This is interesting, because we were considering cable trays, too.  My 
guess is that both requirements would apply.  Picky, but I don't see 
that 690 exempts the requirements of 392. One is for PV, one is for over 
600 v.  Some code iteration in the future might have combined language 
for PV over 600 v " Danger - High Voltage Photovoltaic Source - Keep 
Away"  and of course that's so verbose that the average Joe is just 
going to stick his paws in there anyway.....
