WARNING! Damaged module components may cause risk of fire hazard!
• Only install undamaged solar modules.
• Ensure that the junction box, cable and connectors are undamaged prior to installation.
• Do not open the junction box under any circumstances.
• Always store the solar modules securely in a dry place. The packaging is not weatherproof!
• The voltage of a module is higher at lower temperatures and / or higher irradiation than the
Standard Test Conditions (25 °C, 1000 W/m²). This must be considered so that the overall
voltage of the module strings does not exceed 1000 VDC (according to IEC 61215, Ed. 1 /
61730, Ed. 2) or 600 VDC (accordng to UL 1703).
• Integrate the solar system in the existing lightning protection system, in accordance with
the local regulations.
• Do not install or perform the modules in strong wind or rain. We recommend that mounting
and installation only be performed in dry weather.
• During mounting on buildings, there is a danger that tools, mounting materials or solar
modules can fall and injure people. For this reason, block off the danger area on the ground
before beginning installation work.
• Warn people near the danger area or in the building. Keep children away from the instal-
lation site.
• Carry out wiring work in such a way that people are not endangered, that no damage can
occur and that it is not placed in water at any time.
• Protect all parts of the module during transport and installation from mechanical stresses
(e.g. from pressure, tension, torsional stress). Ensure that the bend radius of the connec-
tion cables is kept greater than 60 mm at all times.
• The solar modules, especially the connectors and tools, must be dry during installation.
In order to ensure safe mounting, familiarise yourself with the national regulations for occupa-
tional safety and accident prevention.
The regulations and safety instructions applicable for the installation of electrical devices and
systems must be observed.
Also observe valid regulations and safety instructions concerning the fire protection classifica-
tion for rooftop installations. The module belongs to fire protection class C.
