Remove the tile or shake underneath each standoff location,exposing the roofing underlayment.Ensure that the standoff base lies flat on the underlayment,but remove no more material than required for the flashings to be installed properly.

Page 12 Installation Manual 214 SolarMount Code-Compliant Planning and Assembly YN®RAC° Installing SolarMount rails Keep rail slots free of roofing grit or other debris. Foreign matter will cause bolts to bind as they slide in the slots. i Installing Splices.If your installation uses SolarMount splice bars,attach the rails together y ` (Fig.11)before mounting the rails to the foot- ings. Use splice bars only with flush installations or those that use low-profile tilt legs. If using more than one splice per rail,contact I UniRac concerning thermal expansion issues. Figure 11.Splice bars slide into the footing bolt slots of SolarMount rail sections. Mounting Rails on Footings.Rails may be 1 ` attached to either of two mounting holes in the Clamping bolt slot footings(Fig.12).Mount in the lower hole for a --� � `� '� low profile,more aesthetically pleasing instal- lation.

Loosely attach the rails to the footings / with the flange nuts. Ensure that the rails are oriented to the footings as shown in Figure 6,7,9,or 10,whichever is Figure 12.Foot-to-rail splice attachment appropriate. Aligning the Rail Ends.

For the safest high-profile installation(Fig.14),the aligned end of the rails must face the lower edge of the roof.Securely tighten the flange nuts on the mounting bolts after alignment is complete (28-32 ft lbs). Mount modules to the rails as soon as possible.Temperature changes may bow the rails within a few hours if module placement is delayed.

Leave covers off J-boxes.They will be installed when the modules are installed on the rails. Rail. Installing the First Module.In high-profile installations,the safety bolt and End clamp flange nut must be fastened to the module bolt slot at the aligned(lower)end of each rail.It will prevent the lower end clamps and clamping bolts from sliding out of the rail slot during installation. Figure 15 If there is a return cable to the inverter,connect it to the first module.Close the J-box cover.Secure the first module with T-bolts and end clamps at the aligned end of each rail.Allow half an inch between the rail ends and the end clamps (Fig.15).Finger tighten flange nuts,center and align the module as needed,and N, i securely tighten the flange nuts(15 ft lbs). \\ Installing the Other Modules.Lay the second module face down(glass to glass)on the first module.Connect intermodule cable to the second module and close the J-box cover.Turn the second module face u (Fig.16).With T-bolts, mid clamps,and flange nuts,secure the adjacent sides of the first and second 2boxes modules.Align the second module and securely tighten the flange nuts(Fig.17). For a neat installation,fasten cable clamps to rails with self-tapping screws. Figure 16 Repeat the procedure until all modules are installed.Attach the outside edge of the last module to the rail with end clamps. F 7 Module frames Trim off any excess rail,being careful not to cut into the roof.Allow half an inch between the end clamp and the end of the rail(Fig.15).
