Mounting Methods: Mounting Holes - Panasonic EverVolt EVPV Series General Installation Manual

MOUNTING METHODS:
MOUNTING HOLES
EverVolt modules can be installed
utilizing the four mounting holes 0.4 x
0.25 in (11 x 6.6 mm) on the underside
of the module [Figure 18 & 19] in
conjunction with a device, e.g., screws,
lockbolts or structural blind fasteners,
with specifications suitable for the
installation (Figure 20).
Installing the EverVolt modules using
the mounting holes has been found to
comply with UL 61730 requirements
for downward pressure,e.g., snow, of
up to 5400 Pa (3600 Pa design load*)
and upward pressure,e.g., wind, of
up to 2400 Pa (1600 Pa design load*)
according to the following instructions
GR
(*design loads apply a safety factor of
1.5 to the stated test load, e.g., test
load 5400 Pa / 1.5 = 3600 Pa design
load).
The product warranty will be voided if
additional holes are made in the frame.

be corrosion resistant.
When installing using mounting holes,
the frame and module edge of each
module must be supported by two rails
of aluminium or galvanized steel
suitable for the application and
appropriate for the local environment.
Observe the following procedures when
using mounting
holes:
• The mounting construction must be
of a corrosion resistant material,
e.g., aluminum or galvanized
steel, and appropriate for the local
environment.
• All four mounting holes in the
frame must be used (Figure 21).

• Additional electrical bonding to
Ground is required for the support
structure,
• Refer to the fixing device
manufacturer's installation
instructions for preload or torque
values.
• Do not contact a tip of a mounting

• EverVolt modules must be secured
with a torque between 8.8-18.4 ft-
lb (12 - 25 Nm ).
• Module should be attached on a
mount or support structure rail by
corrosive-resistant metal clamps.
• Appropriate material should be
used for mounting hardware (the
module frame, mounting structure,
and hardware) to prevent itself
from corrosion.
• Panasonic does not provide a
