Info
All installation steps shown apply to the PFMS2000 and PFMS2500 collectors. However,
the instructions also apply to the collector PFMW2500 (horizontal format) and for the
collector PFMS3300 (but with 3 support profiles instead of 2, see table „Recommendation
for mounting levels"!)
Safety precautions: Before commencing mounting work on roofs, it must
be ensured in all cases that the non-personal fall protection and fall-arrest
systems required by DIN 18338 (Roof Covering and Roof Sealing Works) and
DIN 18451 (Scaffolding Works) are in place. See also Builders' Protection
Ordinance [Bauarbeiterschutzverordnung], Federal Law Gazette 340/ 1994,
paragraphs 7-10! Other country specific regulations must be observed!
If non-personal fall protection or fall-arrest systems cannot be installed
for technical reasons, all personnel must be secured by means of suitable
safety harnesses!
Only use safety harnesses (safety belts, lanyards
and straps, shock absorbers, fall arresters) that were tested and certified
by authorized testing bodies.
If non-personal fall protection or fall-arrest systems are not provided,
working without the use of suitable safety harnesses may lead to falls from
heights and therefore cause serious or lethal injuries!
Ladders not properly secured against sinking in, sliding or falling over may
lead to dangerous falls!
Whenever you are near live overhead electric cables where contact is
possible, only work if:
•
it is ensured that they are voltage-free and this is secured for the
duration of work
•
the live parts are secured by covering them or cordoning them off
•
the prescribed safety distances are maintained
Voltage radius:
1 m voltages up to 1000 V
3 m voltages from 1000 to 11000 V
4 m voltages from 11000 to 22000 V
5 m voltages from 22000 to 38000 V
> 5 m in case of unknown voltages

Only the heat transfer medium specified may be used!
Safety harnesses should be fixed above the users whenever possible.
Safety harnesses should only be fastened to sufficiently load-bearing
structures or fixing points.
Never use damaged ladders (e.g., wooden ladders with split runners
or rungs, or bent or buckled metal ladders). Never try to repair broken
runners, rungs or steps on wooden ladders!
Ensure that ladders are put up safely. Observe the correct leaning angle
(68° - 75°). Prevent ladders from sliding, falling over or sinking into the
ground (e.g. using wider feet, feet suited to the ground or hooking devices).
Only lean ladders against secure points. Secure ladders in traffic areas by
suitable cordoning.
Contact with live electric overhead cables can be lethal.
Wear protective goggles when drilling and handling collectors!
Wear safety shoes when carrying out installation work!
Wear cut-proof safety gloves when mounting collectors!
Wear a helmet when carrying out installation work!
