Quick Mount PV QMAFB-33A1 Accessory Frame Bracket
Installation Instructions
Installation Tools Required: PV wire clips, 1/2″ socket and torque wrench.
- In a standard landscape or portrait array, the Accessory Frame Bracket should be installed at least 5 inches from the edge of the module and at least 1 inch in from the edge of the module junction box.
- With the cap screw threaded into the bracket, slide the cap screw into the slot on the module level electronic mounting bracket with the bracket behind the module level electronic mounting bracket.
- Slide this assembly onto the module frame with the bracket behind the module frame, the module level electronic mounting bracket in front of the module frame.
- Place the frame clamp over the edge of the module frame, and in front of the module level electronic mounting bracket. Slide the assembly up and to the left to engage cap screw into frame clamp slot.
- Tighten the cap screw with a half-inch socket and torque wrench to a torque of 15 foot-pounds.
- Neatly coil the wires and clip to module frame.

Bonding Information
The Accessory Frame Bracket (AFB) is a UL 2703 Recognized product used to
mount and electrically bond module-level power electronics (MLPE) that have
been evaluated for use in combination with UL 1703 Listed Modules, as listed
in the above sections and installed per the provided instructions.
The Accessory Frame Bracket and bonding pins are rated for multiple use and
are location-independent.
Bonding Method: The AFB electrically bonds the MLPE to the module frame with bonding pins that pierce both module frame and MLPE bracket coatings when the serrated bracket attachment bolts are torqued to 15 ft-lbs. The system is to be installed in accordance with the latest National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Any local electrical codes must adhere in addition to the national electrical codes. System maximum series fuse rating shall not exceed 25 Amps.
Miscellaneous Information
Fire Rating:
Use of the Accessory Frame Bracket will not affect the Fire Rating of the
racking system.
Periodic Re-inspections:
If re-inspections yield loose components, loose fasteners, or any corrosion
between components, components that are found to be affected are to be
replaced immediately.
Fuse Rating:
Maximum Series Fuse Rating = 40A
