General safety 

 

eArche that fall under this application class may be used in system operation at more than 50V DC or 

240W, where general contact access is anticipated. eArche are qualified for safety under IEC 61730-2 

and within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for Safety Class II. 

 

eArche are qualified for Application Class A(IEC 61730-1). 

 

Installing solar photovoltaic systems requires specialized skills and knowledge. Installation should only 

be performed by qualified personnel. 

 

Installers  should  assume  all  risks  of  injury  that  might  occur  during  installation,  including,  but  not 

limited to, the risk of electric shock. 

 

One single eArche may generate more than 30V DC when exposed to direct sunlight. Contact with a 

DC voltage of 30V or more is potentially hazardous. 

 

Do not disconnect during load connection. 

 

Photovoltaic solar  eArche convert light energy to direct current electrical energy. They are designed 

for  outdoor  use.    eArche  can  be  ground  mounted,  mounted  on  rooftops,  vehicles  or  boats.  The 

proper  design  of  support  structures  lies  within  the  responsibility  of  the  system  designers  and 

installers.   

 

Do not use mirrors or other magnifiers to concentrate sunlight onto eArche. 

 

When  installing  the  system,  abide  to  all  local,  regional  and  national  statutory  regulations.  Obtain  a 

building permit if necessary. 

 

eArche electrical characteristics are within 

±

10% of the indicated values of Isc, Voc and Pmax under 

standard test conditions (Irradiance of 1000W/m

²

, AM 1.5 spectrum, a cell temperature of 25

℃(

77

°

F

). 

 

Only use equipment, connectors, wiring and support frames suitable for solar electrical systems. 

 

“Always  use  fall  protection  equipment  when  working  from  heights  of  6  feet 

183cm

or  above”.   

Follow Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) or local governing safety regulations regarding fall 

protection. (UL only) 

 

 

Handling safety 

 

Do not lift eArche by grasping eArche’ junction box or electrical leads. 

 

Do not stand, step or walk on any side of eArche. 

 

Do not drop eArche or allow objects to fall on eArche. 

 

Do not place any heavy objects on eArche. 

 

Be cautious when placing eArche down onto a surface, particularly when placing it in a corner. 

 

Inappropriate transport and installation may break eArche and void the warranty.
