•
Do not dismantle or drop the module and do not remove any
attached nameplate or components from the module.
•
Do not bend or twist the module.
•
Do not apply paint or adhesive to module top surface.
•
Do not use pointed or sharp objects with the module.
•
Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the
module.
•
Precipitation can run off through small openings on the
back side of the module. Make sure that the openings are
not masked after mounting.
•
Do not wearing rings, watches, or metal jewelry during instal-
lations.
9) Hazard Warnings
Danger of death from electric shock!
PV modules generate electricity as soon as they are exposed to
sunlight. One module generates a safe, extra low voltage level,
but multiple modules connected in series (summing the voltage)
or in parallel (summing the current) represent a danger. The fol-
lowing points must be noted when handling the solar modules
to avoid the risk of fire, sparking and fatal electric shock.
•
Do not insert electrically conducting parts into the plugs or
sockets!
• Do not fit solar modules and wiring with wet plugs and
sockets!
• Exercise utmost caution when carrying out work on wiring
and safety equipment (use insulated tools, insulated gloves,
etc.)!
• Do not use damaged modules! Do not dismantle modules!
Do not mark on the rear of the module using sharp objects!
• Exercise utmost caution when working on wiring and the
inverter. Be sure carefully to follow manufacture’s installation
instructions!
Danger of death from arcing!
Modules generate direct current when light shines on them. An
electric arc may be generated when connectors are used to
turn the circuit on or off. We therefore recommended covering
modules with a lightproof cloth during installation. When brea-
king a connected string of modules (e.g. when disconnecting
the DC line from the inverter under load), a lethally strong arc
can occur.
•
Never disconnect the solar generator from the inverter while
the inverter is connected to the mains grid—remove the fuse
from the AC side on the inverter first!
• Ensure the connectors are clean and have not been conta-
minated and that the electrical connection and mechanical
joint are good!
