1.PLACE ATTACHMENTS <br />The general installation method for attachments is to <br />locate a rafter, drill a pilot hole and install the attachment. <br />For composition roof attachments installation instructions <br />refer to page 10. For tile roof attachments refer to™ <br />12... For low slope roof attachments refer to page 14. <br />When using approved third party attachments, refer to <br />manufacturer's install instructions. <br />Tested or evaluated third-party roof attachments: <br />S-5! Standing Seam Metal Roof Clamps -Certification of metal <br />roof clamps includes bonding to both painted and galvalume <br />metal roofs. Tighten S-5! and S-5! Mini set screws to 130-150 in-lbs(� 24 gauge) or 160-180 in-lbs (22 gauge) roofs. Tighten S-5! M10 bolt <br />to 240 in-lbs or S-5! Mini MS bolt to 160 in-lbs. Use the following fastening guidelines for other S-5! roof clamps: ProteaBracket ™ -firmly <br />seat roof screws and tighten hinge bolt to 225 in-lbs; RibBracket ™ -firmly seat roof screws and tighten MS bolt (MS-1.25 x 22mm sold <br />separately) to 160 in-lbs; and SolarFoot ™ -firmly seat roof screws and tighten MS flange nut to 160 in-lbs. <br />EcoFasten Green Fasten GF-1 Anchors <br />2.PLACE RAILS <br />A.CONNECT SPLICES <br />Use Classic Splice or BOSS(Bonded Structural Splice), as needed, to join multiple <br />sections of Rail. <br />Classic Splice <br />Insert Classic Splice 6" into first Rail and secure with two self-drilling screws, spacing <br />them approximately 1" apart and tightening to 20 in-lbs. Slide second Rail over Classic <br />Splice and secure with two more self-drilling screws. <br />► For Classic Splice, insert screws along the provided lines. <br />► Classic Splices may not be installed in the center 113rd of interior spans, or the <br />outer 1/3 of end spans. <br />► Screws can be inserted on front or back of rails. <br />BOSS • Bonded Structual Splice <br />Insert BOSS into first Rail up until the Stop Tab. Slide second Rail fully into place. <br />► Rows using Classic Splice or BOSS and exceeding 100 feet of Rail must use <br />Expansion Joints. <br />► Boss Splices may be installed in any location within a span. <br />► UFO and Bonding Hardware must be installed 1" away from the point where <br />two Rails join together. <br />B.PREPARE HARDWARE <br />Slide square-headed bolts into side-facing rail slot. Space out bolts to match <br />attachment spacing. <br />► Tape ends of rail, to keep bolts from sliding out while moving. <br />► If using T-bolts, carry hardware onto roof and proceed. <br />C.AT TACH RAILS <br />Drop rail with hardware into roof attachment. Level rail at desired height, then torque to <br />250 in-lbs. <br />► Rail can face either upslope or downslope on roof. <br />► When using attachments with longer slots, do not install Rail lower than the <br />top of the L-Foot to avoid damage to modules. <br />(A) Classic Splice J <br />Torque to <br />20in-lbs'--; & f--1" ---j <br />BOSS <br />6" Inside Rail <br />& &./ <br />� Insert Rail untill fully seated <br />against Stop Tab <br />Preload and Space <br />Square Bolts <br />© 2021 IRON RIDGE, INC. VERSION 3.3 FLUSH MOUNT INSTALLATION MANUAL· 5 <br />3.SECURE LUGS <br />Grounding Lugs <br />Only one Grounding Lug (Rail or Module) required per continuous <br />subarray, regardless of subarray size (Unless frameless modules are <br />used, see .Page2Q.). <br />► Grounding Lugs are intended to for use with one solid or <br />stranded copper wire, conductor size 10-4 AWG. <br />Rail Grounding Lug <br />Insert T-bolt in Top Rail slot and torque Hex Nut to 80 in-lbs. Install <br />a minimum 1 O AWG solid copper or stranded grounding wire. Torque <br />terminal screw to 20 in-lbs. <br />►Module Grounding Lugs can be installed anywhere along the Rail <br />and in either orientation shown. <br />Module Grounding Lug <br />Insert Bolt through Manufacturer approved grounding location and torque <br />Hex nut to 60 in-lbs. One Module Grounding Lug may be installed to <br />one module per row. Install a minimum 10 AWG solid copper or stranded <br />grounding wire. Torque terminal screw to 20 in-lbs. <br />►If using Enphase microinverters or Sunpower AC modules, <br />Grounding Lugs may not be needed. See Page 19 for more info. <br />► Refer to module manufactuer for mounting location and <br />instructions. <br />4.SECURE MODULES <br />A.SECURE FIRST END <br />Place first module in position on rails, a minimum of 1" <br />from rail ends. Snap Stopper Sleeves onto UFO. Fasten <br />module to rail using the UFO, ensuring that the UFO is <br />hooked over the top of the module. Torque to 80 in-lbs. <br />► Ensure rails are square before placing modules. <br />► Hold Stopper Sleeves on end while torquing to prevent rotation. <br />► If using CAMO instead of UFO+ Stopper Sleeve, refer to Page 19 <br />for CAMO installation procedure. <br />B.SECURE NEXT MODULES <br />Place UFO into each rail, placing them flush against first <br />module. Slide second module against UFO. Torque to 80 <br />in-lbs. Repeat for each following module. <br />► When reinstalling UFO, move modules a minimum of 1/16" so <br />UFOs are in contact with a new section of module frame. <br />► When UFOs are loosened and re-tightened, ensure UFO T-bolt <br />bottoms out in rail channel before re-torquing UFO to achieve full <br />engagement between T-bolt and rail. <br />► If using Wire Clips, refer to Page 18. <br />C.SECURE LAST END <br />Place last module in position on rails, a minimum of 1" <br />from rail ends. Snap Stopper Sleeves onto UFO. Secure <br />UFO Clamps on rails, ensuring they are hooked over top <br />of module. Torque to 80 in-lbs. <br />► Hold Stopper Sleeves on end while torquing to prevent rotation. <br />► Repeat all steps for each following row of modules, leaving a <br />minimum 3/8" gap between rows <br />► If using CAMO instead of UFO+ Stopper Sleeve, refer to Page 6 <br />for CAMO installation procedure. <br />Rail Grounding Lug <br />Module Grounding Lug <br />Terminal Screw <br />(20 in-lbs)--...,____ <br />Hex Head <br />(60 in-lbs) <br />Terminal Screw <br />➔ 1,;;:;:::::;;;:::;;;::::l,,,t-----t7�, <br />t1eX NU! <br />(80 in-lbs) <br />� ✓ <br />I <br />Use with one solid or stranded copper <br />wire, conductor size 10-4AWG. <br />BOLT <br />�STARWASHCR <br />;:::., GROUNDING LUG <br />---""?> � FLANGE NUT <br />A---------- <br />Stopper <br />r-ft---Sleeve <br />© 2021 IRON RIDGE, INC.
