9. emble the modules or remove any part of the module e Protect plug contacts against soiling do not make any plug connections using soiled plug contacts Do not install or handle modules when they are wet or during periods of high wind e Do not short the positive and the negative of a single SPV module Do not disconnect under load e Make sure connectors have no gap between insulators A gap can cause fire hazard and or danger of an electrical shock e Make sure that the polarity of each module or a string is not reversed considering the rest of the modules or strings Artificially concentrated sunlight should not be used on the SPV module e Maximum system voltage must not exceed 1000V DC e Under normal conditions a SPV module is likely to produce more current and or voltage than reported under standard test conditions Accordingly the value of Isc marked on this module should be multiplied by a factor of 1 25 when determining the conductor current ratings fuse sizes and size of controls connected to the SPV output 3 UNPACKING AND STORAGE Before installation keep all modules and electrical contacts clean and dry e If it is necessary to store modules temporarily a dry ventilated room should be used e When unpacking carry modules with both hands Do not place modules on top of each other 4 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION We recommend that you take note of the serial number each individual module has a unique serial number It is
