6. Mechanical Installation
6.1 Mechanical Installation Cautions
• Observe all applicable health and safety regulations when installing SF modules.
• A safe distance should be cordoned off around the installation area.
• Fall protection equipment must be used.
• Installation in windy or wet conditions may require additional precaution. Please follow your local safety regulation.
• Keep the junction box and the module connector away from any liquids until connectors are mated.
Failure to do this may cause faulty wiring.
• Keep SF modules out of reach of children.
6.2 Site Location
• Ensure that the maximum wind and snow loads in local conditions do not exceed the SF module maximum load ratings.
• Avoid to install SF modules in areas where they are exposed to oil vapor and /or corrosive gas.
• Avoid accumulation of grit or dust on the SF modules as it may influence the output yield.
• Do not expose SF modules to sulphurous atmospheres.
• Do not install SF modules in locations where flammable gases accumulate or flow as there is a risk of sparks from
SF modules.
• Do not install SF modules near fire.
• Avoid installing SF modules in locations where they may be covered by permanent shadows. This may adversely affect their
performance.
• Do not install SF modules in locations where temperatures exceed the temperature range indicated in the module’s
technical specifications.
6.3 Module Handling Instructions
• Do not disassemble or modify SF modules. This may result in an electric shock, fire or other accidents. Solar Frontier cannot be held
responsible for any loss or damage caused by unauthorized disassembling, modification or misuse of SF modules.
• Do not drill additional mounting holes into the aluminum frame. Only pre-drilled holes should be used.
• Avoid placing any stress onto the SF modules, cables or connectors.
(Minimum bending radius of 39 mm for module cables is recommended)
• Do not stand or step on SF modules. This may result in damage to the module and/ or bodily harm by falling.
• Do not drop SF modules or drop objects onto them. Both sides of the module (the glass surface and the back sheet) are fragile.
• Do not strike the terminal box or pull the cables. The terminal box can crack and break, while the output cable may unplug and
cause electricity leakage or an electric shock.
• Do not scratch the backsheet or cables of the SF modules. Rubbing or scratching may result in an electric shock, electric leakage or
an accident.
• Do not scratch the insulation coating of the frame (except for the grounding connection). This may weaken the strength of the
frame or cause corrosion.
• Do not cover the water drain holes of the frame. Doing so may cause frost damage.
• Do not use glue when closing the cover of the junction box. Similarly, do not use a sealant to bond the junction box lid to its base.
