INSTALLATION GUIDE
PUB2022JUN13
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
BALLAST Field BAY/North Bay: The Ballast Bay frame is made of a mill
finish Aluminum. This roof mount is a modular design that allows for easily
getting around roof obstructions and accommodating roof undulations. The
Ballast Bays are created such that they nest within each other to optimize
shipping logistics. North bay will be only used only on north row.
OPTIONAL WIRE MANAGEMENT: The Ballast Bay frame runners will accept
standard strut-strap wire management solutions, or standard strut nuts,
available for purchase through your local electrical supply store.
NOTE: All conduit and wire ways should be grounded & bonded per the (NEC)
National Electric Code.
CLAMP ASSEMBLY & SIDE BOLT: The Module Clamp is made of a mill finish Aluminum and engages the return flange underneath the module. A stainless- steel nut with an external tooth washer affixed to the end of a bolt is pre- assembled with the module clamps, which secures and electrically bonds the module. Side bolt is used to connect the clamp assembly to ballast bay.
ROOF PAD: The Roof Pad provides a protective interface between the Ballast Bay and roofing material. Please consult the roofing manufacturer to see whether it is required and to verify compatibility. Additionally, roof pads are required for unattached system installation in certain seismic areas. Refer appendix A for roof pad usage requirements. The Roof Pad snaps into the holes on the bottom side of the Ballast Bay.
BALLAST BLOCK: The RM field ballast bay can fit up to 3 and a half standard 4”x8”x16” solid concrete cap blocks (4 blocks on north ballast bay). See Page 5 “Complete Ballast Placement” page of this document for more information. Block weight can range from 26 – 38 lbs. The weight of the block will have a major impact on how many will be required for the project so be sure to verify your block weights before using the U-builder online tool.
NOTE:
- CMU should comply with ASM standard specification for concrete roof pavers designation (C1491 or C90).
- Oxidization of the star washer is possible in high salt environments but does not impact the integrity of bonding or strength.
- System labels for the RM10 and RM10 Evo systems are identical. Visually inspect the system components to distinguish between RM10 and RM10 Evo.

SYSTEM GROUNDING
Although conformance with UL2703 was demonstrated without the use of oxide
inhibitor material, it is recommended by Ilsco to provide an optimized bonding
solution for their lay-in lug.
GROUNDING LUG MOUNTING DETAILS AS REQUIRED BY CODE & ENGINEER OF RECORD:
Details are provided for both the WEEB and Ilsco products. The WEEBLug has a
grounding symbol located on the lug assembly. The Ilsco lug has a green
colored set screw for grounding indication purposes. One lug is recommended
per continuous array, not to exceed 150ft X 150ft.
Unirac Roof Mount is intended to be used with PV arrays that have a system
voltage less than or equal to 1500VDC. A min. 10 AWG, 105 degrees Celsius
copper grounding conductor should be used to ground a 1500 VDC system,
according to the (NEC) National Electric Code and the authority having
jurisdiction. It is the installers responsibility to check codes, which may
vary.
NOTE: The specific site installation must be conducted in accordance with
the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and any relevant local jurisdiction
codes.
Ground Lug | Bolt Size | Drift Size | Torque Value |
---|---|---|---|
WEEB Lug | 1/4″-20 | 17/64″ | 10 ft-lbs |
lisco Lug | #10-32 | 7/32″ | 5 ft-lbs |
TEMPORARY GROUNDING & BONDING
TEMPORARY GROUNDING & BONDING PROCEDURE:
Periodic inspections should be conducted on the PV array to ensure there are
no components damaged, corroded or connected loosely.
Replace the damaged or corroded components and re-tighten loose components
according to the instructions.
If removing a module creates a discontinuity in the array which interrupts the
ground path, a temporary bonding jumper must be used to ground the isolated
array and ensure safety of the personnel and PV system.
NOTE: Removing a PV module from a system is not considered to be routine
maintenance. This type of activity should only be performed by trained and
qualified installers.
CAUTION: Module removal may disrupt the bonding path and could introduce
the risk of electric shock. Additional steps may be required to maintain the
bonding path.
Modules should only be removed by qualified persons in compliance with the
instructions in this manual.
NOTE: In order to prevent corrosion induced by dissimilar metals, it is
important to verify that the bare copper wire does not come into contact with
aluminum.
These materials must be kept separate.
APPROVED LUGS
WEEBLug UNIRAC PN 008002S
See product data sheet
Ilsco lay-in Lug Ilsco PN GBL-4DBT
See product data sheet
INSERT COPPER WIRE: Insert bare copper (#6 AWG) wire into each lug, providing a bonding jumper across the missing module location.
ATTACH LUGS: Use approved lug(s) to install on adjacent bays where the
module is being removed.
REMOVE MODULE & REVERSE THE OPERATION AFTER MAINTENANCE IS COMPLETE
NOTE: Removing a PV module from a system is not considered to be routine
maintenance. This type of activity should only be performed by trained and
qualified installers.

ROOF PAD INSTALLATION
ROOF PAD NOTE:
Roof pads are required for unattached system installation in certain seismic
areas or are included upon request, following below guidelines:
- Roof pads are always applied 2 per bay (one on each ski).
- When installing minimum roof pads for friction (at a 1:4 ratio), apply 2 roof pads to every 4th bay, staggering the offset between rows.
- Alternatively, install 2 roof pads to every other bay in a row of bays, then skip a row, and do it again.
- Skip any bays that have mechanical roof attachments (i.e., Anchor Products, OMG, or RM Flashloc attachments).
Compatibility with roofing surfaces
Unirac has thoroughly tested the material of the RM10 Roof Pad. An industry
leader in the evaluation of the compatibility of plastic and rubber
formulations tested its interaction with numerous roofing types at a range of
pressures and high temperatures. No change in surface or visible exchange
between raw materials was observed. Here are minimum ratios by main roof
types for applications where friction coefficients must be met:
EPDM | 1:1 | Pads on each bay |
---|---|---|
TPO | 1:4 | Pads on 1of every 4 bays |
PVC | 1:4 | Pads on 1of every 4 bays |
Mineral cap | N/A | No pads required |

FIRE & MLT TESTING
SYSTEM LEVEL FIRE CLASSIFICATION: The system fire class rating is only
valid when the installation is conducted in accordance with the assembly
instructions contained
in this manual. RM Roof Mount has been classified to the system level fire
portion of UL2703. It has achieved Class A performance for low sloped roofs
when used in conjunction with the following module constructions:
Type 1
Type 2
Type 3 with an aluminum frame
Type 19
Type 22
Type 25
Type 29
Type 30
In order to maintain the system Class A fire performance rating the following
criteria must be met:
- Modules are installed so that the junction box is away from the array perimeter. This can be ignored if the junction boxes are not near the edge of the module
- Minimum and maximum roof slopes are restricted through the system design and layout rules. The fire classification rating is only valid on roof pitches less than 2:12 (slopes < 2 inches per foot, or 9.5 degrees.
- Rack mounting system is to be installed over a fire resistant roof covering rated for the application
MECHANICAL LOAD TEST QUALIFICATION
The Unirac RM system has been tested to the mechanical load provisions of
UL2703 and covers the following basic parameters:
- PV module may have reduced load rating, independent of the RM10 EVO rating. please consult the PV module manufacturer’s installation guide for more information.
- Load rating may vary based on PV module area. Please Contact Unirac for more information
- Frame thickness greater than or equal to 1.0mm
- Basic single and double wall frame profiles
