    9.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The module is considered to be in compliance with IEC 61730 and UL 1703 only when the module is mounted in the manner specified by the mounting instructions below. We recommend using the following orientation to install the module. The maximum number of modules connected in series /parallel for MSE PERC 72 is 24/1 and maximum number of modules connected in series /parallel for MSE PERC 60 is 19/1.
  • Page 14: Mounting Clamps

    9.1 MOUNTING CLAMPS Use the mounting holes as a reference - 297 mm (MSE PERC 60) or 370 mm (for MSE PERC 72) for mounting clamp location. Make sure that the module is evenly between the two rails and sits perpendicular on the railing. If the module is not perpendicular, slightly adjust the end-clamp positions to get the proper alignment.
