ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output.   

 

Only use same or connectable connectors to connect eArc to form a string, or connect to another device. 

Removing the connectors will void the warranty. 

 
 

Fire safety 

 

Consult your local authority for guidelines and requirements for building or structural fire safety. 

 

Roof constructions and installations may affect the fire safety of a building; improper installation may 

create hazards in the event of a fire. 

 

Use components such as ground fault circuit breakers and fuses as required by local authority. 

 

Do not use panels near equipment or in places where flammable gases may be generated. 

 

eArc have been rated Fire Class C, and are suitable for mounting on to a Class A roof. 

 
 

Production Identification 

Each eArc has two labels providing the following information: 

 

Nameplate: describes the product type; rated power, rated current, rated voltage, open circuit voltage, 

short  circuit  current,  all  as  measured  under  standard  test  conditions;  weight,  dimensions  etc.;  the 

maximum system voltage is 1000 volts. 

 

Barcode: each individual eArc has a unique serial number. The serial number has 18 digits. The 1th to 

4th digits are the module type for internal use, and the 5th and the 6th digits are the year code, and 

the 7th and 8th digits are the month and the 9th and the 10th digits are the week code, and the 11th 

and the 15th digits are order number, and the 16th and the 18th digits are the sequence codes. For 

example, XXXX160417XXXXXXXX means the module was made in the 17th week of 2016. Each module 

has only one bar code. It is permanently attached to the interior of eArc and is visible from the top front 

of eArc. This bar code is inserted prior to lamination. 

 

 
 

Mechanical Installation 

Selecting the location 

 

Select a suitable location for installing eArc. 

 

eArc should face south in northern latitudes and north in southern latitudes. 

 

For detailed information on the best installation angle, refer to standard solar photovoltaic installation 

guides or consult a reputable solar installer or systems integrator. 

 

eArc  should  not  be  shaded  at  any  time.  If  an  eArc  is  shaded  or  even  partially  shaded,  it  will  fail  to
