1. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
The installation, handling and use of Trina Solar Crystalline series modules are beyond company control. Accordingly,
Trina Solar does not assume responsibility for loss, damage, injury or expense resulting from improper installation,
handling, use or maintenance.
Trina Solar assumes no responsibility for any infringement of patents or other rights of third parties that may result
from use of the module. No license is granted by implication or under any patent or patent rights.
Specifications included in this manual are subject to change without prior notice.
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• When designing the SPV system, please always take into consideration the variation of the voltage under different
temperatures (please check the respective temp. coefficients of the modules, the Voc of the modules will be rise
when the temperature drops);
For example: with TSM-190DC01 modules (Max. System voltage is 600V) the maximum series modules configuration
number should NEVER can exceed N= 10 (600V/56.22V = 10.7), taking into consideration the possible variation of the
voltage due to the lowest temperature in winter at specified location can reach -40C.
• We require that every series SPV module string should be fused prior to be connected with other strings. For the
maximum fuse rate, please refer to the detailed specification sheet..
• Solar photovoltaic (SPV) modules generate electricity when exposed to light. An array of many modules can cause
lethal shocks and/or burn hazards. Only authorized and trained personnel should have access to the modules.
• Use properly insulated tools and appropriate protective equipment to reduce risk of electric shock.
• Do not stand or step on the module.
• Do not damage or scratch the front or backside surfaces of the module.
• Never use a module with broken glass or torn substrate. Broken modules cannot be repaired and contact with any
module surface or frame can lead to electrical shock.
• Do not disassemble the modules or remove any part of the module.
• Protect plug contacts against soiling; do not make any plug connections using soiled plug contacts.
• Do not install or handle modules when they are wet or during periods of high wind.
• Do not short the positive and the negative of a single SPV module.
• Do not disconnect under load.
• Make sure connectors have no gap between insulators. A gap can cause fire hazard and/or danger of an electrical
shock.
• Make sure that the polarity of each module or a string is not reversed considering the rest of the modules or strings
• Artificially concentrated sunlight should not be used on the SPV module.
• Maximum system voltage must not exceed 600V DC.
• Under normal conditions, a solar photovoltaic module is likely to produce more current and /or voltage than
reported under standard test conditions. Accordingly, the value of Isc marked on this module should be multiplied
by a factor of 1.25 when determining the conductor current ratings, fuse sizes and size of controls connected to the
SPV output. Refer to Section 690-8 of the National Electric Code for an additional multiplying factor of 1.25 which
maybe applicable.
• Installation in Canada shall be in accordance with CSA C22.1, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, Canadian
Electrical Code Part 1.
3. UNPACKING AND STORAGE
• Before installation, keep all modules and electrical contacts clean and dry.
• If it is necessary to store modules temporarily, a dry, ventilated room should be used.
• When unpacking, carry modules with both hands. Do not place modules on top of each other.
4. PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
We recommend that you take note of the serial number, each individual module has a unique serial number. It is
permanently attached to the backsheet of the module on the product sticker.
