FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing the EASY ROOF FLAT base, spread footings must be available as stipulated in DTU43.1
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The planning, fitting and commissioning of the installation must only be carried out by qualified
personnel. Incorrect execution can result in damage to the system and can put lives in danger.
It is imperative to comply with national and local construction standards, miscellaneous regulations and
environmental protection directives in force*.
Safety regulations and accident prevention instructions must be observed. Appropriate fall prevention
devices must be used for all work performed at height.
Before assembly, it is your responsibility to check the amount of ballast, the load capacity of the roof
and the compatibility of the installation with the various roof coatings/insulations.
Before assembly, check that you have the up-to-date version of the assembly instructions on our
website: http://fr.edilians.co.uk/supports/. Throughout the installation operation, make sure that at
least one copy of the installation instruction manual is available on site.
Please take into account the module manufacturer’s assembly instructions.
To remove the system, apply the installation procedure in reverse.
Compliance with the safety and operating instructions for the system entitles you to a ten-year product
warranty**.
ASSEMBLY ADVICE
This system can be installed on all flat horizontal surfaces, mainly common terrace roofs with a bearing
structure of sufficient load capacity and a roof slope of up to 5%.
The distributed surface load of the installation with its ballast must be no more than the residual load
capacity of the building. As a rule, all the technical aspects of the support, roof and building must be
checked before assembly. When in doubt, a building professional must be consulted.
The process can only be implemented on roofing with a technical opinion or a technical application
document that allows the installation of technical components, in accordance with DTU43.1 or DTU43.11.
In particular, the insulation on the underside of the damp proof course must be at least Class C in
accordance with the CSTB Technical Guide UEAtc (1) for the approval of sealing support insulating
systems for flat and sloping roofs (Specification 2662_V2 - July 2010).
* Compliance with NF C15-712 is especially important in France.

In addition, in accordance with the provisions of §9.1 of DTU43.1 (Roofs receiving permanent heavy
equipment, regardless of the destination), the connections between equipment and the terraced roof
must allow servicing and overhaul of sealing structures.
The EASY ROOF FLAT process is designed for easy removal (and/or) transport without the need for
lifting machinery (the ballast must never be more than 67 kg).
Every component (KITS with reference bases 092406) will rest on an appropriate resilient material
(expanded or extruded polystyrene) or on the footing provided by EDILIANS.
These spread components (intended to prevent any pinching of the damp proof course) will be sized as
follows:
The smallest support dimension is no less than 0.40 m.
The pressure at the sealing coating is limited in the conditions below.
The maximum pressure under every slab must be calculated by the company in charge of equipment
implementation (in accordance with §3.1 ag) of FD P 84-204-3].
The project manager verifies the compatibility between the calculated pressures resulting from the
equipment and the allowable pressures (in accordance with FD P 84-204-3).
For a coating under reversed insulation, the allowable pressure is the smaller of the following two
values:
The one indicated in the table below,
The one indicated in the Technical Application Document for the insulating panel.
For a sealing coating on insulating panel support, the allowable pressure is the smaller of the
following three values:
- The one indicated in the table below (caution: remember (see §6.5.1 of DTU43.1) that Class I2
SBS elastomer bilayer coatings are not permitted on insulating panel supports).
- The one indicated for this use in the application documents for sealing support insulating
panels other than cork-based supports,
- 4 kPa (0.04 daN/cm2) for sealing coatings applied to insulating panels in expanded
agglomerated cork.

Before commencing assembly, make sure that the surface is perfectly clean and flat. Surface
irregularities must be eliminated to ensure good support for the system and balanced load transmission.
The minimum distance between neighboring emerging structures should be respected as stated in
Article 5.4.1 of DTU43.1.
It is given in the next figure based on the dimension facing the equipment (this stipulation comes from
production, servicing and overhaul requirements for sealing structures).
Figure: Installation of emerging structures
The EASY ROOF FLAT system is suitable for modules with a frame 30 to 50 mm high and up to
maximum 1100 mm wide. Frameless modules cannot be used with this system.

Fixing to rail7.1)
The rail is fixed to metal legs (stainless steel A304L or aluminium ENW6063 T66) using A2 stainless steel
bolts (not supplied by EDILIANS, size decided by the fitter).
The fitter is responsible for sizing this rail/post interface:
The tensile loads to be considered are taken from the table on page 6 of this document.
Any momentary effects (induced by the altitude of the PV field in relation to the sealing level) are decided
by the project management and/or the contractor that has to size these components.
In this case, please refer to §5.4.2 of DTU43.1 which states in particular that if the equipment can be
dismantled when overhauling the sealing (the case here as each component weighs less than 90 kg), the
height between the sealing plane and the underside of the rails can be reduced to 0.30 m.
The minimum value required (clearance under equipment) is 300 mm
See table on page 11
Panel length + 16 mm
Exemple of fixing the rail onto the posts.
Drilling 2 holes Ø7mm in the rail.
Fasten with 2 Hex head machine screw 6 x 20
+ washers Ø6 + nuts M6.
The centre between distances of the posts depthwise on the installation will be as per the tables on page
11.
The centre between distances of the posts widthwise will be equal to the panel length + 16 mm.
