2. Fabricate the mounting frame as
shown. It may be larger if required. In
this installation we purchased pre-cut
channel from McMaster Carr. We used
four (4) lengths of Steel Strut Channel,
Slotted, 1-5/8” x 1-5/8”, zinc-plated, 2
foot length, part number 3310T53.
The brackets each measure 24” (610
mm) in length. The upright brackets
are bolted so the centerline of the
slotted holes is 17.25” (about 439 mm)
apart. Use 3/8” (or 10mm) bolts.
The brackets should be capable of
supporting the full Analyzer PRO
weight, plus an ample safety margin.
We suggest a minimum capacity be
100 pounds, or roughly 45 kilograms.
Note that the Analyzer PRO instrument is on a cart for positioning. We use lab jacks to
raise it to the final mounting height, to avoid difficult lifting. The installer is shown
checking the size and slot pattern for fit.
3. Use 3” (76.2 mm) inside-diameter
stainless U-Bolts with extended-length
legs, like that shown.
(This is a McMaster-Carr Extended-
Length Type 316 SS U-Bolt 3/8”-16
Thread, part number 29605T7 -- as of
time of publication.)
Remove the nuts from the U-Bolt and
gently place it over the flange as
shown. Verify that the mounting
height is correct, and that the U-Bolt
will be in the correct position to bolt
onto the brackets. Use additional
wooden blocks to reach the proper
mounting height. Check both sides.
