Frequently Asked Questions - PVG-2 NEP

What is the NEP PVG-2 installation system?

The NEP PVG-2 is a wall-mount bracket designed for secure installation of flat-screen TVs and monitors. It supports various screen sizes and VESA patterns.

What is the maximum weight the PVG-2 can hold?

The maximum load capacity is 30 kg (66 lbs). Ensure your screen does not exceed this weight.

What VESA patterns are compatible?

The PVG-2 supports VESA patterns 75x75, 100x100, 200x200, 300x300, and 400x400 mm. Check your TV's VESA size before installation.

Can I tilt the screen after installation?

Yes, the bracket allows a tilt angle of 0 to 15 degrees. Adjust by loosening the tilt tension screws.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill, screwdriver, level, and a stud finder. All mounting hardware (bolts, washers) are included.

Is the PVG-2 suitable for drywall?

The bracket is designed for solid concrete or brick walls. For drywall, use appropriate toggle bolts (not included) and ensure the wall can support the load.

How do I maintain the bracket?

Periodically check that all screws and bolts remain tight. Clean with a dry cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.

Does the bracket come with a warranty?

Yes, the NEP PVG-2 comes with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Contact NEP support for claims.

Can I replace parts if damaged?

Yes, spare parts such as bolts, brackets, and plastic covers are available through NEP service centers. Refer to the manual for part numbers.

What safety features does the PVG-2 have?

The bracket includes a safety lock mechanism that prevents accidental dislodging and an anti-tip design for added stability.

NEP RSD System Installation Procedures

Release: March 20, 2022

NORTHERN ELECTRIC

Step-1: Mount PVG

• PVG can be mounted on PV panel frame or on a rail
• Follow module manufacturer's instructions if mounted on frame [Ref: MOUNTING GUIDE PVG]
• A minimum 0.5 inch MUST be kept between any portion of PVG to the backside of a PV panel
• Violation may result in overheat on both PVG and PV panels
• PV cable between PV panels and PVG including extension cable should not be more than 2.0 meters

Step-2: Connect PVG to modules

• PVGs must be connected to PV modules before connecting homeruns
• While plugging or unplugging PVGs in a system, DC switch on the inverter must be turned off

Step-3: Test String Output Voltage of PVG

• PVG default state from factory is OFF
• Safety voltages (OFF) when PV-1 port is powered by a PV module

√ PVG_1 and PVG_4: 0.65 Vdc
√PVG_2: 1.4 Vdc
√ PVG_3: 1.8 Vdc

Step-4: Connect Homeruns

• PVGs must be connected to PV modules before connecting homeruns

• Following steps are recommended* to reduce cross interference between PLC signals from different PVG controllers

• Separate raceway of homeruns for different PVG controllers as far as possible

• Keep positive and negative conductors of homeruns of the same PV string as close as possible to a twisted pair in a cable tray
• Avoid conductors of homeruns for different PVG controllers in the same raceway
• Separate conductors for different PVG controllers as far as possible

Step-5: Build PVG map

• This step is required for panel level monitoring
• This step is recommended for post installation services

1 Fill in string number
2 Take one barcode sticker from PVG and put on the map

Job Name:

Step-6 and Step-7 are only for external PVG controllers

Step-6\*: Wire PVG Controller Power Supply

• Power conductor to PVG controller shall be 18AWG or 20AWG
- PVG controller shall never loose power supply while inverter is running and taking PV power

Option 1

Option 2

Step-6 and Step-7 are only for external PVG controllers

Step-7\*: Connect PVG Controller Signal Ring

- Only positive OR negative PV cables should pass through the signal ring

- PLC signal may cancel each other if both "positive" and "negative" cables pass through the signal rings

Step-9: Commissioning

• After all strings of the site have been tested, inverters can be turned on.
- String current should be checked to confirm on correct operation.

- Rapid Shutdown should be triggered by pulling the site AC switch that disconnects BOTH inverters AC and PVG power supply

- String voltage should drop to safety voltage within 30 seconds
