It is also important to observe relevant local codes and regulations for health and safety and accident prevention. A) FIRE GUIDELINES Utilize the following fire safety guidelines when installing REC PE series modules: • REC PE Series modules have a Class C Fire Rating. A maximum slope of 5 in/ft is required to maintain the fire class rating. - Page 9 • Never attempt to disassemble the modules. E) MOUNTING REC PE Series modules are designed strictly for capturing solar radiation and are not suitable for installation as overhead or vertical glazing. The distance between the modules and the installation surface must be at least 10 cm (4 in) to ensure adequate cooling.
- Page 10 NOTE: In areas of snow build-up modules can be subjected to forces in excess of the stated limit even when snow depth does not appear extreme, thus causing damage to the framework. If the installation is likely to be affected by this, further suitable module support is recommended on the lower row of modules.
