A Shell Solar frameless module provided with
pre-mounted clamps is an IEC tested and
certified system and comes with the standard
Shell Solar product warranty.
}
Attach clamps to a solid, clean and flat
surface
}
Avoid putting the module under stress
when tightening the clamps. Do not create
any forces that could affect the module or
cause the clamps to pull away from the
module or slide towards the module.
}
Use high quality M8 screws with strength
class 8.8 (in accordance with DIN
EN 24014) and washers compliant with
EN ISO 7093-8-200HV (minimum
diameter 24 mm, thickness 2 mm).
}
We recommend using full-metal, self-lock-
ing nuts with spring-washers.
}
Use a torque wrench and tighten the nuts
with a torque of 30 Nm.
}
Two days after installing the modules test
all screws for proper tightness using a
torque wrench.
}
Always arrange frameless modules in
landscape position with the mounting
clamps along the bottom and top edges. If
positioned in portrait position, the narrow
bottom edge must be secured against
slipping.
[USA] Frameless modules without
pre-mounted clamps
This product is a UL recognized component
and can only be used with a UL certified
mounting system. Follow strictly the instructions
in the installation guide of the mounting system.
Provide adequate rear ventilation
For proper operation and to avoid damage
from condensation, the module requires an
adequate flow of air across the rear surface.
When installing the module, ensure that
there is sufficient distance between the rear
of the module and the mounting surface. For
roof-mounted modules, the minimum distance
between the roof and the modules should be
5 cm (2 in).
Unpacking and handling the module
}
Leave the module in its package until you
are ready to install it.
}
When installing or working with module
or wiring, cover module face completely
with opaque material (e.g. cardboard
packaging) to halt prodution of electricity.
These precautions are not necessary if the
module is fitted with a connecting cable
and a shock proof plug connector.
}
Do not use the attached junction box to
hold or transport the module.
}
Do not stand or step on module.
}
Do not drop module or allow objects to
fall on module.
}
To avoid glass breakage and damage to
the module, do not place any heavy ob-
jects on the module or on its rear surface.
Avoid setting the module down hard on
any surface, particularly when placing it
on a corner. Do not lay the module on an
uneven surface. If the glass of the module
is broken, it cannot be used.
}
Do not carry out installation work for
modules on roofs or buildings when there
are strong winds. There is also a risk of
damage or injury from wind forces when
lifting or moving support frames with
several attached modules.
