UNIFIX 50
Dear customer, we thank you for purchasing one of our Uniteck products. Please read carefully all
instructions before using your product.
Unifix brackets have been specially designed to fix your Unisun photovoltaic panels or equivalent (see part
compatible panels):
•Unifix 50 for your Unisun panels 50.12M / 55.12BC
UNIFIX 50
Simple to install, they attach either:
•on a rigid horizontal or vertical surface (eg wall, concrete floor, wood frame).
•on round mast with a diameter of 40 to 60 mm (supplied flange)
•on signaling posts using flanges with M8 screws
With our galvanized steel structure and corrosion-resistant stainless-steel screws, they are perfectly suited
for outdoor use.
Equipped with the multi-position tilt system, Unifix supports allow you to optimize your performance
according to the chosen orientation.
To make the panel / regulator / battery connection, we recommend that you use the Uniconnect ready-to-
use kits that optimize your electrical performance and simplify installation:
•Uniconnect 1.6 = connection 1 panel
•Uniconnect 2.6 = connection 2 panels
•Uniconnect 3.6 = connection 3 panels

RECOMMENDATIONS
Mount Unifix brackets only on surfaces with sufficient lift. Consider the additional load with panel:
Support
Panel
Unifix 50
= 2,6 kg
Unisun 50.12M / 55.12 BC
=4,1 kg / 3,8 kg
Fastening: to prevent large quantities of snow from accumulating behind the sensor, install appropriate
shut-off gates upstream.
The arrangement of the solar panel influences your electrical performance. Choose the most optimal
inclination and orientation to suit your environment. Avoid shaded areas or objects that are a source of
shadow (eg tree)
Before attaching and connecting, please observe:
•the maximum distances shown below between each element.
•connection order
Unifix + wiring with Uniconnect connection kit
(1) Possibility of extending the distance between the panels by one additional meter, by adding a
Unicable 612B and 612 R (cables not supplied with the Uniconnect kits).
(2) Unicable 612B and 612 R (cables not supplied with the Uniconnect kits).
Ordre de connexion
For disconnection please proceed in reverse order. For more information, refer to the operating manual of
your photovoltaic charge regulator
