6.1 Preconditions for commissioning
The PV Next String Combiner Box is fully mounted.
► Before commissioning, check that the product is not
damaged.
If the enclosure, printed circuit board or individ-
ual components are damaged or heavily soiled,
do not operate the product. Contact your Weid-
müller representative or distributor.
During commissioning, ensure that no moisture,
dust or foreign objects can penetrate into the
product.
Two procedures are permitted for installation
work:
– Working on live components: Only electricians
who are qualied to work on live components
may work under voltage. They must comply
with local regulations (e.g. personal protective
equipment and risk assessment).
– Voltage-free working: Input and output cables
must be properly disconnected and secured
against being switched on again. Voltage-free
work may be carried out by electricians and
trained personnel.
► Refer to the inverter manufacturer's documen-
tation.
The Weidmüller WM4C and PV-Stick PV connectors are
compatible with each other. Weidmüller accepts no liability
for damage caused by the use of connectors from other
manufacturers.
