Nick, I recall an extensive discussion here regarding terminals to be used for battery terminals and the terminal manufacturer's requirement to use a specific crimper with their components to maintain their listing.
It was the consensus here that the manufacturer could not exclude other listed tools to make the connections, and retain the listing as it was built. Please explain to me how what you are telling us is different?

That tool is required for meeting our reliability requirements and compliance requirements.

I wasn't sure if it is ok to use since it's not the exact specified model in the Enphase instructions. There are all kinds of knock offs for under $50 and I have found a couple that seem to work extremely well, but again I'm not sure if it violates the listing to do so.

These are the only ones specified in the quick install guide. Obviously I don't want to violate the listing, but I also don't want to spend $500 for a tool for each truck. > > Jason Szumlanski > Principal Solar Designer > Florida Solar Design Group > _______________________________________________ > List sponsored by Redwood Alliance > > List Address: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > Change listserver email address & settings: > http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org > > List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html > > List rules & etiquette: > www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm <http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm> > > Check out or update participant bios: > www.members.re-wrenches.org <http://www.members.re-wrenches.org> > _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm <http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm> Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org <http://www.members.re-wrenches.org>
