SHOCK HAZARD: PV ARRAYS PRODUCE HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES AND
CURRENTS WHEN EXPOSED TO LIGHT, WHICH CAN CREATE AN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
SHOCK HAZARD: ENSURE THAT NO LIVE VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT ON ANY
PV INPUT WIRE.
SHOCK HAZARD: ENSURE MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST HAZARDOUS
CONTACT VOLTAGES WHILE ASSEMBLING PHOTOVOLTAIC INSTALLATIONS
BY STRICTLY ISOLATING BOTH THE POSITIVE AND THE NEGATIVE LEADS
FROM ANY GROUNDING.
SHOCK HAZARD: THE DC CONDUCTORS OF THIS PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
ARE UNGROUNDED AND MAY BE ENERGIZED.
SHOCK HAZARD: THE DC CONDUCTORS OF THIS PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
ARE UNGROUNDED BUT WILL BECOME INTERMITTENTLY GROUNDED
WITHOUT INDICATION WHEN THE INVERTER MEASURES THE PV ARRAY
ISOLATION.
SHOCK HAZARD: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE. USE ONLY WITH PV
MODULES WITH A MAXIMUM SYSTEM VOLTAGE OF 570V OR LOWER.
