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

Do NOT touch the poles at the same time.

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 
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  specified  time  intervals after 
switching off the inverter. High-voltage components 
need time to discharge.

DANGER

! Risk of fatal injury due to electric 

shock! 

 

Ä

Never open the junction box.

 

Ä

Change of bypass diodes is only allowed 
by qualified and trained personnel in 
disconnected and covered state.

DANGER

! Risk of fatal injury due to electric 

shock! 

 

Ä

Never touch live contacts with bare 
hands.

 

Ä

Do not touch the poles at the same 
time.

 

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.

3.

 Switch off the DC circuit breaker.

 

Ä

Disconnect plugs by the use of 
appropriate and qualified tools of 
the manufacturer Tyco, Amphenol or 
Multicontact.

2.

 Cover the modules to be disconnected.
