Safety
WARNING
DANGER
–
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.
•
Do not operate unit above the specified voltage.
•
Do not operate unit above the specified temperature rating.
•
Do not touch terminals with conductors while charged. Serious burns,
shock, or arcing may occur.
•
Protect surrounding electrical components from incidental contact.
•
Provide sufficient electrical isolation when working above 50 VDC.
•
Prior to installation on or removal from the system, it is mandatory to
fully discharge the module to guarantee the safety of personnel.
WARNING
A fully discharged module may “bounce back” if it is stored without a
shorting wire connected to the + and
–
terminals. This bounce back can
be as much as 20V with the BMOD0010. When used in series strings
this has the potential to cause dangerous electrical shocks.
