2 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 connectors 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 applicable
electrical codes.
