Warning notices
ATTENTION:
Danger of death from electric shock
Solar modules start to generate electricity as soon as they are exposed to light. Solar panels can produce life
threatening
High voltage!
especially when connected in series. The fully insulated plug-in contacts do provide
insulation protection. However, you should nevertheless observe the following when handling photovoltaic modules:
Do not insert electrically conductive parts into the plugs and sockets.
Do not install solar modules and wiring with wet plugs and sockets. Working conditions and tools must be dry.
All work performed on the wiring must be carried out by authorized specialist personnel with the utmost
caution and only with the aid of safety equipment.
High voltages may be present in wiring, modules and inverters even when they are switched off. Undertake all
work with the appropriate level of caution
– risk of death due to electric current!
After switching off the inverter, before beginning any further work it is essential to wait for the time interval
specified by the manufacturer so that the high-voltage components can discharge.
Be sure to carefully follow the inverter manufacturer’s installation instructions!
WINAICO modules are designed to meet the requirements for the IEC 61215, IEC 61730 and UL 1703 standards for
operation in a temperate climate (the module operating temperatures are between -40 °C and +85 °C). Hazardous
voltages (IEC 61730: higher than 50V DC; EN61730: higher than 120V DC), hazardous power applications (higher than
240W) where general unrestricted access is anticipated. Modules qualified for safety through EN IEC 61730-1 and
61730-2 within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for Safety Class II).
ATTENTION:
Danger of death from electric arcs
Modules generate direct current (DC) when exposed to light irradiation and a deadly electric arc
can result when opening a closed section (e.g. when separating the DC cable from the inverter under
load).
Product protection
Protect the modules from incorrect handling.
Do not lay any object on the modules, never walk on the modules and do not drop them.
Only undertake modifications on the module if these have been confirmed in writing by WINAICO.
Do not work on the modules with pointed objects.
Keep all electrical contacts clean and dry.
It is recommended that the serial numbers are recorded for system documentation.
The solar module is not saltwater-resistant, and shall not be in direct contact with saltwater.
The module must not be subjected to unusual chemical loads (e.g. emissions from manufacturing plants).
Do not use lenses or mirrors to concentrate light (danger of overheating).
If solar modules are to be connected to storage batteries, the safety precautions of the battery manufacturer
must be observed.
Do not stand or step on the PV module, this is prohibited. There can be risk of microcrack which may cause a
sharp decline of module’s power performance; what’s more, it may threaten your safety.
Do not hit or put excessive load on the glass or back sheet. There can be risk of microcrack which may cause a
