being installed on one side of the standing seam.

PowerFit20 module.

Figure 3. Shows the first PF20 modules installed 

adjacent to the WMS wire conduit.

Align the first module near the ridge of the roof. 

Ensure the module is aligned to the side of the 

standing seam where the WMS wire conduit was 

installed. The side of the module where there are 

no junction boxes should be aligned with the top 

of the WMS wire conduit near the ridge. Proceed 

to peel the adhesive backing off the module and 

apply pressure to the module to adhere it to the 

flat space. Use a rubber wheeled roller to ensure 

the proper pressure is applied to the module. 

Module Installation

After the roof has been cleaned to the 

requirements above, the components can be 

adhered to the roof. Align one of the WMS wire 

conduits to one side of the standing seam. Ensure 

the side that opens is facing away from the seam. 

Remove the adhesive lining and install the WMS 

wire conduit with the top edge going as close 

to the ridge cap as possible. This will be used to 

gauge where the first module will be installed as 

well as be a location to run the wiring.

With the first module adhered, use one of the 

WMS spacer tubes and remove the adhesive 

covering from the bottom. Center the spacer 

tube and adhere it adjacent to the first module 

installed on the seam. Apply pressure for the 

adhesive to stick to the metal roof.
