Warning: Before attempting to install, wire,
operate and/or service the module and other
electrical equipment, all instructions
should be read and understood. PV module
interconnectors pass direct current (DC) when exposed to
sunlight or other light sources. Contact with electrically
active parts of the module, such as terminals, can result
in injury or death, irrespective of whether or not the
module and the other electrical equipment have been
connected.
Avertissement: Toutes les instructions devront
être lues et comprises avant de procéder à
l'installation, le câblage, l'exploitation et/ou
l'entretien des panneaux. Les interconnexions des
panneaux conduisent du courant continu (CC) lorsque le
panneau est exposé à la lumière du soleil ou à d'autres
sources lumineuses. Tout contact avec des éléments
sous tension du panneau tels que ses bornes de sortie
peut entraîner des blessures ou la mort, que le panneau
soit connecté ou non.

· All Modules must be installed by licensed electricians
in accordance with the applicable electrical codes
such as, the latest National Electrical Code (USA) or
Canadian Electric Code (Canada) or other national or
international electrical codes.
Protective clothing (non-slip gloves, clothes,
etc.) must be worn during installation to
prevent direct contact with 30 V DC or greater,
and to protect hands from sharp edges.
Prior to installation, remove all metallic jewelry
to prevent accidental exposure to live circuits.
When installing modules in light rain, morning
dew, take appropriate measures to prevent
water ingress into the connector.
Do not allow children or unauthorized persons
near the installation site or module storage
area.
· Use electrically insulated tools to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
· If the disconnects and over current protective devices
(OCPD) cannot be opened or the inverter cannot be
powered down, cover the fronts and backs of modules
in the PV array with an opaque material to stop the
production of electricity when installing or working on
