SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
GENERAL SAFETY
·
All Modules must be installed by licensed electricians in
accordance to 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 your hands against sharp edges.
Use electrically insulated tools to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Prior to installation, remove all metallic jewelry
to prevent accidental exposure to live circuits.
If the disconnects and over current protection
devices (OCPD‘s) cannot be opened or the
inverter cannot be powered down, cover the
fronts of the modules in the PV array with
an opaque material to stop the production
of electricity when installing or working on a
module or wiring.
· When installing modules in light rain, morning dew, take
