Rapid Shutdown Kit - Installation and Configuration The rapid shutdown cables have a resistor connected to one end (on the red cable). Connect these ends to the switch,
making sure that the red and black cables are reversed relative to the cables connected at the top of the switch (going into

Perform this procedure before connecting the strings to the Safety Switch [Chapter 4: Connecting the AC and the Strings to the
Safety Switch in the SolarEdge Installation Guide].
1 Turn the inverter ON/OFF switch to OFF. If installing the kit in an inverter that is already operating, wait until the LCD
indicates that the DC voltage is safe (<50V), or wait five minutes before continuing to the next step.

3. Attach each power optimizer to the rack using M6 (1/4'') stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers or
other appropriate mounting hardware. A pply 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 methods2 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. Figure 6: Power optimizer installation and grounding using a grounding plate
AVERTISSEMENT! l For mounting on un-grounded structures (such as a wooden structure): If the star washer or

accepts a wire size of 6-14 AWG, and must be sized for equipment grounding per NEC 250.122
l For mounting on a grounded metal rail: Use the provided 5/16'' stainless steel grounding star requirements. Tighten the screws connecting the power optimizer to the frame and the
washer between the railing and the flat side of the mounting bracket. The grounding washer grounding terminal screw. Apply torque of 9.5 N*m / 7 lb*ft. See Figure 7
