Since many of these tolerances are very small, we install a die line (marker) to differentiate the correct die per module frame. C: Tilt up system to desired angle: Hold the rear tilt up array to the desired angle. Tighten all bracketing connections using 20 ft. lbs. When the rear assembly is set at the de- sired angle, set the angle of the front bracket assembly and tighten using 20 ft. lbs. When installing the Tilt Up kit be sure to refer closely to the load testing and engineering specifications for adequate spacing guide- lines. MODULE CLAMP ASSEMBLY DETAIL After the support rails have been installed to the attach- ments, you are now ready to install the solar modules. There are two sets of clamps; the outside clamps (end clamp) and the inter -module clamps that install between the modules. For convenience, it is advisable to pre -thread or start the bolt, lock washer and clamp into the sliding insert prior to bringing them up to the roof. Slide the two end clamps near the end of the support rail and install your end module (first). Carefully square the module to the frame and tighten the clamps using a 1/2" box wrench or drive socket. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, we recommend a maximum torque of 12 foot pounds to prevent damage to the module glass. After the first module is secured, slide two inter -module clamp sets onto the first module. They are designed to stay in place freeing you up to slide and align the next module into place. Repeat this procedure until all modules are installed onto the support rail. Upon installation of the last module in the panel, install the mod- ule end clamp to complete the installation. professionalSOLARproducu„ www.Roofroc.com Page 4 SHARP MULTI-PURPOSE MODULE IMPROVED FRAME TECHNOLOGY " zZ� �NATT NEXT GENERATION. BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE. POLY -CRYSTALLINE SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE WITH 224W MAXIMUM POWER This poly -crystalline 224 watt module features 13.74% module efficiency for an outstanding balance of size and weight to power and performance.
