50*25mm Wooden Batten (2-4) spacing required is 998mm between
Bottom Edge (2-1) position & top of module anchor position of the
Upper Frame.
Two supporting 50*25mm Wooden Battens are placed between these
battens, leaving approxamatley 332mm space between each batten.
Spacing is repeated on every subsequent row using the lower row anchor
position in place of Bottom Edge position.
Install the modules left-to-right, starting with the bottom row.
Complete the installation of each row before beginning the row
above.
Note: The first row of tiles beneath the array must be in place
before beginning installation.
Install
Seal Strip 03 (3-7).
The top of the Seal Strip 03 will cover
the bottom batten and provide a waterproof barrier between the
array and first row of tiles. The Seal Strip 03 should be formed
with care
on top of the first row of tiles below
. Allow 150mm -
200mm overrun after each end of the bottom batten. This will be
covered later by the side flashings.
Caution: Correct alignment of Flashing-Bottom & Bottom
Edge is a critical step of installation, take extra care to ensure
correct alignment.
Install
Flashing-Bottom (3-6)
&
Bottom Edge (2-1)
Align both Flashing-Bottom & Bottom Edge with the top of the
bottom batten.
Use the
Self-Tapping Fixings 5*30mm (2-2)
to secure both into
position.
