Welcome
S-5!
®
Australian Code Compliant Planning and Installation in accordances with AS/
NZS1170
S-5! patented hardware technology makes these attachments quick, simple, secure, and as dependable as the roof systems they complement.
Please review this manual thoroughly before installing an S-5! clamp or bracket with either the S-5-PV Kit or a third party solar mounting application system. This manual provides (1) supporting documentation for building permit applications relating to the range of S-5! clamps used with a third party mounting system, (2) installation conditions, and (3) planning and installation instructions for use of S-5! products.
S-5! products, when installed in accordance with this guide, will be structurally adequate in accordance with AS/NZS1170 standards. During installation, and especially when working on the roof, be sure to observe the appropriate safety regulations, and please pay attention to the relevant regulations of your local region. Any loads imposed on the S-5! clamp will be transferred to the roof sheets. Roof sheets must be adequately attached to building structure to resist these loads. The user and/or the installer of these parts are responsible for all necessary engineering and design for the intended use of these parts in an assembly or application.
Please check that you are using the current version of the installation manual by contacting MAK Fastener
Specialists Pty Ltd, via email at [email protected]

Responsibility
The installer is solely responsible for:
• Complying with all applicable local or national building codes, including any that may supersede this manual.
• Ensuring that S-5!
® and other products are appropriate for the particular installation and the installation environment.
• Ensuring that the roof, its structural frame, connections, and other structural support members can support the array under all relevant loading conditions (this total assembly is hereafter referred to as the
roof framing assembly).
• Ensuring safe installation of all electrical aspects of the PV array.
Loads imposed on the S-5! clamps and brackets will be transferred to the roof sheeting and roof sheeting fixings. Roof sheeting, roof sheeting fixings, and roof supporting structure must have sufficient strength to carry all applicable loads. The makers of S-5! clamps and brackets make no representations with respect to these variables. It is the responsibility of the user to verify this information, or seek assistance from a qualified design professional, if necessary.
The manufacturer expresses no opinions as to the suitability of the S-5! clamp or bracket for any specific application or project condition.
ALWAYS PROVIDE WORKER FALL PROTECTION WHEN INSTALLING S-5!. S-5! DOES NOT APPROVE PRODUCTS
FOR USE IN PERSONAL FALL RESTRAINT/FALL PROTECTION APPLICATIONS. S-5! PRODUCTS MAY BE USED
AS A COMPONENT IN A FALL PROTECTION SYSTEM ONLY WHEN THE SYSTEM MANUFACTURER PROVIDES
APPROPRIATE APPROVALS!
Before proceeding, note the following:
• This document addresses only wind loads on the assumption that wind produces the maximum load factor affecting an installation. Verify that other local factors, such as snow loads and earthquake effects, do not exceed the wind loads; precedence shall be given to any factor that does. Wind loads are considered to act on the entire projected area, or may be perpendicular to any surface.
• For critical installations, inquire for specific test data of ultimate tensile load on specific panel materials and seam types. When tabled values are used, fastener tensions should be verified and factors of safety should be used as appropriate.
Code-Compliant Planning:
This document is designed to assist with installations utilizing S-5! clamps in conjunction with third party product applications in accordance with AS/NZS1170.

Wind Regions
1. Determine the Wind Region of Your Installation Site
Region Definition:
Wind Regions are pre-defined for all of Australia by Australian Standard 1170. The Wind Region does not reflect surrounding topography or buildings. Wind speeds are defined for each region and the design wind speeds are based on the region wind speed, modified as necessary to reflect the effects of local topography, shielding, building height, etc.
Much of Australia is designated Region A which indicates a Regional Ultimate Basic Wind Velocity of
45msec. Some areas are designated Region B (57msec). Local authorities will advise if this applies in your area. Region C areas (69msec) are generally referred to as cyclonic and are generally limited to northern coastal areas. Most Region C zones end 50km - 100km inland. Region D (88msec) Australia’s worst Cyclonic
Region between Carnarvon and Pardoo in Western Australia.

3. Planning and Installation Instructions for Use of S-5!
®
Clamps and Brackets
Determine the height of your installation site.
This document provides sufficient information for PV assembly installation height less than 20 meters.
If your installation site is more than 20 meters in height, please obtain engineering approval, and engineering data to support your installation.
When the installation site is more than 10 meters in height and in Region C utilizing any form of a tilted system, further engineering approval is necessary to support this type of installation.
If roofing profile is not listed within this guide, please consult S-5! for clamp suitability.
The following tables assume that determination has been made that the PV modules, PV railing and the roof itself to which the S-5! clamps will be attached is structurally adequate. The makers of S-5! clamps make no representations with respect to these variables. It is the responsibility of the user to verify this information, or seek assistance from a qualified design professional, if necessary.

4.6.1 Other Helpful Hints for S-5-PV Kit Applications
When Structural Capacity of Roof Panels is Unknown
The key to frequency and spacing of attachment points for PV frames utilizing the S-5-PV Kit is to distribute loads to the metal standing seam panels in a manner that is consistent with the intended distribution of loads from the roof panels into the building structure. With very few exceptions, the attachment of a single S-5!
® clamp to the seam will be stronger than a single point of attachment of the seam to the building structure. Hence it is probable that the
“weak link” is not the S-5! clamp, but the attachment clips that hold the metal panels to the building structure, or the beam strength of the roof panel seam itself.
The most conservative approach to the spacing/frequency of PV frame attachment to the roof is to determine the spacing/frequency of the roof’s attachment to the building structure, then duplicate it at minimum, unless the project engineer says otherwise. Determining panel attachment spacing in one axis is very simple. Standing seam panels’ attachment will be made using concealed hold-down clips within the seam area of the panel. So, in that axis, the clip spacing is the same as the seam spacing. The location of the clips along the seam (in the other axis) can be determined by A) consultation with the roof system manufacturer or installer, B) checking from the underside or, C) close examination from the topside along the seam. There will usually be a slight, but detectable, deformation of the seam at the clip location visible from the roof’s topside. Many standing seam roof systems are installed on “pre-engineered” steel buildings. The attachment spacing is readily apparent by inspecting the spacing of the structural purlins to which the panel clips are attached from the roof underside (interior of the building).
If, for instance, the panel clips are spaced 1200mm on centre along the seam, then use the 1200mm dimension as a maximum spacing for the S-5! clamps (S-5! clamps may also be spaced at closer centres, but not wider). When modules are DirectAttached ™ without racking in the landscape orientation, the smallest dimension of the PV frame dictates the spacing dimension. Using the roof panel clip spacing as a maximum spacing template for S-5! clamps is a sound practice, whether the PV modules are attached directly to the S-5! clamp or to a racking system and then to the S-5! clamp (and panel seams). To evenly distribute loads, it is also necessary that each seam be involved in the finished assembly. thus, every time a seam is traversed, it should be attached. Such an attachment scheme should evenly distribute wind loads into the building structure through the panels and their attachment, as was intended in the original roof construction assembly.
These instructions are for use by those experienced in the trade. Always follow appropriate safety precautions and use appropriate tools.

PV Rail Attachment
4.7 Rail Mounted Systems
PV rails can be installed directly to the S-5!
® clamp/bracket, or with use of a flanged strap or 'L' foot. The rail should be installed perpendicular roof panel rib following the rail producer's recommended installation practices. Support rails must have sufficient flexural strength to carry possible load conditions. Support rails must also be adequately attached to the S-5! clamp, and the building structure must be sufficient to carry these loads. The makers of S-5! clamps make no representations with respect to these variables.
It is the responsibility of the user to verify this information, or seek assistance from a qualified design professional, if necessary.

4.7.2 Tilt Mounted Rails
Caution: when tilting a PV array, a new and different airfoil is created, which may introduce loads for which the roof was not engineered. These new wind dynamics result in both positive and negative point loads that will need to be supported by the roof panels and structure.

To Install S-5-K700:
1. Mate the clamp halves and start the M8 bolt. Thread bolt until bolt end is just flush with the outside surface of the opposite side of the clamp.
2. Place clamp assembly over the seam and force down until clamp snaps over seam.
3. Position clamp appropriately on seam, then close clamp using a locking C-clamp. Using a hand ratchet or electric tool (13mm), tighten M8 bolt until clamp is closed completely.
4. Remove locking C-clamp. Consult the S-5! website at www.S-5au.

8.2 S-5-S Mini Installation
When relying upon published load values, setscrews should be tensioned and verified using a calibrated torque wrench between 18 and 20 Nm when used on 8.5 mm steel and between 15 and 17 Nm for all other metals and thinner gauges of steel.
S-5! mini clamps are cost effective, non-penetrating standing seam clamps designed for medium-duty applications. They are a bit shorter than the standard clamps, having one setscrew rather than two.
The S-5-S Mini is designed to fit snap together standing seam profiles.
To Install S-5-S Mini:
1. Partially thread the setscrew into the clamp by hand
2. Determine how to position the mini clamp. On many snaptogether type seams, the setscrew is opposite the open (or overlap) side of the seam. On other seams, this aspect of clamp orientation is not critical.
3. Tighten the setscrew at the base of the clamp using a screw gun and the included screw gun bit tip. For optimal holding strength, setscrew should be tensioned to 18 to 20 Nm [160 to 180 inch pounds] on 0.85 mm [22ga steel], and 15 to 17
Nm [130 to 150 inch pounds] on all other metals and thinner gauges of steel.

The appropriate seam profiles for each insert option are listed on the next page of these installation instructions.
The head of the clamp’s flanged bolts control the amount of compression, which reduces the possibility of over-compressing the seam, and makes installation a snap!
To Install S-5-K Grip Mini:
1. Position clamp insert at desired location along the rib, just under the fold of the rib.
2. Roll the clamp into position over the seam and clamp insert piece.
Position the clamp so that it is centered over the clamp insert with approximately 2mm of insert overhang on each side of the clamp.
3. Partially thread the single flanged bolt into the base of the S-5-K
Grip Mini by hand. The bolts should engage the divots in the center of the S-5-K Grip Mini insert.
4. Tighten the bolt at the base of the S-5-K Grip Mini using a ratchet or screw gun with a 13mm hex. For optimal holding strength, bolt should be tensioned to 23Nm [200 in. lbs.]

™
and
TopFix CorruBracket-AU
™
Mini Installation
The TopFix CorruBracket-AU is made for corrugated roofing profiles. It is not made for folded seams or concealed fix roofing profiles and does not use setscrews.
TopFix CorruBracket-AU is mounted directly onto the crest of the corrugation with proper sheet metal screws or bulb rivets. Check with your distributor for the proper fasteners as this can vary with the application.
To ensure brackets are installed in a straight line, install a single
TopFix CorruBracket-AU on each end of the roof at a measured, consistent distance from the bottom edge of the roof. Use a string line between the two brackets. Mount the remaining TopFix
CorruBracket-AU’s along the string line, directly onto the roof. Do not remove the EPDM rubber gasket; this is for water-tightness weather-proofing.
To Install the TopFix CorruBracket-AU/TopFix CorruBracket-AU
Mini:
1. Determine the location of assembly.
2. The only surface preparation necessary is to simply wipe away excess oil and debris.
3. Secure the TopFix CorruBracket-AU directly onto two adjacent crests of the roof corrugation by driving the appropriate screws into the pre-punched holes, or pre-drilling the proper sized hole through the pre-punched holes and riveting with bulb-type rivets. Secure the TopFix CorruBracket-AU, using the required amount fasteners to achieve tested necessary holding strength for your application.
Do not overdrive fasteners; a slight extrusion of rubber around the washer is a good visual tightness check. If a fastener has been overdriven, it is important to remove the fastener and replace it with a bulb rivet. To avoid stripping the fastener, do not over torque; use screw gun. The TopFix CorruBracket-AU ™ is now ready to install other ancillaries, such as the S-5-PV Kit, using the top M8 hole.

8.5 TrapBracket
™
Installation
S-5!
® TrapBracket ™ is the right way to attach almost anything to certain exposed-fastened trapezoidal roof profiles; including PV through DirectAttached ™ or Rail methods.
TrapBracket is mounted directly onto the crown of the trapezoidal sheet with the S-5! stainless steel 6.3x25 mm TrapBracket fasteners or 7.7 mm Bulb-tite rivets.
To ensure brackets are installed in a straight line, install a single
TrapBracket on each end of the roof at a measured, consistent distance from the bottom edge of the roof. Use a string line between the two brackets. Mount the remaining TrapBrackets along the string line, directly into the roof. Do not remove the
EPDM rubber gasket; this is for weather-proofing.
To Install TrapBracket:
1. The only surface preparation necessary is to simply wipe away excess oil and debris.
2. Determine the location of assembly.
3. Secure the TrapBracket directly into the crown of the roof profile by driving the appropriate fasteners into the four prepunched holes, or pre-drilling the proper sized hole through the four pre-punched holes and riveting with bulb-type rivets.
To achieve tested holding strength, secure the TrapBracket by using all four pre-punched hole locations. Drive the fastener in until it is tight and the washer is firmly seated. Do not overdrive fasteners; a slight extrusion of rubber around the washer is a good visual tightness check. If a fastener has been overdriven, it is important to remove the fastener and replace it with a bulb rivet. To avoid stripping the fastener, do not over torque; use screw gun. The TrapBracket is now ready to install other ancillaries, such as the S-5-PV Kit, using the top M8 hole.

1. Place mounting disc on the S-5! mini clamp. Secure Universal PV stud through the mounting disc into the S-5! mini clamp. Using a 13 mm deepwell socket, tighten universal PV stud to 140–160 inch pounds.
Install one PV frame on top of the mounting disc utilizing the module placement bevel guide to ensure proper placement.
2. Install a second PV frame on top of the mounting disc utilizing the module placement bevel guide to ensure proper placement.
3. Install the universal PV anchor grab to the universal PV stud, with the flanged nut to secure the two PV frames (See diagram A). Tighten flange nut to 11-13.5 Nm [100–120 inch pounds].
4. For end/edge conditions, use the EdgeGrab ™ . There are two assembly options for the EdgeGrab, dependent upon the PV frame thickness.
For frame thicknesses 30–48 mm, install the EdgeGrab by placing the serrated L-flange on top of the mounting disk (see Diagram B).
Then, drive the universal PV stud through the serrated L-flange and the mounting disk, and into the S-5! mini clamp. The L-flange will be positioned beneath the stud’s hex nut. Using a 13 mm deepwell socket, tighten the universal PV stud to 140–160 inch pounds. Next, set the PV module atop the mounting disk, making the thin edge of the L-flange flush against the PV frame. Slide the top component of the EdgeGrab onto the stud, allowing the serrated sides to interlock at the appropriate height. Add the flange nut to the stud to secure the
PV frame. Tighten flange nut to 100–120 inch pounds.
5. For frame thicknesses 34–51 mm, position the serrated L-flange atop the stud’s hex nut. Proceed with the remainder of step four.
