Figure 4-4. Placement of Two Microcell™ Sets on a Beam (Series 601 and 602).
Figures 4-3, 4-4, and 4-5 show the location of a
Microcell™ set on a beam. The ideal location is
midway between the vessel support bracket and
the support column (or supporting beam). This
places the shear mounting set away from joints
and load points. The minimum distance between
the load point and the support column or beam is
18 in (457mm). If less space is available, this is a
special application. Consult Kistler-Morse
® before
proceeding further.
Note
Microcell™ locations may be adjusted up to 12
in (305mm) in any directon to avoid obstacles.
If adjusting locations, maintain the
configuration of the set (i.e,. if you move one
Microcell™ in the set from its ideal location,
move the other Microcell™ as well).
The top of Microcell™ A points toward the load
point from the vessel, putting the Microcell™ in
compression when the load is applied. Microcell™
B is mounted on the other side of the web, directly
behind and at a 90° angle to Microcell™ A. The
top of Microcell™ B points away from the load
point, putting the Microcell™ in tension when the
load is applied. There is no physical difference in
Microcells™ A and B; the designations relate to
how to wire the Microcells™ to the junction box.
See Figure 4-5. If a second Microcell™ set is
placed on a beam (Series 601 and 602), the
Microcells™ are labeled C and D (pointing toward
the load point).
