Purpose of This Guide
Please carefully read the following installation and safety instructions. Non-compliance with
these instructions may void the module warranty.
This guide contains information regarding the installation and safe handling of Furrion
photovoltaic modules. All instructions must be read and understood before attempting
installation. If there are any questions, please contact your dealer or Furrion for further
information.
The installer should conform to all safety precautions in the guide when installing modules.
Before installing a solar photovoltaic system, the installer should become familiar with the
mechanical and electrical requirements for photovoltaic systems. Keep this guide in a safe place
for future reference.
General
●
The installation of solar photovoltaic systems requires specialized skills and knowledge. The
installer assumes all risk of injury, including risk of electric shock. Module installation should
be performed only by qualified persons.
●
All modules come with a permanently attached junction box and PV1-F 1×2.5mm
2
wire
terminated in PV connectors. Your dealer can provide additional extension cables to simplify
module wiring.
●
Exercise caution when wiring or handling modules exposed to sunlight.
●
Do not connect or disconnect wires attached to photovoltaic modules when modules are
exposed to sunlight, otherwise an electric arc may occur. Arcs can cause burns, fires or
other safety problems. Always exercise caution when connecting and disconnecting wiring
on modules.
●
Photovoltaic solar modules convert light energy to direct-current electrical energy and are
designed for outdoor use. Proper design of support structures is the responsibility of the
system designer and installer.
●
Modules may be ground mounted, pole mounted, or mounted on rooftops.
●
Do not attempt to disassemble the module, and do not remove any attached nameplates or
components. Doing so will void the warranty.
●
Do not apply paint or adhesive to the module.
●
Do not use mirrors or other hardware to artificially concentrate sunlight on the module.
●
When installing modules, observe all applicable local, regional and national codes &
regulations. Obtain a building and/or electrical permit when required.
Safety Precautions for Installing a Solar Photovoltaic
System
●
Solar modules produce electrical energy when exposed to sunlight.
●
Furrion solar modules are intended to be connected in series. However, if modules or
series combination of modules are wired in parallel make sure that each module or series
combination of modules has the same rated voltage.
