If modules are the Plug and Play type, no prewiring is i ls,. /z' minimum . required, and you can proceed directly to "Installing the First Module" below. If modules have standard J- boxes, each module should be prewired with one module bolt end of the intermodule cable for ease of installation. For safety reasons, module 4" prewiring should not be performed on the roof. .� fian9e nut Leave covers off J- boxes. They will be installed when the modules are installed on the rails. i `" Installing the First Module. In high- profile installations, the safety bolt and End clamp - Ls s. `' Roil flange nut must be fastened to the module bolt slot at the aligned (lower) end of l" each rail. It will prevent the lower end clamps and clamping bolts from sliding out of the rail slot during installation. Figure 15 If there is a return cable to the inverter, connect it to the first module. Close the J -box cover. Secure the first module with T -bolts and end clamps at the aligned - end of each rail. Allow half an inch between the rail ends and the end clamps ti (Fig. 15). Finger tighten flange nuts, center and align the module as needed, and t \\\ securely tighten the flange nuts (15 ft lbs). Installing the Other Modules. Lay the second module face down (glass to glass) on the first module. Connect intermodule cable to the second module and — close the J -box cover. Turn the second module face up (Fig. 16). With T- bolts, mid damps, and flange nuts, secure the adjacent sides of the first and second Ees'" modules. Align the second module and securely tighten the flange nuts (Fig. 17). For a neat installation, fasten cable clamps to rails with self - tapping screws. Figure 16 Repeat the procedure until all modules are installed. Attach the outside edge of the last module to the rail with end clamps. .t Module frames I Trim off any excess rail, being careful not to cut into the roof.
