ConSole Installation instructions
INSERTION Product Information The ConSole assembly system is the ideal solution for installing PV modules on flat roofs with pitch of up to 5° without roof penetration. Most commercially available framed standard PV modules fit on the ConSole. The ConSole is weighed down with ballast (gravel, paving slabs, etc.) in order to resist the wind loads. The necessary weight of the ballast depends on the height of the building, its location and condition of the ground and the wind and snow loads.

ASSEMBLY 4. Module frame Self locking nut M6 Elongated hole U-Profil Round hole Washer Hexagon screw M6 x 20 mm Assembly step 1: Now fasten the U profiles to the module. Ensure that the slotted hole is on the higher side of the ConSole and the smaller round holes are on lower side. Only ever use the fastening material supplied. Tighten the M6 screws with a maximum torque of 10 Nm. Assembly step 2: The cabling of the PV modules should be carried out by trained specialists.
ASSEMBLY 6. Fasten the PV module with U profile on the ConSole mounting rails Drill a hole 7 mm wide in the edge of the ConSole through the holes on the clips of the U profiles (fig. A). Screwdriver 7 mm Now fasten the profiles using the supplied fastening material to the ConSole mounting rails. Ensure that the washer is between the nut and the ConSole. Note: Start by fastening the U profiles to the lower side of the ConSole.
