DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
- The installation, handling and use of Taurus
Renovables modules are beyond company
control. Taurus Renovables does not assume
any responsibility for loss, damage, injury or
expense resulting from the improper installati-
on, handling, use or maintenance.
- Taurus Renovables Solar assumes no respon-
sibility for any infringement of patents or other
rights of third parties that may result from use
of the module. No license is granted by implica-
tion or under any patent or patent rights.
- Specifications are subject to change without
prior notice.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Potentially lethal DC voltages can be gene-
rated whenever PV Modules are exposed to
a light source therefore, avoid contact with
electrically active parts and be sure to isolate
live circuits before attempting to make or break
any connections.
- Only authorized and trained personnel should
have access or perform work on the modules
or solar system.
- When working on electrical connections, remo-
ve all metallic jewelry, use properly insulated
tools and wear appropriate personal protective
equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock.
- Do NOT stand or step on, damage or scratch
the front or backside surfaces of the module.
- Broken modules cannot be repaired and cont-
act with any module surface or frame can lead
to electrical shock. Do NOT use a module with
broken glass or torn substrate.
- Do NOT disassemble the modules or remove
any part of the module.
- Protect the electrical plug contacts against
corrosion and soiling. Make sure that all
connectors are corrosion free and clean before
making the connection.
- Do NOT install or handle modules when they
are wet or during periods of high wind.
- Ensure sure that all connections are securely
made with no gap between the contacts. Any
gap can result in electrical arcing that can cau-
se a fire hazard and/or an electric shock.
- Make sure that the polarity of each module or
a string is not reversed considering the rest of
the modules or strings.
- Do NOT artificially concentrate sunlight on
these solar modules.
- Taurus Renovables Solar modules are certified
for operating in Class A installations at voltages
below 1500Vdc. This maximum voltage should
not be exceeded at any time and, as the volta-
ge of the module increases, above data sheet
values, at operating temperatures below 25°C,
then these need to be taken into account when
designing a PV system.
- Do NOT use water to extinguish fires of an
electrical origin.
- Under normal conditions, a solar photovoltaic
module is likely to produce more current and /
or voltage than reported under standard test
conditions. Accordingly, the value of Isc mar-
ked on this module should be multiplied by a
factor of 1.25 when determining the conductor
current ratings, fuse sizes and size of controls
connected to the SPV output.
UNPACKING AND STORAGE
- At time of receipt, verify that the product deli-
vered is in fact the product ordered the product
name, subname, and serial number of each
laminate are clearly marked on the outside of
each packing box.
- Leave the product in its original packing box
until you are ready to install.
- Store packing boxes in a clean, dry area with
relative humidity below 85% and ambient tem-
peratures between -20°C and 40°C.
- Do NOT stack more than the maximum amount
of allowable pallets on top of each other.
- At the installation site, take care to keep modu-
les and particular their electrical contacts clean
and dry before installation. If connector cables
are left in damp conditions then the contacts
may corrode. Any module with corroded cont-
acts should not be used.
- If pallets are stored temporarily outside then
place a protective covering over the pallet to
protect it from direct weathering and do not
stack more than one pallet high.
- Two people are required to unpack the mo-
dules from the packing box, when handling
modules always use both hands.
- Do NOT use a knife to cut the zip-ties, but use
wire cutting pliers.
