CAUTION
The center point of each clamp and the minimum grip length must be fully located in the same clamping zones to be rated to that load (fig.
10
).
If the panel is secured in zones with di
ff
erent load values, it is rated to the lowest load value only.

Once a module is secured in each of the
4
zones (fig.
2
), additional clamps, i.e.,
≥5
, may be freely located on panel frame without
a
ff
ecting the warranty. Loads marked with a
