Warning!
6Installation work should always be carried out by at least two skilled people.
6Donotusecomponentsfromothermountingsystems.
6Donotleaveoutparts.
6Alwaysworkaccordingtothecurrentregulationsforworkingonroofs.
6Donotperformtheinstallationinstrongwinds,orwhentheroofisslipperyorwet.
6Alwaysworkontheroofwithfallprotectionand,ifnecessary,withsafetynetsandedgeprotection.
6Neverstandonorinthegutter.
6Alwaysusealiftingaidorhoistingdevicewhenmovingheavyequipment.
6Alwaysplaceladdersonastrong,stablesurface.
Caution!
3Walkaslittleaspossibleontheroof.Useanaerialplatform,ladderorothersolution.

INSTALLATION
1 PREPARATION
1 INSPECT THE ROOF
Theroofisingoodcondition.
Theroofconstructionhassucientbearingcapacitytosupporttheinstallation,takingintoaccountwindandsnow
loads.
3ThethermaleectofsometypesofEPDMandbitumenroongcanhaveanegativeeectonthewaterproong,
causingitcannotbeguaranteedoneveryroof.ConsulttheroongsuppliertodeterminewhethertheClickFit
EVOhangerboltscanbeusedwithouttakingadditionalsteps.
2 CHECK THE PROJECT PLAN AND COMPONENTS
Checktheprojectplan.Istherenoprojectplan?Thencreateoneintheonlinecalculatorbeforestartinginstallation.
Checkthatallcomponentsarepresent(page5).
Determinethepositionofthehangerbolts.Usethepurlinsortrussesifpresent.

most out of your installation.
3Thedistancefromtheedgeofsolarpanelstoboththeridgeandtheguttermustbeatleast30cm.
3Thedistancefromthesolarpanelstothesideoftheroofmustbeatleast30cm.

6 DRAW THE LINES AND END POINTS FOR THE MOUNTING RAILS
4Consulttheprojectplantodeterminethepositionofthemountingrailsforyourpanel.
7 MARK THE POSITION OF THE HANGER BOLTS.
3Preferablyuseexistingscrewholesfortheinstallationofthehangerbolts,especiallyoncorrugatedroofs.Ifyouusetoo
manyscrewsinacorrugatedsheetroof,itmeansthattheroofmaterialmayhavetoolittlespacetocompensatefor
thermalexpansion/contraction.
3Whenmeasuringandmarkingtheeld,takeintoaccountthepositionofthepurlinsortrusses.
4Consulttheprojectplantodeterminethepositionofthehangerboltsforyourproject.

1 DETERMINE THE LENGTH OF THE MOUNTING RAILS BASED ON THE SOLAR PANELS
20-35 mm
20-35 mm

4Measurethesolarpanelsandallowanadditional12mmbetweeneachsolarpanelfortheuniversalmoduleclamp.Allow
anadditional30mmoneachsideformountingtheendclampandendcap.
4Calculatetheminimumlengthofthemountingrails:(panelsize+12mm)xnumberofpanels-12mm+(2x30mm)
4Iftheoverhangissmallerthan250mm,keepaminimumof20mmtoamaximumof35mmraillengthoverhangfor
mountingtheendcap(art.no.1008060(-B)).

4Doestheouterpaneledgeprojectmorethan250mmbeyondthelasthangerbolt?Thenextendthemountingrailsoit
goes50mmbeyondthenexthangerboltandattachthemountingrailhere.Thisextra50mmprovidessucientlength
totanendcap(articleno.1008066(-B))tothemountingrails.Fortheendclampyoumustthenusetheendclamp
