Earth by connecting from 

 to earth.  

Use M4 bolt (torque value 1.5 Nm) or standard gauge size #6 bolt (torque value 1.0 Nm). Tighten the bolts or screw with an adequate 
torque value. Please refer to further instructions provided by the screw or bolt manufacturer.

UL:

 Recommended tightening torque is 1.5 Nm and 1.0 Nm minimum for M4 and standard size #6 bolt respectively.

7.3  Electrical wiring

 • A set of cables with a plastic connector for each polarity is supplied with SF modules. Use these to connect modules.

 • Do not open the junction box.

 • Fasten the module cable to the frame or to the mounting system in order to avoid any stress to the connector.

 • Cables drooping from the terminal box are hazardous and must be avoided.

 • Cables should be secured so they are not exposed to direct sunlight (such as behind the module).

 • The sum of Voc of modules in series must not exceed the maximum system voltage rating of the module under any condition, 

even at low temperature.

 • Reverse current applied to the modules should not exceed 7 A under any condition.
