Schletter Fix-EZ Installation Manual

Fix-EZ
Designed for flat roof applications, the multifunction Fix-EZ solar mounting system mounts solar photovoltaic (PV) modules on
roof tops with minimal load and materials, thereby reducing installation time and costs. The Fix-EZ is specifically designed to meet
or exceed applicable IBC, ASCE, and UL standards.
Features
• Conforms to UL 2703
• Certified to ULC/ORD Std C1703
• Fire class resistance rating: Class A when used with
Type I or Type II photovoltaic modules in landscape orientation only
• Multiple module tilt options available
• Portrait or landscape module orientation
• Ballast block included
Includes Rapid5K
•
TM
• Wind tunnel tested
• Optional wire management
• 30 Amp fuse series rating
Provided as a complete mounting system, the Fix-EZ includes several multifunction components to maximize functionality and
minimize cost. Ballast blocks act as ballast weight as well as system support. Module mounting rails support modules⁵ and act as
windbreak with Rapid5K™ module clamps securely holding modules in place while bonding/grounding them to the system. The
following is a guide to properly install a Fix-EZ in order to meet design and test standards.

Module tilt will vary depending on module manufacturer's connection requirements: tilt options range from 7 degrees to 15 degrees
4 Maximum number of modules shall not exceed maximum system voltage.
5 This racking system may be used to ground and/or mount a PV module complying with UL1703 only when the specific module has been evaluated for grounding and/or mounting in
compliance with the included manual
6 Installer is responsible for verifying that photovoltaic system meets applicable NEC standards.
Individual parts and components may vary from system-to-system. Please reference system specific drawings.
