3 Safety instructions
General safety
Also observe the safety instructions and stipulations issued by the vehicle manufacturer and autho-
rized workshops.
WARNING! Electrocution hazard
Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
• Solar panels generate direct current and are sources of electricity when exposed to sunlight or other
light sources. Do not come into contact with the live parts of the solar panel, such as the terminals,
as this can result in burns, sparks and fatal shock whether the module is connected or disconnected.
• Do not install solar panels when the solar panels are exposed to sunlight or other light sources. Cov-
er all solar panels with an opaque cloth or material to prevent the production of electricity when in-
stalling or working with solar panels or wiring.
• Installation and removal of the solar panel may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
• Do not operate the solar panel if any component is visibly damaged.
• If this device's power cable is damaged, the power cable must be replaced by the manufacturer, a
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent safety hazards.
• The solar panel may only be repaired by qualified personnel. Improper repairs can lead to consider-
able hazards.
If you disassemble the device:
• Detach all connections.
• Ensure that no voltage is present on any of the inputs and outputs.
• Only use accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not modify or adapt any of the components in any way.
WARNING! Risk of injury
Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
When exposed to direct sunlight, the solar panels can heat up to a temperature of up to 70 °C (158 °F).
Do not come into contact with the surface of the solar panels to avoid burns.
WARNING! Health hazard
Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
• This device can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physi-
cal, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given su-
pervision or instruction concerning use of the device in a safe way and understand the hazards in-
volved.
•Electrical devices are not toys. Always keep and use the device out of the reach of very young
children.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
11
EN
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Ensure that other objects cannot cause a short circuit at the contacts of the device.
• Ensure that the negative and positive poles never come into contact.
• Do not step or lean on the solar panels.
• Do not put excessive load on the glass or back sheet of the solar panels as this may break the cells or
cause micro cracks.
• Store the solar panel in a safe place before mounting or after dismounting. Protect the solar panels
from falling over or down.
Installing the device safely
DANGER! Explosion hazard
Failure to obey these warnings will result in death or serious injury.
Never mount the device in areas where there is a risk of gas or dust explosion.
WARNING! Risk of injury
Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
If you install the solar panel on a roof:
• Do not carry out installation and mounting in strong winds.
• Protect yourself and other persons from falling down.
• Prevent the possible falling of objects.
• Secure the work area so that no other person can be injured.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Improperly mounted solar panels can get loose and fall down. Do not use silicone or any adhesive other
than the recommended one to ensure optimum adhesion.
Safety when connecting the device electrically
WARNING! Electrocution hazard
Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
• The electrical installation may only be connected by qualified personnel and only in accordance
with the national regulations. Incorrect connection may cause severe hazards.
• If you are working on electrical systems, ensure that there is somebody close at hand who can help
you in emergencies.
• Observe the recommended cable cross-sections.
• Lay the cables so that they cannot be damaged by the doors or the hood. Crushed cables can lead
to serious injury.
12
EN
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Do not exceed the current and voltage ratings of the solar charge controller. Only install solar pan-
els up to the maximum power rating of the used solar charge controller. If your solar system exceeds
these ratings, contact your dealer for a suitable solar charge controller.
• Use ductwork or cable ducts if it is necessary to lay cables through metal panels or other panels with
sharp edges.
• Do not lay the 230 V mains cable and the 12 V cable in the same duct.
• Do not lay the cable so that it is loose or heavily kinked.
• Fasten the cables securely.
• Do not pull on the cables.
Operating the device safely
DANGER! Electrocution hazard
Failure to obey these warnings will result in death or serious injury.
Do not touch exposed cables with your bare hands.
WARNING! Risk of injury
Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
At the beginning of each trip and at regular intervals during each trip, check that the solar panels are firm-
ly attached to the roof. An incorrectly mounted solar panel can fall off during the journey and injure other
road users.
CAUTION! Explosion hazard
Failure to obey these warnings could result in minor or moderate injury.
Do not operate the device under the following conditions:
• In the vicinity of corrosive fumes
• In the vicinity of combustible materials
• In areas where there is a risk of explosions
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Avoid heavy shocks and vibration while driving.

6 Target Group
The electrical power supply must be connected by a qualified electrician who has demonstrated skill and
knowledge related to the construction and operation of electrical equipment and installations, and who
is familiar with the applicable regulations of the country in which the equipment is to be installed and/or
used, and has received safety training to identify and avoid the hazards involved.
7 Intended use
The solar panel is intended to convert sunlight into direct current (DC) to charge rechargeable 12 V batteries in vehi-
cles or boats while driving or supply them with a float voltage for power generation. The battery power can addition-
ally be used as a stable power supply to operate DC-powered devices connected to the battery. The solar panel is
suitable for:
• Installation on caravans and motor homes
• Stationary or mobile use
• Extreme operating conditions (expedition use)
• Wind speeds up to 225 km/h

8 Technical description
The solar panels are particularly flat and bonded directly to the vehicle roof. The solar panels can be applied to slight-
ly curved roof surfaces.
The solar system can be extended by further solar panels of the same power.
The solar charge controller (accessories) is connected between the solar panels and the battery to ensure the correct
charging current of the batteries and to protect the batteries against over voltage and deep discharge.
9 Installing the solar panel
WARNING! Electrocution hazard
Completely cover all solar panels with an opaque material during installation to prevent electricity from
being generated.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Ensure that the junction box (accessories) and the roof duct (accessories) are properly sealed and that the
roof duct is glued tightly to the roof so that no moisture can leak into the junction box or through the roof.
Installation location
When selecting the installation location, consider the following:
• The mounting surface must be even and stable enough to support the solar panel.
• Ensure that the designated mounting surface is sufficiently dimensioned.
•Observe the maximum flexibility of the solar panel (see fig.).
• Ensure there is enough room to access the solar panels and other fixed components for future maintenance.
• Ensure not to block any existing ventilation openings on the vehicle.
• Shading can reduce the performance of the solar panel. Ensure that fixed components, such as air condition-
ers or opened satellite antennas, do not shade the solar panel.
• Choose a location with direct sunlight for optimal performance.
• Place several solar panels as close to each other as possible.
• Do not glue the solar panels or roof ducts to rubberized surfaces (e.g. exterior planking), as the adhesion of the
glue is not guaranteed.
