinet base is embedded.

Instructions for DC cable installation

Punch the holes in the bottom plate for DC cable entries straight down from the connecting point at the terminal
so that the cables can be installed as straight as possible. If a pair of P and N cables enter from one place
together and connected to each terminal separately, the bent cables will apply stresses to the terminal plates
and may results in damages to the components. After the cables are installed, cover the gap in the entry hole
with flame-resistant putty, etc.
※ If there are any small openings between the bottom plate and enclosure, fill them too with putty, etc.
If there are openings, dust, moisture, small animals, etc. may enter from there.

If there are any small openings between the bottom plate and enclosure, fill them too with putty, etc.
※If there are openings, dust, moisture, small animals, etc. may enter from there. (Excluding the drain hole)
Be careful not to damage other components inside the unit when laying cables.
※ In particular, note that the items shown in the illustrations below are reported to be damaged sometimes due
to contact with cable lugs or other tools during connecting external cables.

13.3. Connection of the grounding electrode conductor
■ The inverter must be connected to ground
If not grounded, insulation degradation may cause current leakage, thus

posing a risk of electric shock.
DANGER Ensure a ground resistance less than 5Ω
■ Ground the inverter through the terminal marked “Grounding

Electrode Terminal”.
There is a risk of electric shock if the inverter is
not properly grounded
Grounding Electrode
Terminal
(1) Connection of equipment grounding conductor

The grounding terminal is located on the AC output section as shown in Fig. 12.5.
Connect this terminal to Ground
Grounding electrode conductor

should be over 3/0 AWG (85mm2)
for copper conductors and over
250MCM (127mm2) for aluminum or

14. Cleaning of the inside of the inverter and its surroundings

(1) Use a vacuum cleaner to clean inside the inverter and its surroundings to remove the remaining of the
packaging material, and wiring work.
(2) Collect all spare parts and accessories. Store all items properly under supervision.
(3) If the inverter will not be operated immediately after installation is completed, protect its openings with
plastic covers or equivalent means to protect dust from entering the cabinet.
15. Inspection after installation and wiring work

After cleaning up the surroundings, perform the following inspections, and record all findings.
(1) Verify that there are no paint damage or scratches on the inverter.
(2) Verify that all bolts and screws are tight and have the appropriate torque marks.
(3) Confirm that external cables and wires are connected according to the drawings.
(4) Verify that all desiccants and anticorrosives were removed from the inverter.
(5) Verify that there are no tools or materials left inside the inverter.
(6) Verify that the protective film on the top opening of the inverter is removed.
(7) Verify that the protective covers are properly installed in cabinets
(8) Verify that the packing material is removed from the external surface of the inverter.
■ After completing the installation and wiring work, make sure

DANGER that all protective covers are back in place
There is a risk of electric shock and injury if protective covers are

not installed.
