applications only, thus excluding aerospace or
maritime conditions or use with sunlight
concentration.
It is recommended that the module remains
packed in the box until time of installation .Work
only under dry conditions, with a dry module
and tools.
Since sparks may be produced, do not install
module where flammable gases or vapors are
present.
Do not drill holes into module frame as it will
void warranty.
Modules are constructed with tempered glass,
but still must be handled with care. If the front
glass is broken or if the polymer back skin is
torn, contact with any module surface or the
frame can produce electrical shock, particularly
when the module is wet. Broken or damaged
modules must be disposed of properly. Do not
disassemble, bend, impact by sharp objects,
walk on, and throw or drop etc. Keep back
surface free from foreign objects. Avoid sharp
edges.
Use module for its intended function only.
Follow all module manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not disassemble the module, or remove any
part or label installed by the manufacturer. Do
not treat the back of the module with paint or
adhesives.
If not otherwise specified, it is recommended
that requirements of the latest local, national or
regional electrical codes be followed.
Retain this installation manual for future
reference.
9 NOTES
The installation shall be in accordance with
CSA C22.1, Safety Standard for Electrical
Installation, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module
is likely to experience conditions that produce
more current and/or voltage than reported at
standard test conditions. Accordingly, the
values of Isc and Voc marked on this module
should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when
determining voltage ratings, conductor current
ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls
connected to the module output. Refer to
Section 690-8 of the U.S. National Electrical
Code for an additional multiplying factor of 1.25,
which may be applicable.
For modules with a nominal open voltage or
maximum system voltage of 45V or more may
cause an electric shock.
The current output for the modules shown in
the Specifications is measured at Standard Test
Conditions. These conditions may not be
frequently observed in actual practice.
