  • Remove the Stainless Steel Clip on Tigo-”A” MLPE Devices before attaching to Aire rails.
  • Use the number of Aire MLPE Hardware allowed by the MLPE mounting flange. Some will require 1 kit and others 2 kits.

CONTOUR

Install Contour
Install Contour on a completed array.

  • A. Start by placing Contour Clamp on module frame within 12 inches of the down roof corner of the array. Each piece of 84″ Contour Trim must be suppported by two Clamps. Clamps must be installed in the 12″ clamping zones at edge of trim. Once trim is placed and in position, secure trim by tightening Clamp set screw to 80 in-lbs.
  • B. Multiple Contour pieces can be joined using Contour Splice. Install Splice on exsisting Contour edge and install Clamps in appropriate clamping zones for next piece of trim. Place trim on Clamps, slide into splice to join two pieces together. Secure Contour by tightening Clamp set screw to 80 in-lbs. Repeat as needed across the array.
  • C. Cut trim to line up with edge of array.
  • D. Install Clamps within clamping zones on side of array. Install second Clamp as needed up array. Place Corner Cap on trim and slide side trim to align with Cap. Repeat as needed along roof for both inside and outside corners.
  • E. Use optional End Caps to cover any exposed edges of Contour as desired.
  • Do not install on side of array facing roof peak.
  • Contour can be installed with 1 clamp if trim section is 12″ long (or shorter) and has a splice attached on one end, on which the section of trim the 12″ section is spliced to also has 2 clamps.
  • Contour Trim when installed when installed up roof requires the use of Aire Stealth Clamps.
  • Wind Speed: no restrictions
  • Ground Snow: up to 90 PSF

JAYBOX

A.
Prior to installation, use step drill bit to place pass through holes for conduits or water-tight connectors. Drill bit starter locations are provided on the sides and front of enclosure.

  • Do not install conduit facing up roof.

B (Rail).
Use rail-specific MLPE mounting hardware to attach Rail Hangers to rail. Ensure junction box is pushed as close to the rail as possible. Torque to 80-in lbs (1/2″ or 7/16″ socket).

  • Do not over-tighten
  • If installing in areas with ground snow loads greater than 40 psf, install JayBox under module directly next to module frame edge.

B (Shingle).
Align sealing oval of box to align with mating feature on flashing. An EPDM foam gasket is pre-installed to the underside of the junction box to seal the flashing to the box without the need for additional sealant. Secure with supplied #12 x 1-¾” deck screws (2x) until the junction box is pulled tight to the flashing. Do not over-tighten screws to avoid stripping screws in OSB.

  • If installing pass through fittings, ensure that the JayBox and roof deck are both properly prepared. Complete installation process before attaching the Jaybox to the deck.
  • Do not install JayBox under shingle seam as illustrated below.

C.
Install wiring, conduit and fittings per NEC Requirements and following local AHJ guidance. Using Philips Head Driver tighten the bolt.

  • For additional details refer to the full QM Installation Manual.

CONDUIT MOUNT
QM CONDUIT MOUNT – COMPOSITION SHINGLE

Place conduit mounts along path of conduit. Lift shingle above mount location and insert flashing into position. Mark center for drilling, remove flashing and drill pilot hole with 1/8″ bit. Clean area, fill hole with roofing manufacturer’s approved sealant. Lift shingle and slide Conduit Mount into place. Prepare the lag bolt with sealing washer and pipe clamp (not included). Insert lag through hole in block and drill with 7/16″ socket until block is tight.

  • Install mounts as required to support conduit across the roof.
  • For additional details refer to the full QM Installation Manual.

QM BUG – COMPOSITION SHINGLE
Place BUG conduit mounts along path of conduit. Clean area, place mount and drive RD Structural Screw using 5/16” socket. Prepare the Tri-lobe Screw and pipe clamp (not included). Insert screw in an unused hole in block and drill with 5/16″ socket until screw is tight.

  • Install mounts as required to support conduit across the roof.
  • For additional details refer to the full QM Installation Manual.

QM CONDUIT MOUNT – TILE

Remove the tile that the mount will be installed on, and the tiles in the course above it. Lift the bottom of the tile and slide the bottom clamp over the bottom edge of the tile. Insert the 4″ tap bolt through the slot into the threaded hole and use a 7/16″ socket to thread the screw. Tighten until the top clamp hook end unbends and forms a 90 degree angle with the tile. Use the Cap Screw (included) to attach your pipe clamp (not included) to bottom clamp. Insert conduit and tighten with 7/16″ socket.

  • The clamp is reversible, use the wider hook end on tile greater than 1″ thick and the thinner hook end on tiles less than 1″ thick.
  • The installation process is the same on curved tile, make sure that the Conduit Mount is installed on the crown(high point) of the tile.
  • Install mounts as required to support conduit across the roof.
  • For additional details refer to the full QM Installation Manual.
