CLAMPING    

Note that the clamping clips on the side frame should be installed in parallel to each other. 

The cross-section dimension of Back rail should be larger than 40mm*80mm. When 

Clamping on longer side frame, the side frames of clamping should touch longer sides of the 

module to ensure tight connection between frame and clamping.   

 

Figure 3-4 shows module mounting areas. The centerline of the clips should be between 

D1-281mm~D2-375mm from the short end of the module for

 

2400Pa design strength under 

UL 1703.
