Electrical Installation - Conergy PowerPlus Montageanleitung

3.2 Securing the photovoltaic modules to
the frame
Damage to the photovoltaic modules due to
incorrect installation.
| Only work in dry conditions.
CAUTION
| Secure the modules against slipping and fall-
ing.
| Do not drop the modules.
| Do not hold the module by its socket or con-
nection cables.
| Always take hold of modules that are to be
lifted by two opposite points on the frame.
Never carry modules by just one part of the
frame.
| Do not drop any objects on the module and
do not step on it.
| Do not drill the module frame.
3.2.1 Bolting the photovoltaic module in place
Fig. 3-2: Securing the module with bolts
1. Place the module on the frame.
2. Insert four stainless-steel bolts (M8) through
the holes (9x15 mm) in the frame.
3. Secure each bolt to the frame with 2 stain-
less-steel washers, a stainless-steel spring
washer or tooth lock washer and a stainless-
steel nut (M8)
(recommended tightening torque: 8 Nm).
3.2.2 Clamping the photovoltaic module in place
The module may only be clamped in the permit-
ted clamping area of the long frame parts (+/–
150 mm from the mounting holes), but not on
the front frame parts.
The clamping pieces
frame [2] on the glass side and must be a mini-
mum of 40 mm wide (contact surface on the
frame in a longitudinal direction).

Electrical installation

3.3.1 Electrical values
All relevant electrical values are specified on the sticker
on the reverse of the module.
3.3.2 General safety instructions
| Carry out the cabling in accordance with the applicable
regulations.
| Make sure that the cables and connections are not
damaged. Protect the cables from damage.
Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire and injury
from electric arc.
| Do not disconnect connections under load.
| Make sure there is adequate protection
against contact with live parts.
| Only use insulated tools.
3.3.3 Parallel and series connection
Modules of the same type can be connected in parallel or
in series. Modules from the Conergy PowerPlus series
are essentially designed for series connection.
Material damage due to connection errors.
| Only use modules of the same type and out-
put for series and parallel connection.
CAUTION
| Make sure that the number of modules and
their connections correspond with the electri-
cal values specified by the devices connected
to the photovoltaic system.
| Make sure that the polarity is correct.
