4.1.2 FixZ Pro Setup I. The fasteners (Rapid Pro SMLs or Seam Clamps), based on the roofing sheet application, are positioned as per the installation plan. The variables A, B and C as per [Fig 4.1.2] need to be determined at the site before securing the FixZ Pro frames to the roof purlins.
4.2 Rail Installation 4.2.1 Choice of rail The FixZ Pro rails come in standard sizes of 4400mm. 4.2.2 Add Rail Splice I. To increase the array length, rails can be spliced together using rail joiners [Fig 4.2.2A]. II. Insert half of internal splice into first rail, push until it reaches midpoint where the stop tab is located under the splice [Fig 4.2.2B].
4.2.3 FixZ Pro Rail + Elevation Element + Module Support Pro The FixZ rails are positioned by placing the square channel at the bottom of the rail on top of the multi-adapter. The higher side of the rail, A, should be facing down the slope of the roof for both the top and bottom rails.
4.3 Module Mounting 4.3.1 Position Modules I. Position end clamps on rail approximately 20mm from end of rail, do not tighten [Fig 4.3.1]. II. Position first module and secure using pre- positioned end clamps, do not tighten. III. Attach middle clamps to rail on the exposed side Fig 4.3.1: Positioning end clamp of the first module.
4.4.1 Micro-Inverter/Optimiser Kit Proline The optimiser kits enable the mounting of optimisers and micro- inverters on top of Fix Z Pro rails: Add an additional Module Support Pro to either the top or bottom row of the PV array, as shown in [Fig 4.4.1].
