Technology
®Arc Fault Circuit Interruption Integrated
The Fronius Arc Fault Circuit Interruption (AFCI) is the best of its kind in the industry. The
technology makes each inverter NEC 2011 compliant and maintains some of the most
civilized, integrated technology available today. Ensuring the utmost safety, AFCI shuts
down the inverter in the event of an arc fault.
Flexible Design.
®_ Two MPP trackers combined with a high system voltage and wide input voltage range '
guarantee maximum flexibility. Every DC input, and therefore every MPP tracker, is able
to accommodate the entire nominal output of the inverter. The result: an inverter for every
application. Thanks to a new MPP tracking algorithm, a single inverter can cope with any -
challenge — including different roof orientations, shading of one or two strings, or the use
of residual modules. - - -
®Integrated Wi-Fi ,.. .
Simple, user-friendly system monitoring is very important to Fronius. With the Fronius
Datamanager 2.0, we are the first inverter manufacturer to offer a VN-Fi interface in the .
inverter itself. The inverter is connected to the internet without additional cabling and �-
grants you the perfect overview of how the PV system is operating.
SnaplNverrter Hinge Mounting System
The special feature in the design of our devices is that the connection compartment is
separate from the power stage set compartment. They are installed separately. The _
connection area and all its cabling is fitted to the wall first. The power stage set
compartment is fitted afterwards. The innovative SnaplNverter mounting system makes -
installation and servicing extremely user-friendly. The inverter is simply placed in the wall ` J
bracket and then secured. It is not necessary to remove the entire inverter for servicing, -
just the power stage set compartment. All the cabling, settings and configurations remain - C
in place.
J ,
®Field Serviceable for Lowest Cost of Ownership a
The foundation of the unique PC board replacement process is laid as we develop our r '
inverters, as PC boards can only be replaced if the device has been designed
accordingly. This enables our Fronius Service Providers to provide the fastest inverter
servicing on the market.

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
This general manual provides important safety information relating to the installation, maintenance and handling of
CS -series solar modules. System users and professional installers should read this manual carefully and strictly
follow the instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, injury or property damage. The
installation of solar modules requires specialized skills and should only be performed by licensed professionals.
The word "module" Or "PV module" used in this manual refers to one or more CS -Series Solar Modules.
Please retain this manual for future reference. It is recommended to regularly check online for the most updated
version.
1.11.1 DISCL IA MER OF INSTALLATION MANUA I tM A-
�- The information contained in this manual is subject to change by Canadian Solar Inc. without prior notice. Canadian
Solar Inc. makes no warranty of any kind whatsoever, either explicitly or implicitly, with respect to the information
contained herein. "
1.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Canadian Solar Inc. shall not be held responsible for damages of any kind, including without limitation bodily harm,
injury and property damage, relating to module handling, system installation, or compliance or non-compliance with
the instructions set forth in this manual. -
2.0SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - - --
�' Warning: All instructions should be read and understood before attempting to install, wire, operate
j and/or maintain the module. Module interconnects pass direct current (DC) when exposed to
sunlight or other light sources. Contact with electrically active parts of the module, such as .
terminals, can result in injury or death, whether the module is connected or disconnected.

General Safety
• All installations must be performed in compliance with all applicable regional and local codes such as, the latest
National Electrical Code (USA) or Canadian Electric Code (Canada) or other national or international electrical
standards.
• Wear suitable protection (non -slip gloves, clothes, etc.) to prevent direct contact with 30VDC or greater, and to
protect your hands from sharp edges during the installation. -
• Use electrical insulated tools to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Remove all metallic jewelry prior to installation to reduce the chance of accidental exposure to live circuits.
• Cover the front of the modules in the PV array with an opaque material to halt production of electricity when
installing or working with a module or wiring.
c • Do not install or handle the modules when they are wet or during periods of high wind. - -
• Do not use or install broken modules. '
• If the front glass is broken, or the back sheet is torn, contact with any module surface or the frame can cause electric
shock.
• Keep the junction box cover closed at all times. -
• Do not attempt to repair any part of the module. There're no serviceable parts within the PV module.
• Do not disassemble a module or remove any module part.
• Do not artificially concentrate sunlight on a module.
• Do not connect or disconnect modules when current from the modules or an external source is present.
3.0 -MECHANICAL / ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The module electrical ratings are measured under Standard Test Conditions (STC) of 1 kW/m' irradiance with an -
AM 1.5 spectrum, and cell temperature of 25°C. The detailed electrical and mechanical characteristics of Canadian
Solar Inc. crystalline silicon PV modules can be found in table A-2 of this manual (see Annex). Main electrical
characteristics at STC also appear on each module label. The maximum system voltage for all module series is 600 V.
Under certain conditions, a module may produce more current or voltage than its Standard Test Conditions (STC)
rated power. Accordingly, a module's open -circuit voltage and short-circuit current at STC should be multiplied by
1.25 when determining component ratings and capacities. An additional 1.25 multiplier for a short-circuit current (for a
total of 1.56), for sizing conductors and fuses may be applicable, as described in section 690-8 of U.S. NEC.

5.0 MODULE INSTALLATION ' ~�
Precautions and General Safety
• Before installing modules, contaclthe appropriate authorities for site, installation and inspection
permission and requirement.
;,. • Check applicable building codes to ensure that the construction or structure (roof, facade, support,
etc.) can withstand the module system load.
• When installing the modules, please ensure the assembly is mounted over a fire resistant roof
covering rated for the application. Canadian Solar modules have been listed as Class C according to
UL790 standard.
• CAUTION: In any case DO NOT STAND OR STEP on the modules, as localized high loads may
induce severe micro -cracks at the cell level, which in turn may compromise module reliability. Failure
to comply with above caution will void Canadian Solar Inc warranty.
Environmental conditions
• The module is intended for use in general open climates, as defined in IEC 60721-2-1: Classification of
environmental conditions Part 2-1: Environmental conditions appearing in nature - temperature and humidity.
• Do not install modules near naked flames or flammable materials.
• Do not expose modules to artificially concentrated light sources.
• Do not immerse modules in water or constantly expose modules to water (either fresh or salt) (i.e. from fountains,
sea spray).
• Exposing modules to salt (i.e. marine environments) and sulfur (i.e. sulfur sources, volcanoes) risks module
corrosion.
Requirements of installation
• Ensure that the module meets the technical requirements of the system as a whole.
• Ensure that other systems components do not exert damaging mechanical or electrical influences on the modules.
• Modules can be wired in a series to increase voltage or in parallel to increase current. To connect in series, connect
cables from the positive terminal of one module to the negative terminal of the next module. To connect in parallel,
connect cables from the positive terminal of one module to the positive terminal on the next module.
• Quantity of bypass diodes provided can vary depending on model series.
• Connect the quantity of modules that match the voltage specifications of the inverters used in the system. Modules
must NOT be connected together to create a voltage higher than the permitted maximum system voltage, even under
the worst local temperature conditions.
• Similar electrical performance modules should be connected in the same series to avoid or minimize mismatch
effects in arrays.
• To minimize risk in the event of an indirect lightning strike, avoid forming loops when designing the system.
• The recommended maximum series fuse rating is tabulated in annex.
• Modules should be firmly fixed in place in a manner suitable to withstand all expected loads, including wind and
snow loads. A minimum clearance of 6.5 mm (1/4 of an inch) or more between modules is required to allow for thermal
expansion of the frames.
• Small openings for water draining on the underside of the module should not be blocked after mounting.
Optimum orientation and tilt
• Find out the optimum orientation and till of the PV modules for your region to achieve the maximum annual yield.
Generation of maximum power occurs when sunlight shines perpendicularly onto the PV modules.
Avoid shading
• Even the slightest partial shading (e.g., from dirt deposits) will cause a reduction in yield. A module is considered
"shadow -free" if it is unobstructed across its entire surface for the whole year. Even on the shortest day of the year,
unobstructed sunlight can reach the module.
Reliable ventilation
• Sufficient clearance (at least 10 cm) between the module frame and the mounting surface is required to allow for
cooling air to circulate around the back of the module. This also allows for condensation or moisture to dissipate.

5.1 MODULE WIRING
Correct wiring scheme
When designing the system, avoid forming loops (to minimize risk in the event ofan indirect lighting strike). Make
sure that wiring is correct before starting up the system. If the measured open circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit
current (Isc) differ from the specifications, then there is a wiring fault
Correct connection of plug connectors
• Make sure that the connection is safe and tight Thep I ug connector should not receive outer stress. The connector
should only be used to connect the circuit. It should never be used to turn the circuit on and off.
Use of suitable materials
Use special solar cable and suitable plugs only (wiring should be placed in conduit that is sunlight -resistant or, if
exposed, should be sunlight -resistant) in accordance with local fire, building and electrical code. Ensure that they are
in perfect electrical and mechanical condition.
The permitted type ofsolar cable is single conductor cable listed and labeled as USE -2 or PV Wire, 90eC wet rated,
with proper insulation to withstand the maximum possible system open -circuit voltage. The conductor material should
use copper only. Select a suitable conductor gauge to minimize voltage drop and ensure conductor antpacity complies
with local regulations (such as NEC 690.8(D)).
Cable protection
• Secure the cables to the mounting system using UV -resistant cable ties. Protect exposed cables front damage with
appropriate precautions (e.g. locate them within plastic conduit). Avoid exposure to the direct sunlight.
5.2 GROUNDING ' I
• Although the modules are certified to safely class II, it is required that they be grounded. And the module installation
complies with all local electrical codes and regulations. `
• The earth grounding connection should be made by a qualified electrician.
• Connect module frames to each other using suitable grounding conductor. Holes provided for this purpose are
identified with a green label.
• Use 6-12 AWG (4.14 mm') copper wire only. The bolts, nuts, flat washers, lock washers or other relevant hardware
should be made of stainless steel, unless otherwise specified.
• All the junctions on the conductive connection must be fixed. Metal containing iron in the conductive connection
should be made with stainless steel or be treated against corrosion by anodizing, spray -painting, or galvanization to
prevent rusting and corrosion.
• Grounding hardware is not provided by Canadian Solar Inc.
• One grounding method approved by North -American certification bodies (CSA, and Interlek) is recommended for
Canadian Solar modules, as described below. For alternative CSA and Interlek qualified grounding methods, please
refer to Annex B.
Method S: Bolt +Nut with teeth + Cup washer
When diameter of the grounding holes is 5mm (CSA certified).
• A grounding kit with M5 size SS cap boll, M5 size SS flat washer, M5 size SS
cup washer, and M5 size SS nut (with teeth) is used to attach a copper grounding
wire to grounding hole pre -drilled on the frame (see picture below).
• Attach the wire between the flat washer and the cup washer. Ensure the cup
washer is between the frame and wire with concave side up to prevent corrosion
due to dissimilar metal. Tighten the bolt securely using the SS nut with teeth. A
wrench may be used in this application. The lightening torque is 1 Nm.

The mounting design must be certified by a registered professional engineer. The mounting design and
procedures shall comply with local electrical and building codes.
Mounting hardware is not provided by Canadian Solar Inc.
Canadian Solar Inc. modules can be mounted to a support structure by several approved methods, either using
the mounting holes located on the back frame (see Example A), or by means of clamps (see Example B). For
other installation hardware, please contact your local representative for further information. Failure to use a
recognized installation method will void Canadian Solar Inc warranty.
Only the bolting method has been qualified by North -American certification bodies (CSA, and Intertek) during testing
and listing of Canadian Solar modules according to UL1703 standard. For inlay -systems or other installation
hardware, please contact your local representative for further information. Alternative mounting methods qualified
internally by Canadian Solar Inc. are described in Annex C.
Example A: Example B:
Bolting (INTERTEK and CSAqualified) Clamping on (INTERTEK qualified)
Use appropriate corrosion -proof fastening materials. All mounting hardware (bolt/spring washer/flat washer/nut)
should be made with stainless steel M6 size for bolting method (A), and M8 size for clamping method (B).
Use a torque wrench for installation. The above figure shows methods of fastening module to support structure.
Tightening torques should respectively be within 4-6 Nm and 10-17 Nm for M6xl (Example A) and M8x1.5 (Example
B) coarse thread bolts, depending on bolt class. Different recommendations from. specific clamping hardware
suppliers should prevail.
Canadian Solar Inc. modules can be installed in either landscape or portrait position, refer to the detailed
instructions (see table 6-1) for further guidance. Note that further countermeasures such the use of additional support
bars should be considered in heavy snow areas (> 2400 Pa), to avoid damage by the snow accumulating in the lowest
row of modules.
When the addition of a support bar is recommended to enhance mechanical stability and module long term
performance reliability, material of suitable resistance should be selected. Canadian Solar Inc recommends a
minimum thickness of 50mm for the bar. The support bar centerline should be positioned within 100 mm of the side
-frame centerline (slight shift may be necessary to access module grounding hole).

8.1 MOUNTING METHOD: BOLTING — -
• Modules should be bolted to support structures through mounting holes located in the frame's back flanges only. Do
not drill additional holes or modify the module frame. Doing so will void the warranty.
• Each module must be securely fastened at a minimum of 4 points on two opposite sides, using the most inner
mounting holes. If additional wind loads are anticipated for this installation, additional mounting points should be
used. System designer and installer are responsible for load calculations and for proper support structure design.
• Modules should be bolted at the following hole locations depending on the configuration and load:

Technical notes
• For NewEdge module frames (NewEdge series: CS5A-xxxMX, CS6A-xxxPX and CS6P-xxxPX models), please refer
to the most updated IM/NEWE-EN technical note (INTERTEK & CSA certified).
• For CS5A-M-L laminate models only, floating clamped configuration should be used. Please refer to the most
updated IM/LAM-EN technical note (CSA certified)
7.0 MAINTENANCE
• Regular maintenance is required to keep modules clear of snow, bird droppings, seeds, pollen, leaves, branches,
dirt spots and dust.
• If a module has a sufficient till (at least 15o), it generally is not necessary to clean the modules (rainfall will have a
self-cleaning effect). When there is a noticeable buildup of soiling deposits on the module surface, wash the PV array
with water and a gentle cleaning implement (a sponge) during the cool part of the day. Dirt must never be scraped or
rubbed away when dry, as this will cause micro -scratches.
• If snow is present, a brush with soft bristles can be used to clean the surface of the module.
• Periodically inspect the system to make sure all wiring and supports stay intact.
• If you need electrical or mechanical inspection or maintenance, it is recommended to have a licensed, authorized
professional carry out the job to avoid hazards of electric shock or injury.
• Do not change the PV components (diode, junction box, plug connectors).

Device concept The.Rapid Shutdown Box provides a convenient and safe way to comply with Article
690.12 in the 2014 Edition of the National Electrical Code. The device is powered directly
by the PV array and is controlled depending on the state of the signal port. This signal port
can be controlled by a relay terminal in the inverter. The use of a DC relay, which also func-
tions.as a switch-disconnector, ensures that the PV field is galvanically isolated in the case
of a Rapid Shutdown.
The Rapid Shutdown Box ensures that residual energy in the, capacitors of the inverter is
discharged within the required time period. To ensure that the entire system functions cor-
rectly, the signal ports of all Rapid Shutdown Boxes must be serially connected (see sec-
tion "Connecting the Rapid Shutdown Box"). For this purpose, Single and Multi variants of
the device can be mixed randomly.
t
The Rapid Shutdown can be initialized by means of AC failure if the signal lines are con-
nected to the inverter. Alternatively or additionally, an emergency stop button that inter-
rupts the signal wires can be used.

Service code 307 The service codes on an inverter that is part of a PV system_containing a Rapid Shutdown
on the inverter , Box can indicate a potential malfunction.
Service code 307 on the display of the inverter:
Description: At the input, the inverter identifies a DC voltage too low for the grid power feed
operation. If the service code occurs for a lengthy period of time in spite of solar radiation,
the following steps can help discovering the error.
Check the position of the DC disconnector at the inverter it should be ON
- Read the DC voltage on the display or measure it at the inverter terminals
- If the DC voltage is 0 V, this means that either the Rapid Shutdown Box is not sup-
plied with power from the pv array or there is no electrical connection between the
Rapid Shutdown Box and the inverter. Check DC cabling including Rapid Shut-
down Box inputs. Rapid Shutdown Box Multi: At least one string has to be con-
;nected at input 1.
If the DC voltage is 28 V, this means that the Rapid Shutdown Box is supplied with
power and is waiting for approval at the signal ports. Check cabling of the signal
loop and position of any switches in the signal loop.
if the service code still occurs in spite of solar radiation, contact your system engineer.
Initiating Rapid Depending on the configuration and the installation situation on site there are two
Shutdown possibilitys to initate Rapid Shutdown:
Via loss of AC: If you connected the Signal loop to the inverter (see Section ... ), you
can initiate Rapid Shutdown by disconnecting the AC connection of the inverter (e.g.
at the service panel). In such a case the inverter detects the loss of AC and triggers
the Rapid Shutdown Boxes in order to isolate the PV array from the controlled conduc-
tors and discharge them.
- Via external switch: If the initiation via loss of AC is not suitable or additional possibil-
ities are required you can install external switches in the Signal loop (see Section ...).
If so, Rapid Shutdown can be initiated by pressing onelof those switches to trigger the
Rapid Shutdown Boxes in order to isolate the PV array from the controlled conductors
and discharge them.
a
Resetting after In order to start-up a PV system after Rapid Shutdown:
Rapid Shutdown - Release the switch that was used to initate Rapid Shutdown in the first place to the
closed position
- Check all other external switches installed in the Signal loop for correct position
(closed)
- If the Signal loop is connected to the inverter ACS must be present to restart.

FRONIUS RAPID SHUTDOWN BOX MOUNTING OPTIONS
For Rail and Rail -less systems on L -feet, stand-offs, and other attachment types
Summary
The Fronius Rapid Shutdown Boxes (RSBs), Multi- and
Single string versions, are designed for wall and roof -top
mounting with 600V maximum rated PV systems. Any
mounting design must consider PV source circuit wire runs
and PV output circuit conduit runs. Both RSBs include
water -tight glands/connectors for PV source circuit inputs
(PV Wire, USE -2, etc.) and a pre -drilled hole for the PV
output circuit using home -run wiring (THHN, THWN-2, etc.)
inside appropriate conduit. To maintain the box's NEMA 4X
rating, only water -tight fittings should be used and unused
gland fittings should be plugged with included black plugs.
The wall mounting is achieved with wood, metal, or masonry
fasteners through fabricated holes in the base of the RSB.
Roof -top mounting can vary depending on the mounting
system and roofing material. In general, the included bracket
is attached to the rail of a rail -based system but a different
attachment method might be required if using a rail -less
system. For ideal aesthetics, the RSB may be installed
under the array unless there is insufficient vertical clearance;
it should fit between the roof surface and the rear of the
module while providing an air gap for each, as determined
by the local AHJ. Please review Appendix A for the NEC
code regarding installation of an electrical box under a PV
module, and access to the provided DC disconnect.
Wall Mounting
i
SHIFTING THE LIMITS
Figure 1: Fronius Rapid Shutdown Box installation
If a portion of the array is within 10 feet of a vertical surface (wall, side of
dormer, parapet, etc.), it can be mounted onto that surface. In this case,
mount the RSB without the included bracket, being mindful of providing room
for the conduit run back to the inverter. Four anchors are needed (as
illustrated)
Roof Mounting
Since the RSBs are NEMA 4x rated, they can be placed horizontally,
vertically, or tilted on a roof. When mounted to racking via the bracket, the
un -affixed end is providing additional stability by the conduit attachment.

Rail, -based System
The larger mounting bracket is designed for bolting to the top or side of a rail. Most rail 'systems provide top and
side channels for mounting the bracket with bolts also supplied with the mounting system. The most common bolt is
a T -bolt and this often is the same bolt for top and side channels.

.. o
G SHIFTING THE LIMITS
The top -mounting channel design of the multi -string mounting bracket mimics commonly used microinverter or
optimizer (aka, MLPE device) brackets. Thus this bracket will also fasten to most rail top channels just like MLPEs ..
with similar bracketing. However, the RSB is generally taller than MLPEs'which may preclude attachment under a
module.
a
Even proprietary rail systems should work if their bolting
method also works for MLPE devices, as seen at right in this V z
SnapN'Rack rail system. €X,y'..
Height Matters ;
„ a
The ability to fasten to the top or side of a rail is --
inconsequential if the RSB doesn't fit under the module or
along the side of the array. Most rail -based systems are
height -adjustable but that's no guarantee of a fit under the
array. Some L -feet are not that tall or adjustable, leaving _ t
insufficient room height -wise. This results in the top bracket
sitting above the top rail or at least the RSB touching the roof.
To avoid this, make sure the dimension from roof face to top of ,
the rail is equal to or greater than the following:
Figure 4: SnapN'Rack's snap in bolting device works in both its
RSB Model & Rail Height top and side rails.
Single -string: 4.0" (10.2 cm)
Multi -string: 4.5" (11.4 cm)
If the height adjustment means provided by the racking system is insufficient, consider third party products: (1)
substituting with a third -party L -foot with greater height (e.g., EcoFasten Solar@ Compression Brackets) (2) or
mounting the footing atop a third -party stanchion (e.g.; ProSolar FastJack@, Quick'Mount PV QBase@) will provide
r greater clearance.

Figure 5: the bracket is in contact with the rail top, but the RSB is touching the roof. Therefore, the RSB
needs to be raised by either adjustable attachment to the side rail or by raising the rail itself.
t
Rail-less System
While rail-based systems are commonly used, rail-less systems are gaining in popularity. The stanchions used to
support and connect adjoining modules often provide a top channel. However, an additional stanchion would likely
be required to provide complete support. This necessitates an additional roof penetration. Some manufacturers
include hardware for attaching boxes (e.g. stanchion bracket from Equilibrium Solar) but they will likely not fit the
RSB footprint or attachment points. So you may need to devise a solid method or just use an attachment method
that is independent of the racking system. ,

z
_ t
Figure 6: for rail-less systems without hardware for attaching junction or combiner boxes, consider adding
another stanchion; if this is not acceptable, consider mounting the RSB directly to the roof (see below).

SHIFTING THE LIMITS
An installer can bypass the hardware limits of their array mounting system if they attach the RSB with a method
independent of the array racking. The RSB may be mounted atop certain stanchions (standoffs) or directly to the
roof deck with deck screws and approved sealant (or roof flashing). Examples are provided below but other
manufacturers may offer similar solutions.
Stanchion / Base Mounting — e.g. Roof Tech
The mounting bracket can be affixed to some stanchions/stand offs/bases. For example, Roof Tech, a rail -less
racking manufacturer, provides a mounting base for which they have offered a fast and simple RSB attachment to
asphalt shingle or metal roofing (see figure 7). Analogous solutions can be devised using other stanchions or stand-
offs or bases (see figures 8 & 9).
