Precautions during Stainless Steel Fastener Installation
Improper operation may lead to deadlock of Bolts and Nuts. The below steps should be applied to every stainless steel nut and bolt assembly to reduce this risk.
Reduce the friction coefficient:
- Ensure that the thread surface is clean (no dirt or contaminant)
- Apply lubricant (grease or 40# engine oil) to fasteners prior tightening to avoid galling or seizing in the threads;
General installation instructions:
- Apply force to fasteners in the direction of thread;
- Apply force uniformly, to maintain required torque;
- Professional tools and tool belts are recommended, avoid using electric tools for final tightening;
- Avoid working at high temperatures,
Safe Torques
Note: Tighten the bolts after adjusting all components in place. Tightening and loosening bolts repeatedly will lead to deadlock of bolts.
Installation Dimensions
All drawings and dimensions in this installation guide are for a generic reference. The PV-ezRack® ezShade 2.0 is to be optimized to suit specific conditions for each project and documented in a construction drawing. As a result, major components of the PV ezRack® ezShade 2.0 may be provided in section sizes and lengths that vary from those shown in this guide. The installation process detailed in this instruction guide remains 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 the construction drawing please provide marked up drawings/sketches for Clenergy’s review prior modification for comment and approval.
Installation Instruction
Post and Girder Installation
Prepare the required installation tools and products before installation.
As per engineering drawings, mark out the positions for bolts and embed 4pcs of M20 bolt in each position as shown in Figure 2.
Make sure all M20 bolts are aligned in both horizontal and vertical direction.
All embedded bolts will be revealed 50±5mm above the ground as shown in
Figure 1.
Note: The M20 bolts and matching nuts, washers and spring washers are
provided by installer.
As shown in Figure 3, place bolts M12*35 into H Joint 130/240.
According to the engineering drawing, slide H Joint 130/240 to the
corresponding position on the Girder and lock it as shown in Figure 4.
For sliding smoothly, to ensure the plane of the M12 bolt cap be parallel to the Girder slot surface when H Joints slide into the Girder, as shown in Figure 5.
Recommended torque for M12 bolts is 40-43N·m
According to the engineering drawing, place different length Rectangular Tube 100*90 and T Base 200/280 by below steps, as shown in Figure 6.
- Place the Rectangular Tube L1 horizontally to align with the hole of H Joint 240 near the end of girder , place bushing in one hand and put on bolts M16*130 in the other hand, then put on flat washers, spring washers, nuts and lock manually.
- Laying down the Rectangular Tube L2, and follow step ① to complete the other hole installation of H Joint 240.
- Keep the Rectangular Tube flat, put the Tube L2 and Tube L3 into the Corrugated T-Base 280, align with the hole position, then put on bolts M16*150、bushings、flat washers、 spring washers and lock manually.
- Keep the Tube L1 flat, install the other hole with Corrugated T-Base 200.
- Laying down the support, rotate Tube L2 and Tube L3, align the hole of Tube L3 with the hole of H Joint130, put on bolts M16*130.
The above steps are all locked manually.
Note: Install the Trapezoidal Shim in the middle of the slot hole of the T-Base for subsequent adjustment
Keep all M16 bolt heads aligned.
The support is complete as shown in Figure 7
Insert the assembled support into embedded bolts .Align the embedded bolts
with the holes on the T-Base, put on the spring washer, flat washer and nut,
manual locking as shown in Figure 8.
After placing an array support. Measure whether all the end faces and top
surfaces are on the same plane and whether the installation angle meets the
requirements. as Shown in Figure 9.
The adjustment range of the slot hole of T-Base as shown in Figure 10.
Fasten all bolts after adjustment.
Recommended torque for M16 bolts is 100-105 N·m, M20 is 200-220 N·m.
Rail 168 Installation
5.2.1 In order to form a longer section, first insert Splice halfway into end
of T-Rail 168, and fasten by self-drilling screws as shown in Figure 11.
Note: The position of self drilling screw ST6.3*22 for connection as shown in Figure 12(unit:mm), total 16pcs on both sides. Tighten until the plastic pads are slightly compressed.
Place one T-Rail 168 on Girder as shown in Figure 13. Apply Rail Clamp to fix the T-Rail on Girder and fasten it by Allen Key.
Note: Apply two Rail Clamps for T-Rail on each side as shown in Figure 13
Recommended torque for M8 bolts is 18-20 N·m
According to engineering drawings, repeat the above operations to install
other T-Rails as shown in Figure 14.
Note: Make sure every row of T-Rail is on the same horizontal line and the ends of the T-Rail are aligned.
Rail 60 Installation
Place one Rail 60 with Water Channel on T-Rail 168 as shown in Figure 15.
Apply Rail Clamp to fix the Rail 60 on T-Rail and fasten it by Allen Key 6mm
as shown in Figure 16.
According to engineering drawings, repeat the above operations to install ohter Rail 60 with Water Channels as shown in Figure 17.
Note: Make sure every row of the Rail is on the same vertical line and the ends of the Rail are aligned.
Recommended torque for M8 bolts is 18-20N·m
PV Module Installation
Click the pre-assembled End Clamp or Inter Clamp II into the grooves of the
Rail 60 with Water Channel as shown in Figure 18.
According to the Figure, place the first row of PV Module on the Rail 60 with
Water Channel one by one. The order of the PV Module is from low to high, and
from left to right as shown in Figure 19.
Note: Make sure each row of PV Moudle mantains the gap of 2mm, it’s recommended to make a T-plate with a thickness of 2mm for measurement. The PV Modules are attached closely with the Rails, and the ends of PV Module are aligned. Then fasten Inter Clamps and End Clamps as shown in Figure 20.
Recommended torque for M8 bolts is 18-20N·m
Gutter Installation
Slide two sets of Corrugated Clamps into the bottom of the Gutter, and do not
fasten the bolts as shown in Figure 21.
Put the Rubber Ring into the Gutter and plug the bottom slot. Ensure the
Rubber Ring is aligned with the ends of Gutter. Glue evenly the connection as
shown in Figure 22.
The effect of installation among Gutter, Corrugated Clamp and Rubber Ring as
shown in Figure 23.
Tilt the Gutter , and place it between the bottom of the PV Module and the Rail 60 with Water Channel as shown in Figure 24 .The order of the Gutter is the same as the PV Module, from low to high, and from left to right.
Straighten the Gutter, make sure the centre of the Gutter is parallel to the
frame line of PV Module and downward by about 10mm as shown in Figure 24.
Figure. 24 Figure. 25
Note: The distance of the two ends of Gutter over the Water Guide Rail60 is equal as shown in Figure 25.
After the last step, adjust Corrugated Clamp to engage the corrugated surface
of Rail 60 with Water Channel and the clamp are Meshed, then lock the
Corrugated Clamp as shown in Figure 25.
Recommended torque for M8 bolts is 12-15N·m
After placing an array of Gutter as shown in Figure 26, make sure the
Gutters in each row are on the same line.
After the installation is completed, check to ensure all bolts are locked, and
the installation is complete as shown in Figure 27.
