and +5400 / -2400 Pa, depending on mounting configuration. The
positive value indicates downward pressure as from accumulated

The rating of t2400 Pa (standard loading, see Figure 1) may be
achieved by locating the module support rails anywhere between the
ends of the module to the innermost mounting reference holes. The
maximum downward rating of+5400 Pa(high loading,see Figure 1)is
intended for regions that experience heavy snowfall; this rating may
only be achieved by locating the module support rails at the outer
mounting holes.
Approved Mounting Configurations
Motech IM54,IM60 and IM72 modules are certified for mounting to an
array structure by pressure clamps. The PV system designer must
determine if the pressure ciamps, support rails and related mounting
hardware have sufficient strength to support the maximum design load
transferred from the module.
