0.39 in (10mm)

0.20 in 

(5 mm)

Option 1:

 

Ä

Fasten the module with 4 clamps  in the specified 
clamping range, see Fig. 2, p. 7.

 

Ä

Tighten clamps according to manufacturer’s 
instructions.

 

Ä

Maintain an interval of at least 0.39 in (10 mm) 
between two modules along the short side and 
0.20 in (5 mm) along the long side.

NOTE! Module damage may occur!

 

Ä

Do not subject modules to mechanical tension. 
Max. torsion 0.12 in/ft (10 mm/m).

Option 2:

 

Ä

Install the module at the 4 mounting points,  
see Fig. 2, p. 7.

 

Ä

Tighten screws according to manufacturer’s 
instructions.

Option 3:

 

Ä

Install the module using mounting profiles,  
see Fig. 2, p. 7.

3  INSTALLATION

3.3 MODULE INSTALLATION

DANGER! 
Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!

When disconnecting an electric circuit carrying direct current, 
electric arcs can occur that may result in life-threatening injuries.

 

Ä

Do NOT unplug the cable when under load.

 

Ä

Do NOT connect any exposed cable ends.

 

Ä

Electrical work may only be performed by qualified and skilled 
personnel (see page 3).

A solar module generates electrical current and voltage even 
at a low intensity of illumination. Sparks and electric arcs may 
result from the separation of a closed circuit. These can result 
in life-threatening injuries. The danger increases when several 
modules are connected in series.

 

Ä

Please be aware of that the entire open circuit voltage is active 
even at low levels of solar irradiation. 

 

Ä

Please follow the valid national regulations and safety guidelines 
for the installation of electrical devices and systems.

 

Ä

Please make sure to take all necessary safety precautions. With 
module or phase voltages of more than 120 V, the safety extra-
low voltage range is exceeded.

 

Ä

Carry out work on the inverter and the wiring with extreme 
caution.

 

Ä

Ensure that the modules are disconnected at the inverter prior 
to separation.

 

Ä

Be sure to observe the time intervals specified by the inverter 
manufacturer after switching off the inverter.

 

Ä

Make sure that the plugs can not be connected unintentionally.

 

Ä

Before working on the contacts, check them for safety extra-
low voltage.

DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Never open the junction box.

 

Ä

Do not remove bypass diodes.

DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Never touch live contacts with bare hands.

 

Ä

Cover connectors by suitable protective caps until 
installation.

DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Insulate any exposed cable ends.

 

Ä

Only connect cables with plugs.

DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Only use dry, insulated tools for electrical work.
