Assembling System Using Cross Rails:

Follow the assembly sequence for the 
horizontal, substructure rail described in 
sections 1 to 3.2.

Mount the vertical mounting rails onto the 
horizontal substrate rails for each row of 
modules using the cross adapters.

Click the cross adapters onto the base 
rails and slide attachment lip into channel 
on base rail. Fasten the clamp screws by 
turning clockwise.  

See Figures 5.2 & 

5.3

 (Torque: 6 to 8 ft. Lbs)

Use the correct number of cross adapters for the mounting rails. Number of 
clamps per intersection point:

•  ST/AK 60/37 = 2 cross adapter
•  ST/AK 66/37 = 2 cross adapters
•  ST/AK 66/37 = 2 cross adapters
•  ST/AK 120/90 = 4 cross adapters

To set up several mounting rails in a 
row, follow the procedure described 
under section 1-3.

Slide the end clamp onto the vertical mounting rails as shown in section 4.1.
Afterwards, slide a locking clip onto the end of each vertical mounting rail 
and fasten it by tightening the screw clockwise.

 See Figure 5.4 

 

(Torque: 6 to 8 ft. lbs.)

Slide the first module into 
the end clamp. Then, 
adjust the end clamp to 
the module frame height 
as illustrated in section 
4.1. Additional modules 
are mounted as described 
in sections 4.2 to 4.5.

Key Components:

•  C-Si End Clamp 
•  C-Si Mid Clamp 
•  Thin Film End Clamp 
•  Thin Film Mid Clamp
•  Cross Adapter 
•  Angle Bracket
•  ST-AK 66/37 Mounting Rail
•  ST-AK 60/37 Mounting Rail

•  Locking Clip 
•  Anti-Slip Hardware 
•  ST-AK 66/37 Splice
•  ST-AK 60/37 Splice
