9 INSTALLATION
All cables used (Ref. §Error! Reference source not found. point A,
point B, point E) and connected to the strings or under field voltage, must
comply with the minimum insulation requirements of 1000Vdc.
In case the low voltage cables are carried together with the cables from
the photovoltaic field, the installer must ensure that the main electrical
insulation conditions are guaranteed.
The environmental situation and positioning can influence the operation of the
PVI-STRINGCOMB(-S); therefore, the indications below must be followed.
9.1 Place of installation
With regard to the place where the device will be positioned, the following
warnings must be considered.
Do not place the PVI-STRINGCOMB(-S) near inhabited areas or in the
attic. Escape routes must be kept free.
A position out of doors must always be chosen.
Do not install the device in a position where it is exposed to direct
sunlight: the high temperature could compromise functioning of the
electronic components. The boxes should be installed under the solar
panels in a protected position.
