7.1.3
Checking modules
Before installation, check each aleo module for mechanical
defects. Pay particular attention to possible damage to glass
panels and insulated backsheets.
In addition, check the insulation on the cables, connectors and
junction boxes.
If you discover any defects, report them to the supplier or
transport company immediately.
7.1.4
Transporting modules to installation site
Framed modules
Always carry the aleo module with one other person. Take hold
of the module on its long sides.
When transporting individual modules, make sure that you do
not put any strain or pressure on the junction box and cables.
7.2 Safety precautions
When installing on roofs or other elevated sites, objects may fall
down: Severe or fatal injuries are possible!
Block off the danger zone for people and animals before begin-
ning installation work. If possible, remove all objects from the
danger zone.
Electric arcs form when electrical connections are made or dis-
connected incorrectly: Severe or fatal injuries from electric shock
or severe injury from burns!
Disconnect the photovoltaic generator before you carry out any
work on the electrical components of the photovoltaic genera-
tor.
High DC voltages possible, even when the photovoltaic generator
is disconnected, if the generator is earthed: Severe or fatal inju-
ries from electric shock!
If the circuit of your photovoltaic generator is earthed, remove
the earth before carrying out electrical work on the generator.
WARNING!
Exposed live parts on damaged modules: Danger of electric shock!
Only use components which are in perfect condition for use in
photovoltaic systems. Do not install solar modules with visible
damage to the glass panels, the insulating back sheet or on the
insulation of electrical connections.
___________________________________________________
WARNING!
Contact with live parts due to unsuitable tools or wet conditions:
Danger of electric shock!
Only use approved, insulated tools for installation or mainte-
nance work on live parts.
Work in dry conditions. Make sure that the electrical connec-
tions on the solar module, the cables used for installation and
the tools, are dry.
7.2.1
Health and safety
CAUTION!
Risk of slipping due to wind, rain, snow or ice: Risk of injury due to
falling or colliding with objects!
Avoid unfavourable weather conditions, such as strong wind or
rain.
Also avoid working on the installation site in ice and snow.
Use the safety equipment required or recommended by local
regulations, such as hard hats, steel-capped shoes with rubber
soles, protective goggles, gloves or fall-protection systems.
CAUTION!
Hot module parts in strong sunlight: Risk of burning!
Protect yourself from burning by wearing gloves and suitable
clothing.
