Precautionary Measures for Stainless-Steel Fastener Installation

Improper operation may lead to the deadlock of bolts and nuts. Follow the steps below to reduce this risk.

Reduce the friction coefﬁcient

(1) Ensure that the thread surface is clean (no dirt or contaminant).

(2) Apply lubricant (grease or 40# engine oil) to fasteners prior to tightening to avoid galling or seizing in the threads.

Installation

Installation Guide / PostMount 6-A for XL Panels

5Code-Compliant Planning and Installation Guide V 2.0 - Complying with AS/NZS1170.2-2021 - System Overview -

General installation instructions

(1) Apply force to fasteners in the direction of thread.

(2) Apply force uniformly to maintain required torque.

(3) Professional tools and tool belts are recommended.

(4) Avoid using electric tools for ﬁnal tightening.

(5) Avoid working at high temperatures.

Safe Torques

Please refer to safe torques deﬁned in this guide as shown in the ﬁgure below. If power tools are required, Clenergy

recommends the use of low speed only. High speed and impact drivers increase the risk of bolt galling (deadlock). If

deadlock occurs and you need to cut fasteners, please make sure that there is no load on the fastener before you cut it.

Avoid damaging the anodized or galvanized surfaces.

Installation Dimensions

All drawings and dimensions in this installation guide are for generic reference. The PVezRack® PostMount 6-A for XL

Panels is to be optimized to suit specific conditions for each project and documented in engineering drawings. As

a result, major components of the PVezRack® PostMount 6-A for XL Panels may be provided in sectional sizes and

lengths that vary from those shown in this guide. The installation operations detailed in this instruction guide remain

the same regardless of the component size. In case you need to do any on-site modifications or alteration of the

system in a way that would be different from engineering drawings, please provide marked up drawings/sketches for

Clenergy’s review prior to modiﬁcation for comment and approval.

Installation Instruction

Dig a hole with the diameter of 300mm .

Place the pole into the middle of the hole and ﬁll it with

concrete (min 25 MPa strength). Maintain the position of

the post. The allowed vertical tolerance is ±2°. Keep the

axle of the 2- Ø22 holes parallel to East-West; keep the

vertical angle deviation within ±5°. For more than one

system on one site maintain all the axles of 2- Ø22 holes

aligned.

Connect the Pipe to the corrugated washer and Steel Cap Assembly with M20*210 hexagonal bolt, spring washer 20,

M20 nut.

Combine two Steel Caps with M20*160 hexagonal bolt, spring washer 20, M20 hex nut.

Notes:

1) Do not fasten the Bolt prior to complete the assembly of PM-A Rectangular Tube-Master.

2) Keep all the Bolt head aligned.

Notes:

1) Adjust the angle of the allation, the angle of the Rectangular

Tube-Master with 10°(6 holes from up to bottom corresponds

to 10° to 60° tilt angle) in order to make the assembly process

run smooth.

2) Using adjustable washers to fill gaps between the

Rectangular Tube-Master and the Adjustable Tube and Steel

Cap. Image on the right shows adjustable washers inserting

between the Rectangular Tube-Master and Steel Cap.

Fix the Rectangular Tube-Master at Steel Cap Assembly

with M20*160 hex bolt, M20 nut, plain washer 20, and spring

washer 20. See the mark (1).

Fix the Adjustable Tube at Rectangular Tube-Master with

M20 nut. See the mark (2).

Fix the Adjustable Tube at Steel Cap Assembly with M20*160

hex bolt, M20 nut, plain washer 20, and spring washer 20. See

the mark (3).

Realized the angle adjustment by position the bolt in the

differrent holes.

Fasten the Steel Cap Assembly to Pipe with M20*210,

M20*160 Hex Bolt, keep the Rectangular Tube-Master parallel

to the south-north by adjust the

Steel Cap Assembly

Recommended torque for M20 bolts is 210~220 N·m.

Apply one pre-assembled Grounding Lug per Rail. Click the Grounding Lug into to the rail channel and insert the

Copper Wire. (the maximum size is 10 mm2) Fasten the bolt M6*14 with 5~6 N.m and the bolt M8*25 with 16~20 N.m.

End Clamp Inter Clamp

- Installation Instruction -

PV Module Installation

Fix the PV panel to Rail, via Universal Inter Clamps and

End Clamps step by step until all the panels complete.

Recommended torque for M8 bolts is 18~20 N·m

Note:

The Universal Clamp can be used both as a End Clamp

and a Inter Clamp, and the height can be adjusted from

30 to 46 mm.

When the side of the Universal Clamp close the narrow

side of the Universal Clamp Buckle, it can be used as

End Clamp, and when the side of the Universal Clamp

close the wide side of the Universal Clamp Buckle, it can

be used as Inter Clamp, as shown in the figure on the

right. The Universal Clamp can be directly rotated to the

position of required End or Inter Clamp.

Recommended torque for M8 bolts when it is Inter Clamp

is 18~20 N·m

Recommended torque for M8 bolts when it is End Clamp

is 13~14 N·m
