Safety Instructions
Modules interconnect pass direct current (DC) and are sources of voltage when the
module is under load and when it is exposed to light.
Direct current can arc across gaps
and may cause injury or death if improper connection or disconnection is made, or if
contact is made with module leads that are frayed or torn.
Do not connect or
disconnect modules when current from the modules or an external source is present.
Cover all modules in the PV array with an opaque material before making or breaking.
It is imperative to use the supplied locking connectors and safety clips in order to defend
against untrained personnel disconnecting the modules once they have been installed.
All installations must be performed in compliance with all applicable regional and local
codes.
There are no user serviceable parts within the module. Do not attempt to repair any
part of the module.
Installation should be performed only by qualified personnel.
Remove all metallic jewelry prior to installing this product to reduce the chance of
accidental exposure to live circuits.
Use insulated tools to reduce your risk of electric shock.
Do not stand on, drop, scratch or allow objects to fall on modules.
Damaged modules (broken glass, torn back sheet, broken j-boxes, broken connectors,
etc) can be electrical hazards as well as laceration hazards. Contact with damaged
module surfaces or module frame can cause electric shock. The dealer or installers
should remove the module from array and contact the supplier for disposal instructions.
Do not install or handle the modules when they are wet or during periods of high wind.
Contact your module supplier if maintenance is necessary.
Save these instructions.
The electrical installation is in accordance with local electrical regulations.
Do not open electrical connections or unplug connectors while the circuit is under load.
The module electrical ratings are measured under Standard Test Conditions (STC) of
1000W/m
