Any inquiries that you may haveconcerning installation of the PV system should be directed to your SunModo Sales representative. ConsultSunModo Sales for any information not contained in this manual. This manual is intended to be used as a guidewhen installing SunModo’s EZ Roof Mount System on pitched roofs. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensurethe safe installation of this product as outline herein. Installer shall employ only SunModo products detail herein. The use of non SunModo components canvoid the warranty and cancel the letters of UL compliance.Installer shall guarantee that screws and anchors have adequate pullout strength and shear capacities.Installer shall adhere to the torque values specified in this Instruction Manual.Installer shall use anti-seize compound, such as Permatex anti-seize, lubricant is recommended for allthreaded parts.Installer is responsible to install EZ Pitched Roof System over a Fire Resistant roof covering rated for theapplication.Installer is responsible to determine that the roof, its rafters, connections, and other architectural supportcomponents can sustain the array under all code level loading conditions.Installer shall adhere to all relevant local or national building codes. This takes account of those thatsupplant this document’s requirements.Installer shall guarantee the safe placement of all electrical details of the PV array.Installer shall comply with all applicable local, state and national building codes, including periodic reinspection of the installation for loose components, loose fasteners and any corrosion, such that if found,the affected components are to be immediately replaced.Installer to ensure the structural support members or footings for mounting the array can withstand allcode loading conditions. Consult with licensed professional engineer for the appropriate loadingconditions.Installer to follow all regional safety requirements during installation.This racking system may be used to ground and/or mount a PV module complying with UL 1703 onlywhen the specific module has been evaluated for grounding and/or mounting in compliance with theincluded instructions.Safety:Review relevant OSHA and other safety standards before following these instructions. The installation of solar PVsystems is a dangerous procedure and should be supervised by trained and experienced personnel.It is not possible for SunModo to be aware of all the possible job site situations that could cause an unsafe conditionto exist. The installer of the roof system is responsible for reading these instructions and determining the safest wayto install the roof system. These instructions are provided only as a guide to show a knowledgeable, trained erectorthe correct part placement one to another. If following any of the installation steps would endanger a worker, theerector should stop work and decide upon a corrective action. Provide required safety railing, netting, or safety linesfor crew members working on the roof.Specifications:EZ Roof Mount K10068 is certified for International Building Code and International Residential Codes (IRC) byIAPMO. Evaluation Report is 0248, structural test per EC002-2011 and rain test per UL 441-96.4 of 29

EZ Pitched Roof SystemSunModo Self-Grounding SystemSunModo developed a proprietary grounding and bonding system that is built into the mounting hardware forthe rails, clamps and splices. We provide further grounding through all of the SunBeam racking componentsincluding the Pipe Caps, Beams, Posts and Post Base Plates. All hardware meet UL 2703 Grounding andFire Standards tested by ETL.The basis of the system is our patented stainless steel floating grounding pin which is designed to be captivein the mounting components and provides a bonding path from the PV panel frames to the rails and railsplices, and finally to the ground lug. The self-grounding and bonding system is for use with PV modulesthat have a maximum series fuse rating of 30A. The maximum number of PV modules is limited by thesystem voltage, so in a system has multiple inverters, the SunModo racking system can theoretically go onforever.Finally we have added a spring and Blue 242 Loctite to our Mid Clamp assemblies. The sprig keeps the MidClamp in the open position ready to receive the solar module. The Blue Loctite is a light bonding agentallowing the T-Bolt engagement into the Rail when the Collar Nut is turned from above. The Blue Loctitehas the added benefit of being an anti-seize agent for stainless steel hardware in the area where it isapplied. For additional anti-seize protection refer to the ‘Tools Required for Installation’ section of thisdocument.Mid Clamp with Ground PinsSimilarly, the rail splices the grounding pins, eliminating the need for extra bonding components.Rail Splices with Grounding Pins6 of 29
