SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning
Before attempting to install, wire, operate
and / or service the module and other
electrical equipment, all instructions should be
read and understood. PV module connectors pass
direct current (DC) when exposed to sunlight or
other light sources. Contact with electrically active
parts of the module, such as terminals, can result in
injury or death, irrespective of whether or not the
module and the other electrical equipment have
been connected.
GENERAL SAFETY
· All installation work must comply with applicable
regional and local regulations or other national or
international electrical standards.
Protective clothing (non-slip gloves, clo-
thes, etc.) must be worn during installa-
tion to prevent direct contact with 30 V
DC or greater, and to protect your hands
against sharp edges.
Prior to installation, remove all metallic
jewelry to prevent accidental exposure to
live circuits.
When installing modules in light rain,
morning dew, take appropriate measures
to avoid water permeate into the
connector.
Do not
allow children or unauthorized
persons near the installation site or
storage area of modules.
· When installing modules in strong wind, take
appropriate safety measures to avoid damage to
the modules or injuries to people.
· Use electrically insulated tools to reduce the risk
of electric shock.
