1. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY • The installation, handling and use of Trina Solar crystalline modules are beyond company control. Trina Solar does not assume any responsibility for loss, damage, injury or expense resulting from the 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.
• Where common grounding hardware (nuts, bolts, star washers, spilt-ring lock washers, flat washers and the like) is used to attach a listed grounding/bonding device, the attachment must be made in conformance with the grounding device manufacturer's instructions.
TSM-xxxDD14A(II) TSM-xxxPE14H(II) TSM-xxxDE14H(II) Date: 2018.7.16 Please check the related UL description files when checking the fire protection rank of the BOM concerned Doc No: PS-M-0434 Ver.
• For cUL listed products only: Fire class rating: C • The fire rating of the module is valid only when mounted in the manner specified in the mechanical mounting instructions. • The module is considered to be in compliance with UL1703 only when the module is mounted in the manner specified by the mounting instructions.
• If pallets are stored temporarily outside then place a protective covering over the pallet to protect it from direct weathering and do not stack more than 1 pallet high. • Two people are required to unpack the modules from the packing box, when handling modules always use both hands. • Protect the module edges for temporary storage outside the pallet. • Do NOT use a knife to cut the zip-ties, but use wire cutting pliers. • Do NOT place modules directly on top of each other. 4.
same inverter channel. • If solar modules (except for smart module) on the same installation are mounted at different angles or orientations then energy production can normally be optimized by connecting the different orientations to different inverters (or different MPPT if the inverter has more than one MPPT). Refer to inverter manufacturers for further guidelines.

Mounting with Clamps • Trina Solar has tested its modules with a number of clamps from different manufacturers and recommends the use of clamps which have an EPDM or similar insulating washer, fixing bolt of at least M6.
• • • • Modules clamps should not come into contact with the front glass and must not deform the frame. Be sure to avoid shadowing effects from the module clamps. The module frame is not to be modified under any circumstances. When choosing this type of clamp-mounting method, use at least four clamps on each module, two clamps should be attached on each long sides of the module (for portrait orientation) or each short sides of the module (for landscape orientation).
Attachment to the long frame Clamping system This is Only for TSM-DC03A.08(II) Attachment to the short frame Clamping system This is Only for TSM-PC05B Other mounting configurations can be used. However, failure to comply with the above recommendations will result in a lowering of the load handling (snow/wind load) capabilities below the product specification 5400/2400Pa (IEC), 30 lbs.ft2 (UL1703) and product failure as a result of an overload situation will not be covered by the Trina Solar warranty.

• Grounding wire size (6 to 12 AWG solid bare copper) should be selected and installed underneath the wire binding bolt. • The wire binding bolt should be tightened to the proper torque of 45lbf.in. • The Tyco grounding bolt is only listed for use with 6 to 12 AWG bare solid copper wire. Method 3: ERICO grounding bolt # EL6CS14-6 Figure 6.
• • • • TCvoc Thermal coefficient of open circuit voltage for the module (refer to data sheet) Tmin The lowest ambient temperature Each module have two standards 90°C sunlight resistant output cables each terminated with plug & play connectors. The wire type and gauge of the output cables are 1000V (For TSM-PE05A.**, PE14A.** which are 1500V DC) rated PV Wire cable and are 12AWG in size. This cable is suitable for applications where wiring is exposed to the direct sunlight.
includes a transformer as well as proper grounding of the negative DC leg of the PV array. • Choose inverters with isolation transformers in hot and wet areas (such as shores, wetlands), to ensure proper module function under positive voltage. 8. MAINTENANCE AND CARE • A well designed solar system requires minimal maintenance; however, system performance and reliability can be improved by taking some simple steps.
module output to prevent battery discharge at night. • Product Replacement: In the event that a module is damaged (broken glass or scratch on back sheet) and needs to be replaced then Observe the safety precautions listed earlier in the manual Wear cut resistant gloves and other personal protective equipment required for the particular installation. Isolate the impacted array string to prevent current flow before attempting to remove the module.
