NOTICES AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read this document before beginning installation work . Plan for safe practice during any installation activity with respect tohazards from tripping, falling, lifting, repetitive stress, and any overhead or electrical hazards. When working close to building roof edges, consider protection options that reduce worker exposure to fall hazards. Refer to OSHA Sub-Chapter 7, Group 1, Article 2.

The SunLink Roof Mount System (RMS) is made from aluminum alloy, fastened together with stainless steel assembly hardware.Aluminum alloy components are manufactured per ASTM B209 and ASTM B221. 5052-H32 is used for sheetmetal components, andtempered 6000 series alloys are used for extruded components. In the forms used in SunLink, these materials are considered to benon-toxic. Metal components often have sharp edges. Handle carefully! Wearing gloves is good practice.

This document is not prescriptive regarding safety and does not purport to address all the safety concerns that may arise with itsuse. Contractors should become familiar with all applicable safety, health and regulatory requirements before beginning work.

Electrical safety notice

Any time a SunLink panel contains two or more electrically interconnected modules, a shock hazard ispresent. SunLink is a mechanical system and contains no live parts. Mechanical installers and electricians should coordinate inorder to ensure that all personnel are aware of electrical hazards.

Precedence

The SunLink RMS positions and secures photovoltaic modules. DC stringing and interconnection of the modulesrequires placement of conduit, conduit ttings and combiner boxes. Nothing in this document is intended to limit the allocati on of rooftop space or to control crafts with respect to work precedence and coordination.

Build rate

Estimated mechanical installation rate (modules per day) for an array consisting of commercial-class modules installedwith a SunLink RMS and assuming a well-equipped four-person crew is on the roof and working 7.5 hours / day with full taskinterchangeability: > 120 modules / day.

As-built documentation process

On-roof use and mark-up of this document and the drawings and printed matter referred to inthis document is good practice. Mark up and annotate the drawings on a regular basis, noting completions, exceptions, dimensionalinconsistencies, etc.

Field modi cations

Unauthorized eld modication of SunLink components or assemblies may affect SunLink warranty coverage.Provide marked up drawings for SunLinks review, comment and approval prior to attempting any eld modications.

Work arounds

Workers laying out or installing arrays on rooftops may encounter undocumented or unexpected obstaclesrequiring a work around . Since PV arrays are intended to be primarily regular and repeating structures, work arounds should benoted on working drawings. When a work around affects the location of two or more modules at once, the supervisor should beadvised and the work around should be evaluated and then completed in a manner that ensures that the remainder of the array isnot affected.

Roof surface

All large at roofs have pitch and undulation, jointed assemblies, and may also have level separations and parapets.Various roof-mounted ttings, air vent pipes and equipment such as HVAC or process equipment may also be encountered. Theprecise location of many rooftop details is not known since such details are installed under conditions in which the worker orcontractor may have discretion regarding nal location.

Fire Safe Roof The SunLink RMS is to be mounted over a fire resistant roof covering rated for the application. The SunLink RMS isnot meant for sloped roofs where the slope is greater than 1 :12 (7 or 12%).


3/38


Fit-up

SunLink is a designed- t system and is assembled using fasteners and assembly bolt sets. Matching hole locations areengineered to ensure long-term reserve assembly strength and life cycle reliability. Since undulation and slope is required to ensureroof drainage, SunLink incorporates features that allow the array to follow the roof contour. Line-up for nal bolted connection

typically involves light bucking in during assembly. A drift pin is a useful tool with which to align holes for cross-bolting.

Roof life and care

The service life of any roof is contingent upon care for the roof especially during equipment installation on aroof. Avoid concentrated loads on the roof. Never drag SunLink components into place. Instead, elevate the component, and thenmove it manually or with a cart. Locate it and then place it on spot. To ensure roo ng system warranty continuation, work withroo ng system installation contractors to ensure roong system array compatibility.

WARNING! Single-ply roofs are not damage tolerant. Avoid accumulation of metal nes that result from drilling or sawing metalcomponents. Metal nes embedded in the soles of shoes can damage single -ply roofs.

Fasteners All required fasteners are furnished with the SunLink RMS. All fasteners are 18Cr-8Ni stainless steel. For any assembly,nish initial

bolted assembly to nger tight. Refer to the Installation Manual for detailed information on application. Button -headcap screws (BHCS) are precision, low-pro le fasteners. Use of air-powered tools that do not incorporate means to limit appliedtorque may damage the head of these fasteners and is not recommended.

Final inspection Visually inspect assembled SunLink arrays, roof-mounted or ground supported. The suggested process consists of a row-by-row walk-through and then a perimeter walk-around, after mechanical assembly, before electrical completion. Report anydistortion in the assembly to SunLink. Array substrate supports should be in full contact with the roof or the ground. Any indicationof uneven distribution of weight should be evaluated and corrected before continuing with electrical nishing.

GENERAL PROCEDURE NOTES

A. The SunLink system assembles modules into panels as follows:

4x1 4 modules assembled into one panel3x1 3 modules assembled into one panel2x1 2 modules assembled into one panel

B. Tilt brackets Tilt brackets are multi-function SunLink assemblies. Together with longitudinal links, tilt brackets make up the SunLink roof

substrate. Tilt brackets enable free-standing array support and allow for mechanical anchoring. Tilt bracket bases can beadapted to any roof type. Tilt bracket covers set the array angle of incidence, connect SunLink panels to the substrate sub-system and establish array row spacing.

Tilt brackets are con gured for easy eld assembly and are shipped in two parts. Tilt bracket covers are shipped in a semi-formed condition and need final forming to be completed on-site and are then attached to the tilt bracket bases. Thisminimizes on site storage and reduces shipping and handling bulk.

Assembly time for tilt bracket is about 10 seconds. The assembly process is worker friendly. As is true for any precisionassembly, a light touch works best.

Do not over-bend the tilt bracket cover.

C. TILT ACCESS is a unique feature to SunLink that lets you ip the panels up and out of the way. During installation do not leave panels unattended in the tilt up position. Do not place panels in locked tilt up position if

winds exceed 15mph.

D. Temporary ballast At the end of every work day, ensure all components are securely attached. Temporary ballast (i.e. sandbags) may be

required to secure the system to the roof during the installation process to prevent movement or damage due to wind.

E. Safety For all day handling of aluminum components, wear gloves.

Be careful of pinch hazards, especially when lowering panels onto tilt brackets

BALLAST PAN INSTALLATION

One method of hold down for the SunLink RMS is ballasted. SunLink has various methods for ballasting the RMS which make use of commonly available pavers. Ballast pans are available in 3 different sizes, 12, 16 and 24. The 12 and 24 ballast pans aredesigned to work with 12 x 12 x 2 (nominal) pavers weighing 24 lbs each. The 16 ballast pan is designed to work with 16 x 8 x2 (nominal) pavers, weighing 18 lbs each.14 gauge (.08) stainless steel wires are tied to each side of the ballast pan are used to secure the pavers to the pan. Length of wirerequired will depend on ballast pan and number of pavers used, for example a 24 ballast pan with 8 pavers would requireapproximately 6 of wire per pan. 9 of wire is provided per pan for worst case.

Note : A suitable waterproof adhesive can be used in place of the wire ties. Use adhesive to attach the pavers to the ballast pan andto attach pavers to pavers.

Step 1. Place ballast pans

Place ballast pan over longitudinal link and keep pan close to the North row tilt bracket cover.
