Tools
Certain tools are required to carry out the assembly. These tools are shown in the illustrations with the fol-
lowing symbols.
Measuring tape, measure Cordless screwdriver, screwdriver
Pencil, mark Torque wrench,
Observe torque
Chalk line Drilling machine, drill
Scissors, tin snips, cut to size
Target group
These installation instructions are intended for trained personnel who are familiar with the installation of
photovoltaic systems. The personnel should also be familiar with working on roofs and know the local reg-
ulations regarding work safety. The personnel must also observe the instructions in the Safety chapter.
Appropriate use
The CompactGROUND GS ground-mounted system is designed for installing PV modules on flat roofs. The
inclination may be max. 5° (ballasting with ballast stones). A project specific clarification is required for a
inclination of more than 5°. The system must be properly installed in accordance with these installation
instructions and the planning documents supplied.
PV modules used with the CompactGROUND GS system should be approved by the module manufacturer.
AEROCOMPACT accepts no liability for loss of performance or damage of any kind to the PV modules.
Any other use of the CompactGROUND GS system is considered improper.
Liability, Warranty, Guarantee
These assembly instructions and the project report supplied with the product are integral parts of the
product. The information, data and instructions given in the assembly instructions were up to date at the
time of printing. No claims can be made for products already delivered that deviate from the information,
illustrations and descriptions.
The project report supplied with the system contains the static/ structural calculation related to the location.
Follow the position of the modules on the roof, the number and position of the building protection pads
and the ballast distribution exactly according to the project report. If the module layout on the roof changes
due to local conditions, e.g. unforeseen interference areas, the structural analysis must be recalculated. The
Aerocompact system is designed and planned using the AEROTOOL software.
Aerocompact accepts no liability for damage and malfunctions caused by:

Guarantee
The warranty period for the system is 25 years. The warranty period for galvanized steel parts is 10 years. The
guarantee is only valid if the installation is carried out professionally and all system components are pur-
chased from Aerocompact. If the assembly instructions or the planning documents are disregarded, the war-
ranty will be invalidated.
Photovoltaic racking systems are not maintenance-free. Perform maintenance annually and immediately
after unusual weather events, e.g., after heavy storms or heavy snowfall, etc. If the maintenance is not carried
out at the specified interval, the warranty will become void.
General information on liability
We would like to point out that the flat roof system is being sold as part of a sales contract. Assembly/-
processing by the purchaser or third parties is not carried out on behalf of or for Aerocompact and must be
carried out by qualified personnel strictly in accordance with the assembly instructions. The Aerocompact
system must be designed and planned with the AEROTOOL software. Aerocompact is not responsible for the
project-related structural integrity of the roof structure, for obtaining and documenting the roof man-
ufacturer's approval for the installation of the corresponding fasteners on the respective roof (in terms of
warranties), nor for the professional execution.
Errors and damage as well as limited or insufficient functionality of the system due to incorrect installation
and/or installation that deviates from the installation instructions and/or the project report (AEROTOOL)
exclude any material defect for which Aerocompact is responsible. In the event of improper handling, the
buyer's rights of warranty for material defects shall not longer be valid. The system warranty is only valid if
all system components are purchased from Aerocompact.
Systems with clamping on the short side of the module
For a system with a clamp on the short side of the module, it is assumed that the module may also be used
with this installation method (clamp on the short sides of the module). This approval can either be generally
available as part of the module certification or, under certain circumstances, can also be given by the mod-
ule manufacturer on a project-specific basis.
Systems with roof protection pads
The roof protection pad included in the scope of delivery is matched to the roof surface defined in the pro-
ject. Due to the many available roof surfaces on the market, the responsible designer should ensure the com-
patibility of and the coefficient of static friction between the protection pad and the roof surface of the
building used in the design. The friction value can be determined during the planning process with a coef-
ficient of friction test.

Safety

SAFETY
Requirements of personnel
The person must be physically and mentally fit. Under no circumstances must the installation personnel be
under the influence of medication, alcohol or drugs.
Persons who are not healthy and fit must not work on roofs.
Personnel who are in training must only carry out work under the supervision of qualified personnel who
are authorized to train personnel.
Working safely
The company carrying out the installation is responsible for ensuring that the local regulations for work
safety and accident prevention are observed.
Breakthrough protection
Roof windows, skylights, large ventilation flaps etc. often cannot withstand the weight or impact of a person.
Such objects must be secured in a similar way as the edge of the roof.
Corrugated fibre cement roofs can be prone to breakthrough over the entire surface. Define walking routes
and secure them with load distribution measures.
On roofing or roof structures that do not have sufficient load-bearing capacity (e.g. thin sheets, corrugated
fibre cement), always work with load distribution aids.
Climbing aids
Only use suitable, intact and tested ladders. Set up and secure ladders according to instructions.
Separate rules apply to mechanical climbing aids (lifts, lifting platforms, ...).
Never use the PV mounting system as a climbing aid.
Weather conditions
In case of unsuitable weather conditions, work on the roof must not be continued any longer than neces-
sary - or not started at all.
Never carry out assembly work in strong winds. Strong wind exerts enormous forces on the large-area PV
modules. There is a risk that a module could be torn off the roof and people could be injured.
Never work in wet conditions or at temperatures below the freezing point. Depending on the roof pitch
there is a risk of slipping.
Dangers from the environment
Keep sufficient distance from overhead electrical lines. The following distances must be observed:

Attach roof protection pad (optional)
The roof protection pad is used for all roof coverings, except for green roofs.
Make sure that the underside of the brackets is clean, dry, and free of grease and dust. Wipe the under-
side with a clean and dry cloth.
For the bracket, make sure that the roof protection pad covers the edge in each case: A = 10 mm.
Depending on the design of the connector bracket, attach 1 to 2 roof protection pads.

Installing the modules
Tip: When installing, wire the modules at the same time.
The cables can be attached to the module with the cable tie clip (CLP-M).
The distance between the clamps is determined by the brackets and connector brackets or by the mod-
ule size.
Install the first module row
Weigh down the front brackets with ballast blocks
Place the module on the front brackets and middle brackets.
