General Safety Information - Samsung LPC235S Installationsanweisung

general safety information

All safety instructions in this document should be read and understood before installing this device.
Before installing modules, contact the appropriate
authorities to determine permissions, installation and
inspection requirements, which should be followed. Refer
to applicable regional and local codes.
WARNING!
Module interconnection cables pass direct current
(DC) and are sources of voltage when the module is
under load and when it is exposed to light.
Direct current can arc across gaps and may
cause injury or death if improper connection or
disconnection is made, or if contact is made with
modules that are frayed or torn. Do not connect or
disconnect modules when current from the modules
or an external source is present.
Installation should be performed only by
authorized personnel.
Installing a PV system requires specialized knowledge,
especially the installation and wiring of the PV modules.
This work should only be carried out by suitably qualified
and authorized persons.
TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF
ELECTRIC SPARKS, SHOCK, FIRE,
BURNS, DAMAGE AND INJURY;
• Children and animals should not be allowed near the
installation while work is being carried out.
• Avoid electrical discharges when installing, cabling,
starting-up, or performing maintenance on the module.
• A module generates electricity when it is exposed to
sunlight or to other sources of light. Completely cover
surface of the module with an opaque material before
making or breaking electrical connections.
• Do not install or handle the modules or tools when they
are wet or during periods of high wind.
• Do not install the module where there are gases or
flammable vapors, as they can create sparks.
• Remove all metallic jewelry prior to installing this
product to reduce the chance of accidental exposure
to live circuits.
• Wear suitable clothing, guards, and gloves to prevent
you from direct contact with 30 VDC or greater.
• Use insulated tools to reduce your risk of electric
shock.
• There are no user serviceable parts within the module.
Do not attempt to repair any part of the module.
• Do not stand on, drop, scratch, or allow object to fall
on modules.
• If the front glass is broken, or the back sheet is torn,
contact with any module surface or module frame can
cause electric shock. Do not puncture, cut, scratch
or damage the glass or back sheet of a module. Back
sheet damage will void a module's Limited Warranty
and may cause fire. Never use modules with a
damaged back sheet.

• Broken junction-boxes and/or broken connectors are
electrical hazards as well as laceration hazards. The
dealer or installers should remove the module from the
array and contact the supplier for disposal instructions.
• Never rest or leave a module unsupported or
unsecured.
• Do not artificially concentrate sunlight on a module.
• Do not touch the junction box terminals.
• Do not change the wiring of bypass diodes.
• If batteries are used with the module, follow
all recommendations indicated by the battery
manufacturer for safety.
• Completely ground all modules.
• When installing on a roof, ensure that the module
is attached with a mechanical fastening. The roof
should have an adequate level of fire-resistance for the
application.
• Contact your module supplier if maintenance is
necessary.
CAuTIONS!
Use a module for its intended purpose only.
Do not treat the back sheet, frame, or front
surface with paint or adhesives, to avoid
reducing its functionality, damage and causing
inoperable conditions, and other unknown
troubles.
