Step 1: Pre Assembling The Aluminum Pv Module Support Rails - Tamarack Solar LTP HW Mount Series Installation Manual

Pre Assembly for Model LTP LCR/124HW with High Load Kit
NOTE: Some parts and hardware come from both the High Load Kit and the basic mount. The
following steps supersede some of the steps in the instruction manual included with the mount
this High Load Kit is being installed onto. The original mount manual should be disregarded, and
this manual used in its place.
Step 1: Assembling the Aluminum PV Module Support Rails
The kit for the LTP LCR/124HW top of pole mount will contain four 56” and four 68” Module
Support Rails, along with four 30” Connectors. The High Load Kit will contain an additional two
56” and two 68” Rails with two additional 30” Connectors. The two inside rail assemblies are
doubled up to provide more strength for higher wind and snow loading.
NOTE: Each column of three PV modules will need either one left side or one right side single
Module Support Rail assembly (when viewed from the south side of the pole) and one doubled
Module Support Rail assembly. The open sides of the two single rail assemblies (one per column)
will be attached to the back of the PV modules (and then to the mount) facing inward towards the
center of the PV modules. The doubled rail assemblies are to be placed on the inside (nearest to
the pole) of each three module column. All of the rail assemblies need to have the 56” rail
sections on the upper (north end) of each three module column, as shown in Detail E.
A. Start by assembling the two single rail units, one left side and one right side. Lay one 56” and one
68” rail end to end, with the insides of the rails facing the same way, and with the flanges with the
obround slots on the same side of both rails, and bolt them together using one of the 30”
Connectors. Center the Connector on the seam between the two rail lengths and be sure that the
obround slots in the Connector are on the same side of the obround slots in the rails.
B. Repeat with a second set of 56” and 68” Module Support Rails and Connector, except reverse the
position of the 56” rail section to be on the opposite end of this 68” Channel compared to the first
assembly. See Detail A for both assemblies.
