Page 9: Configuration And Ballast Plan
Configuration and ballast plan Mounting system The configuration and ballast plans are project specific and calculated using Autarco’s Helios remote survey tool. Please follow the exact instructions of the configuration and ballast plans. Below is an example of a ballast plan screenshot. The numbers on the solar panels represent how many ballast units or tiles are needed at that position. -

Page 11: Positioning The Rows
Positioning the rows Mounting system Place the first row of base units on the roof according to the configuration plan. Click! Lift up the pillars until you hear a click! Flow Mounting System (Symmetrical) - Page 12 ATTENTION! The ballast rack features numbers and letters. The number-letter combination of the panel used can be found in the configuration plan, or in the back of this manual. In the case of double ballast racks: Place a ballast rack at position A and position B. Flow Mounting System (Symmetrical)
- Page 13 ATTENTION! Make sure the holes used in the ballast connetor match the length of the connector plate. 10 mm 3-4 Nm Fix the ballast rack with four short screws. ATTENTION! When using double ballast racks, only the first ballast rack needs to be fixed with screws. Click! Flow Mounting System (Symmetrical)
- Page 14 Place the ballast according to the ballast plan. ATTENTION! Only use the type of ballast described in the ballast plan. Never stack ballast. When using tiles as ballast, place the tiles as shown below. Single ballast rack Double ballast rack Flow Mounting System (Symmetrical)

Page 16: Placing The Panels
ATTENTION! Make sure the top clamp is in the front of the ridge of the pillar, so that the clamp remains facing upwards. Place the panel upright into the top clamps. Allign the panel so that the distance from the short side of the panel to the clamp (x) is equel on both sides. Flow Mounting System (Symmetrical) - Page 17 Mounting system 10 mm 5-7 Nm Tighten the screws of the top clamps. Connect the panel cable.. 10 mm 5-7 Nm Turn the panel downwards. Slide the lower clamps against the panel and tighten the screws. Flow Mounting System (Symmetrical)
