SAFETY NOTICE
This Safety and Installation Manual provides important safety information relating to the
installation, maintenance and handling of Silfab SLA and SLG modules. Professional installers,
operation & maintenance technicians, and system users/owners should read this manual carefully
and strictly follow the instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death,
injury or property damage, and possible void of warranty.
Warning: All instructions should be read and understood before attempting to install, wire, operate
and/or maintain the module. Module interconnects 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, whether the module is connected or disconnected.
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.
