the
Solar(Panels.(((
Cautions
•
Never(touch(the(end(of(output(cables(with(your(bare(hands(when(the(modules(are(irradiated.(Handle(wires
with(rubberMgloved(hands(to(avoid(electric(shock
•
Do(not(wear(metallic(jewelry(when(working(on(electrical(equipment
•
Product(should(be(installed(and(maintained(by(qualified(personnel
•
Do(not(drop(tools(or(other(items(on(the(glass(of(the(solar(module
•
Do(not(scratch(the(back(film(of(the(solar(panel
•
Avoid(exposing(solar(panels(to(partial(sunlight(or(shadows.(Partial(sunlight(can(cause(hot(spots(on(the(panel
•
Do(not(pour(chemicals(on(module(when(cleaning.(To(clean(use(a(damp(cloth(do(not(apply(excessive
pressure(to(the(cells
•
Do(not(expose(solar(module(to(sunlight(concentrated(with(mirrors,(lenses(or(similar(means
•
Keep(module(away(from(children
Precautions when working with batteries
•
Never(smoke(or(allow(a(spark(or(flame(near(the(batteries
•
Batteries(generate(hydrogen(and(oxygen(during(charging(resulting(in(evolution(of(explosive(gas(mixture.
Care(should(be(taken(to(ventilate(the(battery(area(and(follow(the(battery(manufacturer’s(recommendations
•
Batteries(contain(very(corrosive(diluted(acid(as(electrolyte.(Precautions(should(be(taken(to(prevent(contact
with(skin,(eyes(or(clothing
•
Use(caution(to(reduce(the(risk(of(dropping(a(metal(tool(on(the(battery.(It(could(spark(or(short(circuit(the
battery(or(other(electrical(parts(and(could(cause(an(explosion
•
Remove(metal(items(like(rings,(bracelets(and(watches(when(working(with(batteries.(The(batteries(can
produce(a(short(circuit(current(high(enough(to(weld(a(ring(or(the(like(to(metal(and(thus(cause(a(severe(burn
•
If(you(need(to(remove(a(battery,(always(remove(the(ground(terminal(from(the(battery(first.(Make(sure(that
all(the(accessories(are(off(so(that(you(do(not(cause(a(spark
•
Only(use(rechargeable(12(Volt(batteries,(ie.(Sealed(Lead(Acid,(Deep(Cycle,(GelMCell(etc.
•
Use(properly(insulated(tools(only(when(making(battery(connections
•
When(working(with(batteries(please(follow(the(battery’s(manufacturer(manual(and(precautions
Precautions when working with solar panels
With(the(incidence(of(sunlight(or(other(light(sources(on(all(solar(panels,(a(voltage(appears(at(the(output(
terminals(of(the(solar(panel(turning(it(into(a(source(of(electricity.(Do(not(make(contact(with(the(terminals(when(
the(panel(is(exposed(to(sunlight(or(other(light(sources.(To(avoid(shock(hazard(make(sure(the(solar(panel(is(
either(turned(over(so(the(cells(are(not(exposed(to(light(or(cover(the(cells(with(an(opaque((dark)(material(such(as(
paper/cloth(during(the(installation(process.((
Precautions when working with Charge Controllers
If(two(or(more(solar(panels(are(connected(in(series/parallel(make(sure(that(the(sum(of(the(short(circuit(current(
ratings(of(all(panel(strings(does(not(exceed(80%(of(the(charge(controller’s(current(rating(i.e.(8(Amps(or(28(Amps.(
