1 Safety Instructions And Waiver of Liability
1.1 Symbol of Safety Instructions
Safety instructions for personal protection and instructions that refer to the safety functions of the
system are marked with this sign and are printed in bold letters.
For safe installation of other components which are not mentioned in the PV System-Manager instructions, please see
the corresponding safety manual of the component manufacturer
.
1.2 How To Use This Manual
This manual describes the functions and installation of a PV System-Manager - a solar charge/load controller in a PV
system with a battery as storage.
For safe installation of other components, e.g. solar modules, electrical accessories and battery, please see the
corresponding manual of the manufacturer.
Hint: Before you start your work, read the instructions for Installation (chapter 6; page 10). Make sure that all
preparatory measures are taken.
Only start to install the System-Manager when you are sure that you have understood all the technical details of this
manual. Please make sure that all steps are done in the sequence that is described in this manual.
These instructions must be handed out to all persons that work with this system. These instructions are part of the
System-Manager and must be handed over in case the System-Manager is sold.
This manual has to be made accessible for any third party or parties working on the PV system.
Before you start work:
•
Read the chapter Installation (chapter 6; page 10)
•
Make sure that all Precautions (chapter 6.1; page 10) are taken.
•
Only start to install your System-Manager when you are sure that you have understood all technical
instructions.
•
Only proceed in the order started in this manual!
1.3 General Safety Instructions
For your own safety, please note the following for installation:
Avoid generating sparks!
Solar modules produce current whenever light strikes them. Even at a small light level, the full voltage can be present.
Therefore, work carefully and pay attention to the corresponding safety precautions. Cover the modules with something
to block the light while connecting the system.
During installation and wiring of the photovoltaic system, the system voltage may double (with the 12 V system up to 24
V, with the 24 V system up to 48 V, and within the 48 V system up to 96 V)
Therefore:
Do not ever touch bare wire ends even in DC Systems! This habit can cause
injury or even death!
Only use well insulated tools!
Do not use technical tools that are defective or broken!
The safety features of the System-Manager can be defeated when it is operated in a way not specified by the
manufacturer.
Restriction of ventilation can lead to overheating of the System-Manager and thus failure. Do not cover any ventilating
slots or cooling ribs.
The System-Manager must not be installed and used in moist damp areas (e. g. bathrooms) or in rooms in which there
are flammable gas mixtures (from gas bottles, paint, solvents etc.)!
