Attaching Mounting Brackets - ESDEC CLICKFIT BASIC Manual

6.3 Attaching mounting brackets

On the basis of the position of the solar panels on the roof, you determine the position of the mounting brackets.
With solar panels in portrait setup the mounting brackets are fixed on 1/4 H of the top panel and panel-bottom edge, at
a mutual distance 2/4 H. Divide the mounting brackets proportionally in the assembly line where the rails will be. The
mounting brackets may be positioned up to 120 cm apart (see calculator for distance). Place on the ends an additional
mounting bracket at a mutual distance of about 30 cm.
1. Mark with chalk or marker on the roof in a straight line the place where the mounting brackets should come.
2. Apply with a kit gun, the Tixophalte kit on the underside of the mounting brackets in a closed circle in order to prevent the
screw hole from leaking. (See processing instructions Tixophalte kit)
2A. Optionally, you can also use self-adhesive EPDM sealing tape instead of the Tixophalte kit for example with EPDM
roofs (see annex on page 14)
3. Ensure that the 2 screw holes of the mounting bracket are completely enclosed.
4. Place the mounting brackets along the marked line on the roof. Always place the mounting brackets parallel to each
other. Make sure that the mounting brackets are never placed on the transition seam of the roof sheets, but place them at
least 5 cm from this seam. Screw the mounting bracket to the eaves with the chipboard screw 5,0x40mm.
For this step only screw the top screw. This allows the mounting bracket to still move something, which makes clicking the
mounting rail easier. Use a cordless screwdriver with bit PZ2 until the bracket is tightened and the kit visibly flows out under
the bracket.
5. Make sure that the mounting brackets are mutually aligned.
Be aware: Differences in height in the roof can easily be filled by means of a special increment
block (optional).
With solar panels in landscape setup you go through the same steps above, the only mounting brackets are rotated
90 degrees and the mounting rails are placed vertically and secured on top. (see annex on page 14)
