IV. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING: REMOVE POWER FROM THE UNIT BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING, OR MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS.
GUIDELINES
There are two aspects to successful use of Load Stands — properly functioning Load Stands and appropriate
vessel support characteristics. Review the following list of error sources, and make the recommended
corrections before you install Load Stands:
• If mounting on a pipe leg, use the center mounting holes.
• Each Junction Box can be wired to a maximum of two Microcell sets (four units total).
• Rosette arrays - the four Mircocells on a support let (two sets, each consisting of a vertical and a
horizontal.
• Vertical Mircocells - one Junction Box can be wired to Mircocells from two support legs if the legs are
sufficiently close to each other to allow the cables to reach.
• Locat the Junction Box on the support leg web or on a brace. Vertically, locate Junciton Boxes at a
convenient height, approximately 4 ft (1.2 m) from the ground. The exact location is not critical, but
ensure there is sufficient cable length and that a drip loop will be formed by the Microcell cables when
wired to the Junction Box.
• When mounting, be sure there is enough clearance to open the front door completely. Removal,
insertion, and wiring of the modular PCB is done through the front of the unit.
TO MOUNT THE JUNCTION BOX
1. Hold the enclosure against the wall in the desired location and mark the positions of the mounting holes.
Place the enclosure in a safe location.
2. Drill the mounting holes in the wall.
3. Attach the enclosure to the wall using hardware that will secure it firmly in place.
For the adalet version of the Junction Box, place the Junction Box in line with the conduit.
CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL JUNCITON BOXES WHEN RAINING; MOISTURE WILL CAUSE
CORROSION AND SYSTEM ERRORS.
NOTES:
1. Mounting hardware is not
supplied by Kistler-Morse; #8-32
socket head cap screws and flat
washers are recommended.
