Product Line Specifications
The myPV CommsSafe product line is available in three (3) options of power supply that
are determined by the customer auxiliary power availability. The CommsSafe covers all
networking aggregation and options for monitoring. A standard set of options may be
added to configure the standard product to meet the individual Customer requirements.

Design Considerations
Failing to plan is planning to fail. Although the myPV CommsSafe is very simple to
design for and incorporate into your project design, there are aspects of the equipment
that should be considered in the initial design to avoid unnecessary costs and difficulties
during construction.
Installation Location
The installation location for the myPV CommsSafe is easy to locate on the solar site. A
concrete pad with a standard unistrut is built on site during initial construction - and is
designed to be the installation location for the myPV CommsSafe.
The auxiliary power available from the site will be either 120 volt AC or 480 volt 3 phase
power. In the event that AUX power is not always available - the 1.5kV DC is an option
for powering up off of the array. Further details are provided in our Quick Start Guide.
Design Considerations
Orientation and Clearances
While the myPV CommsSafe is very compact - appropriate electrical, service, and door
swing clearances should be considered prior to determining final pad dimensions and
placement of conduit entry points. Ideally, your CommsSafe front facing swing door
panel will face north-west, away from the sun. The front facing panel door opens right to
left. Allow for full clearance to open the 24x24 in (61x61 cm) door.
All myPV CommsSafe mechanical drawings provide recommended electrical
termination cabinet conduit locations and dimensions for open door swings.

Electrical Isolation/AUX Power
There is a fuse disconnect between the auxiliary power terminated by the EPC and the
control cabinet. The CommsSafe is able to run on battery backup for 45 minutes in the
event that auxiliary power is lost. Note, the battery back up time out is adjustable.
The three phase power or 120V power should be terminated in the bottom left of the
cabinet. Refer to
the Quick Start Guide for more information.
All three power supply levels of the myPV CommsSafe are rated for a control panel
SCCR level of 10KA.
Instrument Installation
Several instruments are offered and configured to best suit your monitoring needs. Wind
Sensors, POA, GHI, Albedometer, Dust IQ, Soiling, BOM, RTD BOM, and Ambient
sensors are all available to meet the needs of your project.

Whip installation is easy - our whips come pre-terminated; however in the event
that they are not or you need to do some troubleshooting, follow these steps.
1. Separate the different wire colors in the whip - to make sure you can see them
all in front of you.
2. Line up the appropriate wire with the terminal block.
a. There is a color coded system for our whips.
i. The brown wire connects to the 24V +
ii. The white wire connects to the 24V -
iii. The blue wire connects to the D1 +
iv. The black wire connects to the D1 -
v. The grey wire is our grounding wire.
3. Securely tighten the wires into their terminal blocks.

as the package is opened.
Whenever possible, your Solar-Ops Account Manager will share tracking information
and put the driver directly in contact with the receiving party for receiving coordination.
Setting and Orientation
The myPV CommsSafe will be installed on the unistrut on site. This Unistrut will be the
center point for your my PV CommSafe as it will have the auxiliary power available for
the enclosure. The orientation of the myPV CommsSafeshould ideally facing towards
the North East direction and have clearance to open the swing panel door.

Securing
Securing your myPV CommsSafeis as easy as possible with our Quick Start Guide.
This guide walks you through every step on how to safely, and securely attach your
myPV CommsSafeto the Unistrut utilizing the predrilled feet on the back of the cabinet,
install your sensors, and successfully and safely terminate the power. Do not modify the
cabinet to mount it or it will no longer be weather proofed.
Please note that all four (4) nuts should be tightened in accordance with the Torque
