7. WARNING
The items regarding the warning are shown as below and in the installation manual, general
installation manual and user manual.
7.1 Use
(1) Main applications of the modules as follows.
Grid-connected PV systems.
Telemeter system (Terminal) Village electrification etc
(2) Please take proper steps in order to maintain reliability and safety, in case this module
is used for the uses or in areas mentioned below which require high reliability.
Fallen snow area Extremely cold area Strong wind area

Salt water damage area Small island Desert area
Unit concerning control and safety of a vehicle (air plane, train, automobile etc.)
Traffic signal Road sign
Security system Other safety system etc
(3) Please don't use for the uses mentioned below which require extremely high reliability.
Space equipment Telecommunication system (Trunk)
Nuclear control system Medical system (relating to any fatal element) etc.
(4) Please do not connect the modules directly to the loads such as motor since the
variation of the output power depending on the solar irradiation causes the damage
for the connected motor.
1: In case of brush-less motor, the lock function gets active and the hall IC is most
likely to be damaged.
2: In case of the motor with brush, the coil is most likely to be damaged.

7.2 Handling
(1) Never touch the output terminals with bare hands when the module is irradiated.
Cover the surface of the module by sufficiently thick cloth or something suitable to
prevent incident light, and handle the output terminals with rubber-gloved hands not
to receive the electric shock.
(2) Do not drop tools or hard things on the front cover/ back cover of the module. When
broken the front cover of the module, never use the module.
(3) Do not wear a metallic jewelry which may become cause of the electric shock during
installation.
7.3 Installation
(1) When mounting the module on structure, keep the displacement of the forth corner of
the module smaller than 2mm for lOOOmm of the diagonal of the module after other 3
corners are placed on structure.
(2) Be careful in handling polarity of insulated output wires.
(3) This module must be grounded by minus pole. Install modules and ground mounting
structure in accordance with applicable law of each country.
<For US Market>
Details for wiring shall be in accordance with the NEC and grounding method of arrays shall
comply with the NEC. The ground wire must not be smaller than No.12 AWG, and should be
sized according to the NEC. The PV source-circuit overcurrent devices (e.g. Fuses) are

5
 MTA12016F
required to be rated so that the source-circuitconductors are protectedin accordance
with Article240and so that the overcurrent device ratings do not exceed the maximum
overcurrent device rating marked on the modules. Possible backfeed currents from the other
PV source circuits, other supply sources through the inverter, and storage-battery circuits, if
any, have to be considered.
(4) Do not keep PV modules without grounded condition by minus-pole after series
connection, TCO corrosion may be caused.
(5) Consult the government office before the installation of the modules in case that the
permission of the installation is required by law.
(6) The modules shall be installed and maintained by qualified personnel.
(7) Follow safety precautions of the battery manufacture if batteries are used with
modules.
(8) Consult the manufacturer for proper installation on special vehicles such as boats and
campers.
(9) The modules must be mounted using clips on the long sides of the module according to our
installation manual.
(10) Remove the cable securing tapes and the cable holders carefully before installation.
(11) The connections must be completely done and locked.
(12) When removing the connection, the lock part should be pressed.
(13) When removing the connection of Connector type CCT9901-2352F, the dedicated tool
(manufacturer: SMK Corp., No. 306CCT-003-01F) is recommended.
(14) To extend the module connecting leads, the connecting method shall comply with
applicable law of each country.
(15) To extend the module connecting leads, only Multi-Contact connectors (PV-.KST/KBT 4,
as of 19th Nov 2010) or connectors from SMK Corporation (CCT9901-2452F I
CCT9901-2362F or -2352F) can be used in accordance with IEC61646 (ed.2) and
IEC6 l 730 (ed. n.
(16) To extend the module connecting leads, only connectors from SMK Corporation
(CCT9901-2452F I CCT9901-2352F) can be used in accordance with ULl 703.

I -3. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The initial electrical characteristics at STC (standard test conditions) (Irradiance: 1000
Wm-2 with the AMl.5 spectral irradiance distribution, Cell temperature: 25C2C) are
shown in Table I-1 and the nominal electrical characteristics at STC are shown in Table I-2.
Rated electrical characteristics are within 10% of the indicated value of Isc, Voe and
+7%/-2% of Pmax (Power measurement tolerance=3.5%).
The nominal electrical characteristics (Pmax, Voe, Isc, Vmpp, and Impp) are specified based
on the result of the production line test. However, the characteristic of each module measured
by the shipping test varies within tolerance. The warranty conditions are specified in this
manual.

*Nominal values are values calculated from the Table I-I initial values using the results of
light-soaking tests. The tests are performed in accordance with Clauses 10.19.1-10.19.3 of the
Standard for Thin-Film Terrestrial Photovoltaic (PV) Modules - Design qualification and type
approval IEC61646.
These values represent the average value of the seasonal change shown in Fig.I- I.
Furthermore, these characteristics of the installed module are changed according to installation
environment like the ambient temperature.
After installing these modules outdoors, the maximum power declines 10% or more from an
initial value within several days. Then, the maximum output value is changed according to a
season focusing on a nominal value. Our warranty applies to the seasonal change and no
warranty is given as to the bottom of the seasonal change.
Our warranty applies the maximum output power measured by a solar simulator with
Standard Test Condition (STC), (i)after ambient temperature in the sunshine report by the
Meteorological Agency have reached 20 degree C for at least 20 consecutive days or (ii) after
having the modules annealed with the given conditions ( 90 degree C, 48 hour) and having the
light-soaking tests which are performed in accordance with clauses 10.19.1 - 10.19.3 of
IEC61646.

(6) Spectrum sensitivity: The performance changes by the spectrum of the light irradiated. The
electrical characteristics shown in this specification are measured under the simulated
sunlight withAMl.5 spectrum.
(7) Design of system: system design should consider both initial values and nominal values in
the Tables.

NOTE: 1
Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that produce
more current and/or voltage than reported at Standard Test Conditions. Accordingly, the values of
Isc and Voe marked on this module should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining
component voltage ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to
the module output.

< For US market >

Under normal conditions, a PV module may produce more current and/or voltage than reported at
Standard Test Conditions. Accordingly, the values of Isc and Voe marked on UL 1703 listed
modules should be multiplied by a factor of Voc=l.11 and Isc=l.30 at conditions of an irradiance of
125 m W/cm2, AMl.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of minus 10 degree C (plus 14 degree F) for
Voe and plus 75 degree C (167 degree F) for Isc when determining component voltage ratings,
conductor capacities, fuse sizes and size of controls connected to the module output.
Refer to Sec. 690-8 of the Nation.al Electric Code for an additional multiplying factor of Voc=lll %
and Isc=130% (80 percent de-rating) which may be applicable.
Where Canadian UL listing applies, installation shall be in accordance with CSA C22.l, Safety
Standard for Electrical Installations, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
