The current outputs provided in the specifications were measured under standard test
conditions. However, these conditions may not occur frequently in actual practice.
Application Class of the Module
PV modules from PV Products GmbH are qualified for use in the application class A. This means for:
hazardous voltages (IEC 61730 greater than 50VDC, EN 61730 greater than 120V DC), systems of
hazardous outputs (greater than 240W), where unlimited access is generally to be expected. For
modules, which are qualified in this application class according to EN IEC 61730-1 and 2, it is assumed
that they meet the requirements of protection class II.
Mechanical Load
The modules must be mounted at the 4 specified positions as demonstrated in Figure 1 and
written in table 1.
As a result, a maximum pressure load of 5,400N/m² or 2.400N/m² is possible.
Product Fire Rating
PV modules from PV Products GmbH comply with the fire rating C provided by ANSI/UL790. To
comply with their conditions during an installation, these must be properly mounted over a roof
covering, which is fire-resistant for the application, with an elevated stand or a frame. The
certification is not valid if the modules are installed in a roof or into a wall of a building.
Wiring
General Information
All wiring may only be performed by qualified and authorised specialists.
All wiring must be performed according to applicable electrical codes.
To ensure personal safety and protection and to prevent damages, all wiring must be
protected accordingly.
Do not connect modules without a junction box.
All modules connected in a series or in parallel must be of the same module category and
product type.
A maximum of modules connected in a series have to be calculated with n
MODUL
x Voc <
V
MAXSYSTEM
A maximum of 26 modules may be connected in a series or 2 modules in parallel.
Never combine modules from PV Products GmbH with modules from other manufacturers.
To avoid the threat of an electric shock, do not disconnect and close the connections while
under load.
The size of the cables used for wiring must satisfy the respectively applicable codes for
electrical devices.
The polarity must be checked prior to connecting.
Please ensure that appropriate measures are made to prevent unauthorised access to high
voltage systems and set an appropriate over-current/surge protection.
