OPT700/OPT700L Installation/User Manual
APsystems Optimizer System Installation
A PV system using APsystems optimizers is simple to install. Each
optimizer easily mounts on the PV racking directly beneath
the PV module(s) or the module frame. Low-voltage DC wires
connect from the PV module directly to the optimizer, eliminating
the risk of a high-voltage DC charge.
Installation MUST comply with local regulations and technical rules.
WARNING: Perform all electrical installations in accordance
with local codes.
WARNING:Be aware that only qualified professionals should
install and/or replace the APsystems optimizer..
WARNING: Before installing or using an APsystems optimizer,
please read all instructions and warnings in the technical
documents and on the inverter system itself as well as on the PV
array.
WARNING: Be aware that installation of this equipment
includes the risk of electric shock.
WARNING: Do not touch any live parts in the system, including
the PV array, when the system has been connected to the electrical
grid.
WARNING: Ensure the solar module and inverter has been
disconnected before installing an APsystems optimizer.
Additional installation components from APsystems
DC extension cable (sold separately)
Required parts and tools to complete the installation
In addition to your PV array and its associated hardware, you will need
the following items:
Mounting hardware suitable for module racking
A torque wrench and a Phillips screwdriver
WARNING: Be sure to verify the voltage and current specifications
of your PV module match with those of the optimizer.
WARNING: You must match the DC operating voltage range of
the PV module with the allowable input voltage range of the
APsystems optimizer.
WARNING: The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV module
must not exceed the specified maximum input voltage of the APsystems
optimizer.
