Legrand Delta Strut Solar Systems

have passed electrical/bonding

testing per UL 2703. The following

paragraph states the scope of the

UL standards:

These requirements cover rack

mounting systems and clamping devices

for flat-plate photovoltaic modules and

panels that comply with the standard

for Flat-Plate Photovoltaic Modules

and Panels, UL 1703, intended for

installation on or integral with buildings,

or to be freestanding (i.e., not attached

to buildings), in accordance with the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

and Model Building Codes.

Solar panels mounted to Delta Strut

on Membrane Roof with Cablo-Port

supports and hold down stanchions

Self-threading screw is

tightened using socket wrench

or power drill thru access hole.

DSBEA

DSBPW

DSPCC

Secure each Cablo-Port using

only a screwdriver.

Use DSBRSW washer and bolt

to secure array from wind lift.

DSBRSW

DSMHDC is spring-loaded and

stays in position while panels

are positioned.

DSMHDC

Use two DSSA to splice any two

sections of Delta Strut tray.

DSSA

Use GNDSB split-bolt lug

grounding connector to

properly ground each solar

support row.

Installation Instructions:

1. Snap chalk lines for each DS

support row. Rows should be

located at even intervals with

a maximum distance of 60”.

Actual spans should be based

upon roof loading requirements.

2. Snap a second set of chalk lines

at a right angle to position angle

support legs. Actual spacing

should be in accordance with

the drawings provided with each

DS shipment.

3. Position each Cablo-Port

support along support row at

even intervals with a maximum

distance of 60”. Always follow

roof load requirements provided

by a certified engineer. No

gluing is necessary.

4. Install hold down stanchions

along support row

according to manufacturer’s

recommendations and roofing

requirements.

5. Lay-in sections of DS and insert

into metal brackets on top of

the Cablo-Port. Secure with fold

down tabs. [Figure A]

6. Attach DS to hold down

stanchions with DSBRSW

washer and bolt. Torque nuts to

6-8 ft/lbs. [Figure B]

7. Splice sections of DS together

using a DSSA splice kit splice

(install splices on both inside

corners of DS for a single

splice). Install and splice all DS

support rows before beginning

next steps. [Figure C]

8. Install DSBEA (Angle Support

Assemblies). Attach rear

support to DS support first by

pivoting leg forward then secure

to DS using clamp and self-

threading screw. Attach front

clamp in the same manner.

[Figure D]

9. Install DS stringers to angle

supports. Position DS in angle

bracket saddle, then secure

with a DSPCC (Connection

Clamp) and self-threading

screw. [Figure D]

10. Splice sections of DS stringers

together using a DSSA splice

(install splices on both inside

corners of DS for a single

splice).

11. Position first PV panel at the

beginning of first run, check for

position and square, then attach

to Delta Strut using DSEHDC

(End Bolt/Clamp). Torque nuts

to 6-8 ft/lbs.

12. Add next PV panel in run. Use

DSMHDC (Middle Bolt/Clamp -

Patent Pending) in areas where

two panels adjoin. Torque nuts

to 6-8 ft/lbs. [Figure E]

13. Pull feeder cabling into DS

stringer row. Connect PV cables

to feeder cables and secure

cabling to DS. Be aware that

cabling is live at this point.

14. Each solar row to be connected

to Earth as specified in NEC

using proper sized ground

conductor and UL Listed Split-

bolt lug connected to Delta

Strut. [Figure F]
