UNITECK CO00112 Pushpit Mounting Bracket
Dear customer, thank you for purchasing one of our Uniteck products. Please read all the instructions carefully and thoroughly before using the product.
DESCRIPTION
Unifix 20.1 WB brackets have been specially designed to fix your Unisun
10.12M/ 10.24M / 20.12M / 20.24M photovoltaic panels.
They can be installed on all pushpits or handrails with tubes from 20 to 28 mm
in diameter (minimum tube length: 150 mm).
Thanks to their structure and marine stainless steel screws and bolts, they
are perfectly suited for use in saline environments.
Equipped with a multi-position tilting system, Unifix brackets allows an
optimization of your panel’s performance depending on the chosen orientation.

To connect the panel / regulator / battery, we recommend that you use the Uniconnect 1.6 ready-to-use kit that optimizes your electrical performance and simplifies installation (kit for connecting 1 panel)
- The arrangement of the sensors influences your electrical performance. Choose the optimum tilt and orientation according to your environment. Avoid shaded areas or objects that may cause shadows.
- For more energy, it is possible to use two solar systems:
- panels with the same orientation: installation in parallel (two panels + one regulator + one wiring kit + branch connectors)
- panels with opposite orientations: two separate installations (one panel + one controller + wiring kit) x2Electrical

Fixing your solar panel.
To avoid the phenomenon of galvanic corrosion, position the isolating piece
between the frame of the solar panel of anodized aluminium and the stainless
steel bracket
When you have chosen the inclination, position the locking pin to block the
rotation of the Unifix.
Please ensure that your panel and your mount are properly fixed.
