4_Basics 1. BASICS 1.1 Notes For the installation of the TRI-FLAT East-West mounting system only products from the range of the TRI-FLAT South mounting system must be used. Using third-party components can result in adverse effects on the system’s stability and in major damages. -
Page 5: Roof Condition
Bascis_5 1.4 Roof condition The current condition of the roof must be such, that renovation will not be- come necessary for a period of at least 20 years. In case of doubt, it is advis- able to have the roof checked by an expert. The TRI-FLAT South mounting system has been optimised for flat roofs with plane surfaces. -

6_Installation 2. INSTALLATION 2.1 Tools The TRI-FLAT bending tool is required for the installation of TRI-FLAT East-West. 2.2 Setup Mounting is provided in five steps: 1. Pre-mounting of the substructure 2. Preparation of the roof and setup of substructure 3. Ballasting 4. - Page 7 Installation_7 2. Mounting the central module holder Click in the bracket between two bottom profiles. Care must be taken that both profiles are flush together and the bracket is centred. Subsequently, the connection between bracket and bottom profiles is bent off at four points using the TRI-FLAT bending tool.
- Page 8 8_Installation If necessary, for drainage of water, 2 holes may be drilled into the carrier of the lower module holder in those places which module manufacturers demand. 4. Clicking in lower module holder Click the lower module holder into the bottom profile. Click clip into bottom profile and push over link of the module holder.
- Page 9 Installation_9 5. Determine space of module holder Place gauge onto the carrier of the upper and lower module holders with the corresponding module width plus the module width tolerance of 2 mm (va- lue by experience). Push the lower module holder so far that the gauge lies flush on both bra- ckets without any clearance With the bending tool, bend off 1x per edge flush on the lower module hol- der and the bottom profile.

10_Installation 2.2.2. Preparation of the roof and setup of substructure 1. Laying out the protective bottom mat On the roof, the grid is drawn in accordance with the row division (RT) and the module length + a. a = space between two modules (e.g. 5 mm) plus tolerance of module length (depending on manufacturer, e.g. - Page 11 Installation_11 2. Laying out the substructure elements Pre-mounted elements are laid onto the protective building mat and orien- ted on the grid. Subsequently, placement can be started in the corner area of the system in north-south direction or in east-west direction or in both direc- tions simultaneously The respective elements are connected with a series connector (see step 3).
- Page 12 12_Installation Subsequently, the series connector and the bottom profile must be edge-bent with the bending tool 4 x per series connector Note: The bend must be torn out. There are three possible bending places: 1. On facing edges of the module carrier. 2.

Page 13: Ballasting The System
Installation_13 2.2.3 Ballasting the system 1. Ballasting method Ballasting is effected in accordance with the design plan At the beginning and the end of the row, at least half of the declared ballast per module must rest on the outer bottom profile. For modules with row neighbours to both sides, the declared ballast per mo- dule can be distributed in random weighting to the northern or southern bottom profile. - Page 14 14_Installation 3. Additional ballasting, easternmost and westernmost row If the module at the eastern edge has a western neighbouring module or, re- spectively, the one on the western edge has an eastern neighbouring modu- le, that part of the ballast exceeding 40 kg may also be placed outside of the field on the east or west side respectively.
- Page 15 Installation_15 The transparent ballast stones are set each depending on the ballast require- ment. A maximum of 2 ballast stones can be set one atop the other, and they are staggered by a few cm toward the inside and the rear. Hereinafter are to examples showing where to place the ballast stones.

Page 16: Insertion Of Earthing Plates
16_Installation Example for ballasting 3 rows: 2.2.4 Insertion of earthing plates The earthing plate is placed between the grooves of the module carrier on the upper module holder. Two earthing plates are placed per module carrier. The distance of the earthing plates to the edge of the module carriers is 40 –... -
Page 17: Insertion And Fixation Of Pv Modules
Installation_17 2.2.5 Insertion and fixation of PV modules Place PV module onto the prepared substructure. The module must rest flush and centrically in the upper and lower module holder. Per module, place 4 clamps (fitting with the thickness of the module) on the long side and click in. -
Page 18: Module Replacement
18_Installation 2.2.6 Module Replacement Position of the module clamp to be removed. As required, modules may be removed again. To this end, the module clamps are loosened by means of the bending tool. In the picture, the usable part of the bending tool is circled in red. -

The data sheet of the protective building mats used by TRITEC may be requested. If other protective building mats are used or an intermediate layer or from another surface, a friction value (wet) of at least 0.6 is to be... -
