General electrical installation
WARNING!
Electrical shock hazard! Do not touch bare conductors or
other potentially energized parts.
Photovoltaic modules convert light energy to direct-current electrical
energy. They are designed for outdoor use.
Do not use modules of different configurations in the same system.
SW Premium Plus modules are supplied with IEC and UL certified
cables and connectors for serial electrical connections.
For field connections, use only additional cables insulated for a
minimum of 90°C, rated for wet conditions and resistant to ultra vio-
let radiation (where exposed). They shall be qualified for the expected
maximum current, maximum voltage and environmental conditions.
Minimum cross section for serial connection: 4mm2 (#12 AWG).
The PV-DC-connectors must never be disconnected under load! Stick
to the first rule of chapter 3.2.
Refer to the relevant standards in your country to determine over
current, conductor ampacity and size requirements.
For best performance, ensure that positive and negative DC wires run
closely together avoiding loops, which will also reduce the strength of
inductive impacts of nearby lightning strikes.
Following the installation of a module string, its performance is
checked to ensure proper functioning. At least, ISC and VOC need to
be checked with appropriate equipment and circuit breakers.

Maintenance
HANPLAST recommends the following maintenance items to ensure
optimum performance of the module:
Clean the glass surface of the modules as necessary. Use water and a
soft sponge or cloth for cleaning. A mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent
can be used if necessary. Do not use dishwasher detergent.
Electrical and mechanical connections and the general condition of an
installed PV-system should be checked periodically by qualified per-
sonnel to verify that they are clean, secure and undamaged.
Eventually occurring problems must only be investigated by qualified
personnel.
Observe also the maintenance instructions for all other components
used in the system.
Be aware that the cells are protected from hot spot only with function-
ing bypass diodes. If bypass diodes need to be replaced see the in-
structions of the junction box supplier and use the same type of diode
as installed originally.
7.
Shutting down the system
Disconnect system from all power sources in accordance with instruc-
tions for all other components used in the system.
The PV-DC-connectors must never be disconnected under load! Use
switches designed for being disconnected under the prevailing DC-
load or stick to the first rule of chapter
The system should now be out of operation and can be dismantled. In
doing so, observe all safety instructions as applicable to installation.

Module Fire Performance
The fire rating of this module is valid only when mounted in the manner
specified
in
the
mechanical
mounting
instructions.
It depends on the used backsheet type and is declared in the module
datasheet.

Module specification
For electrical and mechanical ratings of the concerned modules please
refer to the current module data sheet.
