General safety information
The operation and maintenance of a PV system
require a substantial level of technical knowledge .
Therefore, any work on the system may only be
carried out by qualified and authorized personnel.
Make sure to read these mounting instructions
carefully before installing, commissioning or ser-
vicing the PV system and keep these instructions
in a well accessible location . Failure to comply with
these safety instructions may result in personal in-
jury and product damage . Please keep children
away!
We strive to be the leader in innovation and re-
search, while continuing to improve our products .
For this reason we reserve the right to make
changes to this installation guide without prior no-
tice .
Important safety instructions
The use of these modules must comply with origi-
nal design purposes . The modules should not be
altered technically . When mounting, make sure
that the valid local building regulations, standards
and accident prevention regulations are adhered
to . Make sure that all required safety instructions
for the mounting and operation of any further sys-
tem components are also adhered to . Further-
more, the general technical preliminary remarks of
CENTROSOLAR AG apply . See www .centrosolar .

Installation Guide
Warning: Extreme Danger due to electrical
shock!
Solar modules generate electricity . When exposed
to light, a voltage occurs, which can be danger-
ous and life-threatening . Even though the individ-
ual modules generate a relatively low voltage of
50 V DC, the voltage will accumulate as soon as
several modules are connected in series . Modules
connected in parallel result in accumlation of the
currents . Although the fully insulated plug contacts
are designed to protect against accidental contact,
the following instructions must be followed when
handling the solar modules in order to avoid com-
bustion, spark formation and, above all, fatal elec-
trical shocks:
Never insert electrically conducting pieces into
P P
the plugs and sockets!
Do not wear metallic jewelry during mechanical
P P
and electrical installation!
Keep the tools and work area dry! Only in-
P P
stall solar modules and wires with dry plugs
and sockets!
Maintain utmost caution and care! When
P P
working on the wires, always use both tools
and gloves which are insulated!
Do not disassemble the modules! Never re-
P P
move parts or name plates fitted by the man-
ufacturer! Only use flawless modules! Do
not treat the back side of the modules with
sharp objects, paints or adhesives!
Do not expose modules to artificially con-
P P
centrated sunlight
It is absolutely necessary that the wiring of the
modules is only carried out by qualified and au-
thorized personnel!
