Page 2: Revision History
Revision History Date Version Description 11/15/2012 Original version Add some statements about grounding hardware to comply UL 1703 Standard with its 5/8/2013 revisions dated May 8, 2012. Moreover, the Electrical Ratings were changed for Models TS-145C2, TS-150C2, and TS-155C2. Add a new Model TS-160C2 and deleted Models TS-125C2, TS-130C2, TS-135C2 and 5/15/2013 TS-140C2 for UL certification. -

Page 4: Warnings And Cautions
Photovoltaic systems must be installed by qualified and experienced personnel. Install PV modules with a minimum spacing of 10mm between neighboring frames to allow for thermal expansion. Do not step on, or place objects on the module during or after installation. Although TSMC Solar modules... - Page 5 Any module support structures that are to be used to support TSMC Solar modules must be wind rated and approved for use by the appropriate local and civil codes prior to installation. In Canada, the installation must be done in accordance with CSA C22.1, Safety Standard for Electrical installations, Canadian...

- Page 7 6.C Electrical Wiring Method To ensure proper system operation, correct cable connection polarity (Figure 2) must be observed when connecting the modules to other modules. If not connected correctly, the bypass diode could be destroyed. If modules are connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual module voltages. Only connect modules or series combinations of modules with the same voltage.

Figure 3 Example: Open-end spanner PV-MS Figure 4 Cable diagram 6.E Bypass diode Model type FR607G GSR1010HD Voltage rating 1000 (V) 1000 (V) Current 8 (A) 10 (A) Configuration Single in J-box Single in J-box 6.F Mechanical Installation There are two mechanical installation methods, the clamp method and the bolt method. Mounting hardware locations for both methods are illustrated in this section. - Page 9 All measurements in mm [inches] Figure 5 Clamp Zone Bolt Method: The frame of each module has 8 x 6.6 mm [0.26”] mounting holes. Modules mounted by bolting the frame to mounting structure must use the 4 mounting hole locations denoted “M1” in Figure 6. This method enables a maximum mechanical loading of 2,400N/m2 (50PSF) (IEC) too, in a static state on the module surface.
- Page 10 All measurements in mm [inches] Figure 6 Bolt Method Mounting Hole Locations 6.G Tilt Angle Selection Module tilt angle is measured between the module and the ground as shown in Figure 7, with modules generating the maximum power when they face sunlight directly (incident light perpendicular to module front surface). The modules should be oriented to face south in the Northern Hemisphere and face north in the Southern Hemisphere.

The fire rating of this module is valid only when mounted in the manner specified in the mechanical mounting instructions as described in Section 8 of this document, “Mounting Methods and Configurations”.

The WEEB parts must be installed in accordance to the manufacturers’ installation instruction. The diagram below (Figure 11) shows how WEEB grounding parts are used with the end/middle...

And the dimension of end/middle clamp for WEEB grounding parts have to follow our proposed requirement that the clamp overlap the module frame by at least 5 mm, the clamp overlap length is at least 38 mm and the fasteners torque of at least 10 ft-lbs (13.5N-m) is suggested.
