Sharp NU-JC420B Installation Manual

SIM04E-0011PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE PV MODULES.PLEASE PASS ALONG THE ATTACHED USER MANUAL TO YOUR CUSTOMER.INSTALLATION MANUAL– Crystalline Photovoltaic Module –# IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS p.1# GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS p.1 ~ p.3# INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES- p.4# ELECTRICAL OUTPUT AND THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS p.4# Annex (normative) p.5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSThis manual contains important safety instructions for the PV modulethat must be followed during the maintenance of PV modules.To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicingunless you are qualified to do so.1. The installation must be performed by a certified installer/servicer to ensure system integrity and safety.2. The installation is only allowed after referring andunderstanding of this INSTALLATION MANUAL. If you don’thave your personal copy, please contact your installer or localSHARP office listed in SHARP Solar web site : URL : http://global.sharp/solar/en/3. Do not pull the PV cables.4. Do not touch any surface of PV module.5. Do not place/drop objects onto the PV modules.6. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the PV module byyourself.7. Do not drop the PV module.8. Do not damage, pull, bend, or place heavy material on cables.9. Upon completion of any service or repairs, ask theinstaller/servicer to perform routine checks to determine thatthe PV modules are in safe and proper operating condition.10. When replacement parts are required, be sure theinstaller/servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer withsame characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorizedsubstitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazard.11. Consult your local building and safety department for requiredpermits and applicable regulations.12. As a result of sliding snow, the mechanical load increases whenthe number of PV module rows in the matrix of a PV installationincreases. When mounting the PV module in the portraitorientation for more than 3 rows, the accumulated snow loadmay cause the lower edge of the PV module frame to deform.Take necessary measures (e.g. snow stopper) to avoidpossible damage.13. Periodically remove any overhanging snow and/or ice from thePV module framework as it may cause deformation of the PVmodule frame.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS1. INTRODUCTIONThis INSTALLATION MANUAL contains essential information for the electrical and mechanical installation that you must knowbefore installing SHARP PV modules. This also contains safety information you need to be familiar with. All the informationdescribed in this manual are the intellectual property of SHARP and based on the technologies and experiences that have beenacquired and accumulated in the long history of SHARP. This document does not constitute a guaranty, expressed or implied.SHARP does not assume responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for loss, damage, or expense arising out of or in any wayconnected with installation, operation, use or maintenance of the PV modules. No responsibility is assumed by SHARP for anyinfringement of patents or other rights of third parties that may result from use of PV module. SHARP reserves the right to makechanges to the product, specifications or INSTALLATION MANUAL without prior notice.2. COMPONENTS 3. GENERAL INFORMATION(INCLUDING WARNING AND SAFETY)The installation of PV modules requires a great degree of skilland should only be performed by a qualified licensedprofessional, including licensed contractors and licensedelectricians. Please be aware that there is a serious risk ofvarious types of injury occurring during the installation includingthe risk of electric shock. All SHARP PV modules are equippedwith permanently attached junction boxes that will acceptvariety of wiring applications or with a special cable assemblyfor ease of installation, and they do not require special assembly.GENERAL WARNING1. PV modules are heavy. Handle with care.2. Before you attempt to install, wire, operate and maintainthe PV module, please make sure that you completelyunderstand the information described in thisINSTALLATION MANUAL.3. Contact with electrically active parts of a PV module suchas terminals can result in burns, sparks and lethal shockwhether the PV modules are connected or not.4. PV modules produce electricity when the sufficient sunlightor other sources illuminate the PV module surface. Whenthe PV modules are connected in series, voltage iscumulative. When the PV modules are connected inparallel, current is cumulative. As a result, a large-scale PVsystem can produce high voltage and current which couldMODELNU-JC420BCAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGETo reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch.Solar Photovoltaic CellJunction BoxGlassFrameConnectorElectriclal Cable
