8. Position the mounting rail and insert the screws through the rail and into the roof
batten, place a rubber washer as a seal between the roof surface and the mounting
rail, then evenly tighten the screws. Do not over tighten and break a tile.
NOTE:
ensure a rubber sealing washer is placed between the
rail and the roof surface for each screw hole, to provide
adequate sealing of the screw hole from water ingress. Use
adequate amounts of silicone sealant into the holes before
placing the screws in the holes.
9. Also ensure that the fixing screws are of sufficent length to
adequately secure the brackets to the roof.
10. Measure and where possible evenly space the three rails to
fit under the panels.
11. Fit the middle and top rails as per steps 3 thrhough to 9.
12. After the three mounting rails have been fixed to the roof, fix a
set of side brackets on the lefthand edge of each of the rails.
Then lift the first panel into place and fix that panel to the rail
bracket. Once this has been done you can then lift the 2
nd
panel into place and using the two barrell unions supplied in
the panel fixing kit, join the 2
nd
panel to the first panel.
13. Then fix the second panel to the rail brackets. The panels are
now secure.
14. A total of 3 rails are required for cyclone rated areas.
15. Connect them as shown in the diagram, remembering to use
Teflon tape or approved liquid sealant on all plumbing joints.
16. Always use two spanners to tighten panel fittings, and do
not exert any torque on the panels.

NOTE:
WATER FLOW THROUGH PANELS - the water inlet
from the pump must be connected to the lower header pipe of
the array. Ensure that the water exits the panels from the top
