
Assume that metal surfaces are energized unless proven otherwise.

Isolate the PV source circuit under test from the inverter, and from other PV source
circuits, before making any connections to the test device (PV module, string, or
array).

Always pause the measurement sequence using the LED-illuminated pushbutton
switch on the I-V unit before connecting or disconnecting the test leads of the PVA-
600.

Do not use the PVA-600 to test devices that produce more than the instrument‘s
specified maximum current and voltage.

Connect the test leads to the test device (PV module, string, or array) with the correct
polarity.

Protect the primary test lead connectors of the PVA-600 by installing connector-
saver jumpers. Replace the connector-saver jumpers when they have reached 100
connections.

Make sure that user-provided cables or clip leads used to extend the test leads of the
PVA-600 are rated to safely handle the PVA-600‘s specified maximum current and
voltage.

When using probes or clip leads, they should be of the insulated type with minimal
exposed metal. Keep your fingers behind the insulating finger guards.
WARNING Do not remove instrument covers. There are no user serviceable parts within.
Operation of the instrument in a manner not specified by Solmetric may result in
personal injury or loss of life.

Do not use the I-V Measurement Unit if it is damaged. Always inspect for damage
before using.

Inspect primary test leads and connectors for damage before using. Do not use if
damaged.
