PV Kit 2.0 Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

S-5!® Warning! Please use these products responsibly! Visit our website or contact your S-5! distributor for available load test results. The

user and/or the installer of these parts is responsible for all necessary engineering and design for the intended use of these parts in an

assembly or application. Note that a continuous ground must be followed in accordance with National Electric Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70.

Installation in Canada must be in accordance with CSA C22.1, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. For

UL 2703 Listed assemblies (UL Listed) use with PV Modules having a maximum fuse rating of 25A or less. Prior to installation, contact the

local code Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to determine the proper grounding requirements. Visit www.S-5.com for more details.

Exercise care when threading the Male Portion of the StandO into the clamp to avoid cross-threading.

Tools Needed

• Screw Gun

• T-30 Torx Bit Tip

(provided)

• Calibrated Dial

Torque Wrench

1. Install the rst row of S-5! clamps, at the edge of the array:

It is critical that this row is straight. Install a clamp at both ends of

the row, by measuring from a reference point such as the eave of

the roof. Tighten the setscrews with Screw Gun and the included

Bit Tip. The setscrews will dimple the seam material but will not

penetrate it. When relying on published load values, setscrew

tension should be veriﬁed periodically using a calibrated torque

wrench to ensure the tool is consistently achieving the proper

torque range (see Setscr

ew Torque Table below). Please see

installation instructions provided with clamps for specics.

Stretch a string line between the two end clamps to provide a

true line to mount the remaining edge clamps (Fig. 1).

2. Mount the PV Disks and the EdgeGrab/StandO

Assembly

to the rst row of clamps: place the PV Disk atop the clamp and

thread the Male Portion of the StandO through the disk and

into the clamp. Drive the EdgeGrab/StandOff Assembly down

with provided Bit Tip (Fig. 2) until the base of the StandO seats

the disk in place and breaks the thread locking seal between the

StandOff and Low Profile Bolt. Leave the grab up, to allow space

for a module frame. A 1/2” open end wrench can be used to

further tighten the StandOff atop the disk if desired.

PV Kit 2.0 Installation Instructions 3. Install the first row of modules (Fig 3a): Place first module in the grabs pushing on the frame to seat the module against the EdgeGrabs and Module Placement Bevel Guide (Fig 3b). Drive the Low Profile Bolt with the provided bit to tighten the grabs (Fig 3c). Low Profile Bolt and Standoff should be torqued to 120-130 in lbs (13.6-14.7 Nm). Check torque periodically during install to ensure the tool is achieving torque. PV Kit 2.0 fits 3b. 3c.

b. These instructions are for use by those experienced in the trade. Always follow appropriate safety precautions and use appropriate tools. PV Kit 2.0 Installation Instructions 1. 1. Install the first row of S-5! brackets, at the edge of the array: It is critical that this row is straight. Install a bracket at both ends of the row, by measuring from a reference point such as the eave of the roof.

PV Kit 2.0 Installation Instructions 5. Place MidGrab/StandOff/Disk & Bracket Assemblies: Using the PV module as a guide, place the bracket on the rib and move into place so that the edge of the module is seated against the wall of the MidGrab and the Module Placement Bevel Guide (Fig. 3b). Secure the RibBracket directly into the crown of the roof profile by driving the fasteners (included with RibBrackets) into the pre-punched holes as described in step 1 above.
