Safety instructions
General safety instructions
Repair and operation of a PV system require sound
expert knowledge. Therefore, all work on the sys
-
tem may only be carried out by appropriately qua
-
lified and authorised technical specialists. It is es
-
sential to read these mounting instructions carefully
and attentively before installing, commissioning or
maintaining the PV system, and keep the instruc
-
tions easily accessible. Non-observance of the
safety instructions can lead to personal injury and
damage to property. Keep children away!
We are constantly striving for the further impro
-
vement of our products through innovation and re
-
search activity.
We therefore reserve the right to change the infor
-
mation contained in this mounting manual without
prior notice.
Applicable safety regulations
The modules of the system may only be used in
accordance with their suitability. The modules may
not be technically modified. During mounting, make
sure that the locally applicable building regulations,
standards and accident prevention regulations are
observed. Ensure that the necessary safety instruc
-
tions for mounting and operation of other system
components are also followed.
Using the modules
Please note the following points in particular when
using our solar modules:
■
The installation and/or operation of the solar
modules is permitted up to a max. altitude of
2000 m above sea level.
■
The function of the modules is tested at an am
-
bient temperature of -40 to +85°C. This range
should be observed.
■
The modules must not be exposed to excepti
-
onal chemical loads (e.g. emissions from ma
-
nufacturing companies).
■
When connecting solar modules to power sto
-
rage units, the respective safety instructions of
the manufacturer must be observed.
Attention: Danger to life!
Danger to life from electric shock!
Solar modules generate electricity. If they are ex
-
posed to light, they are live and can pose a danger.
Even if the voltage of a single module is still low
at less than 50 V DC, the total voltage adds up as
soon as several modules are connected in series.
When several modules are connected in parallel,
the currents add up. Although the fully insulated
plug contacts provide protection against acciden
-
tal contact, the following must be observed when
handling the solar modules to avoid fire, sparking
and, above all, fatal electric shock:
■
Do not insert electrically conductive parts into
the plugs and sockets.
■
Do not wear metal jewellery during mechanical
and electrical installation work.
■
Keep moisture away from tools and the wor
-
king environment. Only install solar modules
and cables with dry plugs and sockets.
■
Proceed with extreme caution and care.
■
Only use insulated tools to carry out all work
on the cables and also wear insulated gloves.
■
Do not disassemble modules. Never remove
parts or type plates attached by the manufac
-
turer. Only use faultless modules. Do not use
sharp objects, paints or adhesives on the back
of the module.
■
Do not expose solar modules to artificially con
-
centrated sunlight.
Please note that the wiring of modules may only be
carried out by qualified and authorised specialists.
