Option 2: Universal Clamps

Turning the top plate of the Universal Clamp to switch the 
functionality between End and Inter Clamp as shown in Figure 9.

Note: Universal Clamp with part number of C-U/30/46 has no 
pre-fitted grounding clip and Universal Clamp with part number 
of C-U/30/46-G has pre-fitted grounding clip. Please use one of 
grounding clips layout arrangement methods above to position 
them correctly.

Important Notes:

• To fix the Grounding Clip properly, ensure the frames of PV Modules are completely pressed against End and Inter   
  Clamps and Grounding Clips. Visually check that Grounding Clips are positioned properly;
• Grounding Clips are intended for SINGLE USE ONLY! Only fasten the bolts down with recommended torque of 16~20  
  N·m when the position of the PV Module is finalized. (Only slightly tighten bolts to keep PV Modules in place prior to  
  the final check).

Incline the Universal Clamp to fit the lower channel of clamp against 
the lower rib of the Rail and press module of the Universal Clamp to 
click in the rail channel. Please make sure the upper channel of clamp 
fits against the upper rib of rail as shown in Figure 10.

Note: Before clicking in, make sure there is enough room between 
two “claws” of the module otherwise it needs to screw up the bolt 
as shown in Figure 11.
