Safety Notes - Westfalia 70 73 31 Bedienungsanleitung

Please note the following notes to avoid malfunctions, damage
and injuries:
This manual belongs to the product. It contains important notes on
operating the unit. Please pass it on along with the unit if it is handed
over to a third party!
Do not leave packaging materials lying around. Plastic bags etc. may
become a deadly toy for children.
For installation and maintenance of solar modules, the regulations and
safety instructions valid for the installation of electrical components and
electrical systems have to be observed.
Do not operate the solar module directly on a battery. Connect between
the solar module and a battery a charge regulator. By doing this you
avoid damaging the connected battery (consumer). A suitable charge
regulator can be ordered from Westfalia under the article no. 36 15 27.
Even in case of minimum illumination the total open-circuit voltage has to
be considered.
If many modules are connected in series, the voltage of the individual
modules will add up.
Only qualified personnel are allowed to work on electrical systems.
When working on the solar module, either properly cover the module up
or disconnect from the consumer. Never disconnect plug-in connections,
terminals and conducting parts of the unit while there are under load.
Dangerous electric arcs can be produced.
Treat the solar module as a glass product. Do not walk on it.
