HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD
Never touch the power terminals as the module can be charged and
cause fatal electrical shocks. Always check that the module is fully
discharged before manipulating the module. Please refer to the step by
step instructions below for the manual discharge procedure.
A fully discharged module may have a “bounce back voltage” if it is
stored without a shorting wire connected to the + and – terminals. This
bounce back voltage can be as much as 2V. When used in series strings
this has the potential to cause dangerous electrical shocks.
3. Installation
3.1.
Mechanical
Modules have four clearance holes for mounting screw locations. The modules can be
mounted in any orientation. Recommended mounting plate thickness is 3.2mm.
For best results the modules should not be mounted in locations where they are directly
exposed to the environment. In particular areas of direct splash should always be avoided.
In systems that operate at voltages in excess of 48VDC, appropriate protection and
sealing should be used on module terminals to avoid shock hazards and corrosion. Note that
the terminals are fully exposed to the environment.
