MI-018CA 072216 © Schletter Canada Inc. • 3181 Devon Drive • Windsor, Ontario N8X 4L3 • Tel: (519) 946 – 3800 • Fax: (519) 946 – 3805 E-mail: [email protected] • www.schletter.ca Fix-EZ Designed for flat roof applications, the multifunction Fix-EZ solar mounting system mounts solar photovoltaic (PV) modules on roof tops with minimal load and materials, thereby reducing installation time and costs. The Fix-EZ is specifically designed to meet or exceed applicable IBC, ASCE, and UL standards. Features • Conforms to UL 27031 • Certified to ULC/ORD Std C1703 • Fire class resistance rating: Class A when used with Type I or Type II photovoltaic modules in landscape orientation only2 • Multiple module tilt options available3 • Portrait or landscape module orientation4 • Ballast block included • Includes Rapid5KTM grounding module clamps • Wind tunnel tested • Optional wire management • 30 Amp fuse series rating Provided as a complete mounting system, the Fix-EZ includes several multifunction components to maximize functionality and minimize cost. Ballast blocks act as ballast weight as well as system support. Module mounting rails support modules⁵ and act as windbreak with Rapid5K™ module clamps securely holding modules in place while bonding/grounding them to the system. The following is a guide to properly install a Fix-EZ in order to meet design and test standards.6 1The Fix-EZ is evaluated for electrical bonding only. The Fix-EZ meets all IBC and ASCE requirements for structural loading; it was not evaluated for loading under UL 2703. 2Special consideration needs to be taken during design phase if system requires protective fire barrier. 3Module tilt will vary depending on module manufacturer’s connection requirements: tilt options range from 7 degrees to 15 degrees 4Maximum number of modules shall not exceed maximum system voltage. 5 This racking system may be used to ground and/or mount a PV module complying with UL1703 only when the specific module has been evaluated for grounding and/or mounting in compliance with the included manual 6 Installer is responsible for verifying that photovoltaic system meets applicable NEC standards. 7 Individual parts and components may vary from system-to-system. Please reference system specific drawings. Key Components7 1. Concrete ballast blocks 2. Adjustable L-foot 3. Module support rails (purlins) 4. Rapid5KTM grounding module clamps 1 4 3 3 2

Please reference the specific project drawing for allowable tolerances and recommended torque for each size of bolt used in the system. In the event of deviation from approved drawings, contact Schletter immediately. Equipment Grounding • Many PV installations contain more than one mounting system. Such cases call for electrically bonding each of the different mounting systems. Since individual racks are fully bonded units it is only necessary to connect individual racks together from one single point to another single point.9 Only use stainless steel hardware when connecting harnesses or jumpers to the mounting system. Take care to prevent copper wires from directly contacting aluminum surfaces as this will cause corrosion. For this purpose, Schletter offers a bonding jumper on page 6. • The PV INSTALLER of Schletter’s electrically bonded Fix-EZ system must provide the components necessary for the final connections to the grounding electrode system. Typically the installation will incorporate a grounding electrode (ground rod), appropriately sized copper wire, rated wire connectors, and grounding lugs which are rated for this purpose. The PV INSTALLER must follow all manufacturers’ installation literature. Installation must comply with all applicable NEC/CSA sections including but not limited to; NEC 250 (Grounding and Bonding), NEC 690 (Solar Photovoltaic Systems), CSA 22.1 (Safety Standard for Electrical Installations), and all other applicable state and local electrical code requirements. • PV INSTALLER shall be fully responsible for all connections between Schletter’s bonded Fix-EZ system and PV grounding electrode system. • Equipment grounding conductors shall be no less than 14AWG (copper) or 12AWG (aluminum). • Equipment grounding conductors can be connected to any exposed metallic portion of rack system provided that: a. connection area is sufficiently sized b. dissimilar metals are not in direct contact c. connection does not interfere with other components d. connection is protected from damage 9Schletter recommends two bonding jumpers connect separate systems for redundancy.

Edges of parts may be sharp. Follow proper lifting guidelines as well as rooftop safety procedures.  Fix-EZ Product Sheet  Installation Video For more information Maintenance • Yearly inspection of system should be conducted to maintain optimal performance. • Visually inspect for signs of damage, wear, corrosion, or movement. Replace any affected components immediately. • Check for loose wiring • Mechanical details of the structure • At least 2% of bolted connections must be checked using a calibrated torque wrench. The torque wrench must have a display or be a click type torque wrench. • Torque wrench should be set at 50% of the intended tightening torque. Check is successful if the bolt cannot be loosened. • If >10% of the checked bolted connections are loose, the check has to be increased by a factor of five. • If more than 10% of connections are still loose, all bolted connections much be checked. • Tighten to specified torques • Requirements per ASME B107 and AISC • WARNING: Risk of death by electric shock • Maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel.
