Unirac also provides a limited warranty on SunFrame products (page 24). Q The installer is solely responsible for: • Complying with all applicable local or national building codes, including any that may supersede this manual; • Ensuring that Unirac and other products are appropriate for the particular installation and the installation environment; • Ensuring that the roof, its rafters, connections, and other structural support members can support the array under all code level loading conditions (this total building assembly is referred to as the building structure); • Using only Unirac parts and installer-supplied parts as specified by Unirac (substitution of parts may void the warranty and invalidate the letters of certification in all Unirac publications); • Ensuring that lag screws have adequate pullout strength and shear capacities as installed; • Verifying the strength of any alternate mounting used in lieu of the lag screws; • Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the roof, including selection of appropriate flashing; • Ensuring safe installation of all electrical aspects of the PV array; and • Ensuring correct and appropriate design parameters are used in determining the design loading used for design of the specific installation. Parameters, such as snow loading, wind speed, exposure and topographic factor should be confirmed with the local building official or a licensed professional engineer. 2 SunFrame Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual U N I RAC Part I. Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load [1.1.] Using the Simplified Method - ASCE 7-05 The procedure to determine Design Wind Load is specified for more clarification on the use of Method I. Lower design by the American Society of Civil Engineers and referenced in wind loads may be obtained by applying Method II from ASCE the International Building Code 2006. For purposes of this 7-05. Consult with a licensed engineer if you want to use document, the values, equations and procedures used in this Method II procedures. document reference ASCE 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for The equation for determining the Design Wind Load for Buildings and Other Structures. Please refer to ASCE 7-05 if components and cladding is: you have any questions about the definitions or procedures presented in this manual. Unirac uses Method 1, the Simplified Method, for calculating the Design Wind Load for Pna (Psf) ='K=d pnet3o pressures on components and cladding in this document. PR,, (ND = Design Wind Load The method described in this document is valid for flush, no tilt, SunFrame Series applications on either roofs or walls.

The building height must be less than 60 feet, h < 60. See note for determining h in the next section.

Laying out the installation area and planning for material conservation. B. Installing footings and rails, beginning with the lowest row and moving up the roof. C. Placing modules and cap strips, beginning with the highest row and moving down the roof. The following illustrated steps describe the procedure in detail. Before beginning, please note these important considerations. Footings must be lagged into structural members. Never attach them to the decking alone, which leaves both the array and roof susceptible to severe damage.

Installing the lowest row of L-feet and rail In the lowest row, it is not necessary to use L-foot adjusting - - sliders, even if you plan to use them in subsequent rows.

(For high profile roofs, such as tile or shake, use optional standoffs with flashing to raise L-feet. L-feet must be flush with or above the highest point of the roof - surface.) L-feet can be placed with the double-slotted side against the - roof surface (as in Fig. 7) or with the single-slotted side against the roof (which increases air circulation beneath modules).
