2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning
Before attempting to install, wire, operate
and/or service the module and other
electrical equipment, all instructions should be read and
understood. PV module connectors pass direct current
(DC) when exposed to sunlight or other light sources.
Contact with electrically active parts of the module, such
as terminals, can result in injury or death, irrespective of
whether or not the module and the other electrical
equipment have been connected.
Avertissement
Toutes les instructions devront être lues et
comprises avant de procéder à l’installation,
le câblage, l’exploitation et/ou l’entretien des panneaux.
Les interconnexions des panneaux conduisent du courant
continu (CC) lorsque le panneau est exposé à la lumière
du soleil ou à d’autres sources lumineuses. Tout contact
avec des éléments sous tension du panneau tels que ses
bornes de sortie peut entraîner des blessures ou la mort,
que le panneau soit connecté ou non.
General Safety
All modules must be installed by licensed electricians in
accordance to the applicable electrical codes such as, the
latest National Electrical Code (USA) or Canadian Electric
Code (Canada) or other national or international
applicable electrical codes.
Protective clothing (non-slip gloves, clothes,
etc.) must be worn during installation to
prevent direct contact with 30 V DC or
greater, and to protect hands from sharp
edges.
Prior to installation, remove all metallic
jewelry to prevent accidental exposure to
live circuits.
When installing modules in light rain,
morning dew, take appropriate measures
to prevent water ingress into the
