2.2 Fitting rails on roof anchors
• have ready two rails in the length required for the
number and type of collectors to be installed.
• Align the travelling screw head (Fig. 9) with the hori-
zontal rail and shift the rail onto it, or shift the screws
into the rail
fi
rst and fasten to the anchors. Use serra-
ted lock washers to
fi
t the nuts.
• Align the rails so that they lie in parallel to roof tiles.
The diagonal between the rails must be of the same
length: D1 = D2 (Fig. 10).
• Then tighten the nuts on fastening bolts.
2.3 Collector mounting
Collectors shall be covered during mounting.
Installation:
• Insert safety retaining brackets (Fig. 11) into the
bottom rail, 2 brackets per collector.
• Insert the retaining brackets into the bottom rail about
100 mm from the collector edge.
• Lay the
fi
rst collector carefully on the rails and align it
in the brackets.
Collectors shall be placed on the rails with
marking upwards. The distance between the
bottom edge of the collector and of the base rail
depends on the design and size of the retaining
brackets. The collector bottom edge is by circa
75 mm lower.
• The distance between the collector edge and the end
of the bottom rail is B = 35 mm (Fig. 12).
