Poweramp SEMI AUTO TRUCK RESTRAINT 11_96 - Manual (Page 9)

If your mechanical restraint is equipped with a Dock alert light communication pack-
age, please continue to follow the installation instructions. If your unit is not equipped
with lights, please turn to the operation section, page 9.
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
When equipped with a light communication package, the mechanical restraint in-
cludes a prewired control box, outside light box, and (2) outside truck driver signs.
Components such as conduit, fittings, anchors, etc. are supplied by others. Quality
workmanship using materials approved by code is required.
A typical installation will require mounting of the outside light box as shown in Figure
11. The control box mounting is generally inside the building on the left hand side of
the overhead door.
Flexible conduit supplied with the mechanical restraint must be connected to a
junction box (supplied by others). The location of the junction box may vary. When-
ever possible, the junction box should be placed high on the outside wall or on the pit
floor to avoid flooding. The junction box and associated conduit are to be supplied by
others. Wiring to and from the restraint must be limited to restraint wiring only. Do
not run high voltage lines through the same conduit as restraint wires.
INSTALLATION OF SIGN
Because of the many ways signs can be mounted, hardware is not supplied. Mount
the sign(s) on the right hand side, as viewed by truck driver, of restraint. The sign is
usually mounted near the outside signal light permitting the truck driver to read signs
from truck.
Figure 11 provides a suggested location for sign mounting. Good workmanship and
quality materials should be used.
NOTES:
1. Some docks may have dock/truck seals (or shelters) installed or planned. Sign
location and mounting should be studied before proceeding.
2. If required, signs may be trimmed for fit. NEVER cut or eliminate sign letters/
words.
