CAUTION
Only use the modules for the intended purpose.
Never coat the front or rear surfaces of a module with paint or adhesives as this can lead to
outages, functional impairments, damages or other problems.
Never disconnect the plug connection when under load.
GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
Please follow all requirements regarding approval, installation and inspection.
Prior to the installation of the modules, please contact the appropriate authorities to
determine the necessary requirements regarding installation, approval and inspection.
It is necessary to ensure adequate stability of the construction or structure (roof, façade,
etc.) to which the module is intended to be mounted.
Special constructions or structures are necessary for proper installation of the modules on
roofs.
Modules of a different configuration may not be used within a single system.
The structure of a roof as well as the construction of the module have an effect on the fire
resistance of a building. Improper installation can potentially increase the risk of fire.
Additional devices such as isolating switches, grounding conductors, and fuses, etc. may be
necessary.
Please follow the respective safety measures of the other system components.
INSTALLATION
General Information
The following section comprises mechanical and electrical characteristics for the use of modules from
PV Products GmbH. Please read the instructions thoroughly prior to installation or use of the
modules.
To ensure that the modules withstand all expected loads such as wind and snow loads, they
must be installed firmly and securely.
Never install damaged modules from PV Products GmbH.
The use of a torque key is recommended for the installation of the modules.
To mount the modules, the 4 mounting holes (d=9mm) provided on the frame can be used.
Spring rings and washers must be used for this.
Drilling additional holes is not allowed as this will result in the forfeiture of any warranty
rights.
Use only corrosion-resistant mounting materials.
The module must be mounted at least at the 4 provided points or holes.
When using clamps to mount the modules, the contact surface should be 800mm² per clamp.
Mounting systems recommended by authorised expert retailers must be used for this. These
must be installed as presented in the shaded area in Figure 1.
