Fix-EZ
Designed for at roof applications, the multifunction Fix-EZ solar mounting system mounts solar photovoltaic (PV) modules on
roof tops with minimal load and materials, thereby reducing installation time and costs. The Fix-EZ is specically designed to meet
or exceed applicable IBC, ASCE, and UL standards.
Features
• Conforms to UL 27031
• Certied to ULC/ORD Std C1703
• Fire class resistance rating: Class A when used with
Type I or Type II photovoltaic modules in landscape orientation only2
• Multiple module tilt options available3
• Portrait or landscape module orientation4
• Ballast block included
• Includes Rapid5KTM grounding module clamps
• Wind tunnel tested
• Optional wire management
• 30 Amp fuse series rating
Provided as a complete mounting system, the Fix-EZ includes several multifunction components to maximize functionality and
minimize cost. Ballast blocks act as ballast weight as well as system support. Module mounting rails support modules⁵ and act as
windbreak with Rapid5K™ module clamps securely holding modules in place while bonding/grounding them to the system. The
following is a guide to properly install a Fix-EZ in order to meet design and test standards.6
1The Fix-EZ is evaluated for electrical bonding only. The Fix-EZ meets all IBC and ASCE requirements for structural loading; it was not evaluated for loading under UL 2703.
2Special consideration needs to be taken during design phase if system requires protective re barrier.
3Module tilt will vary depending on module manufacturer’s connection requirements: tilt options range from 7 degrees to 15 degrees
4Maximum number of modules shall not exceed maximum system voltage.
5This racking system may be used to ground and/or mount a PV module complying with UL1703 only when the specic module has been evaluated for grounding and/or mounting in
compliance with the included manual
6Installer is responsible for verifying that photovoltaic system meets applicable NEC standards.
7Individual parts and components may vary from system-to-system. Please reference system specic drawings.

Torque Specications and Tolerances
Systems are specically designed for each project. Please reference the specic project drawing for allowable tolerances and
recommended torque for each size of bolt used in the system.
In the event of deviation from approved drawings, contact Schletter immediately.
Equipment Grounding
• Many PV installations contain more than one mounting system. Such cases call for electrically bonding each of the dierent
mounting systems. Since individual racks are fully bonded units it is only necessary to connect individual racks together from
one single point to another single point.9Only use stainless steel hardware when connecting harnesses or jumpers to the
mounting system. Take care to prevent copper wires from directly contacting aluminum surfaces as this will cause corrosion.
For this purpose, Schletter oers a bonding jumper on page 6.
• The PV INSTALLER of Schletter’s electrically bonded Fix-EZ system must provide the components necessary for the nal
connections to the grounding electrode system. Typically the installation will incorporate a grounding electrode (ground
rod), appropriately sized copper wire, rated wire connectors, and grounding lugs which are rated for this purpose. The PV
INSTALLER must follow all manufacturers’installation literature. Installation must comply with all applicable NEC/CSA sections
including but not limited to; NEC 250 (Grounding and Bonding), NEC 690 (Solar Photovoltaic Systems), CSA 22.1 (Safety
Standard for Electrical Installations), and all other applicable state and local electrical code requirements.
• PV INSTALLER shall be fully responsible for all connections between Schletter’s bonded Fix-EZ system and PV grounding
electrode system.
• Equipment grounding conductors shall be no less than 14AWG (copper) or 12AWG (aluminum).
• Equipment grounding conductors can be connected to any exposed metallic portion of rack system provided that:
a. connection area is suciently sized
b. dissimilar metals are not in direct contact
c. connection does not interfere with other components
d. connection is protected from damage
9Schletter recommends two bonding jumpers connect separate systems for redundancy.

For more information
Maintenance
• Yearly inspection of system should be conducted to maintain optimal performance.
• Visually inspect for signs of damage, wear, corrosion, or movement. Replace any aected components immediately.
• Check for loose wiring
• Mechanical details of the structure
• At least 2% of bolted connections must be checked using a calibrated torque wrench. The torque wrench must have a
display or be a click type torque wrench.
• Torque wrench should be set at 50% of the intended tightening torque. Check is successful if the bolt cannot
be loosened.
• If >10% of the checked bolted connections are loose, the check has to be increased by a factor of ve.
• If more than 10% of connections are still loose, all bolted connections much be checked.
• Tighten to specied torques
• Requirements per ASME B107 and AISC
• WARNING:Risk of death by electric shock
• Maintenance should only be performed by qualied personnel.
