6 Assembly
Germany only: Festool offers you the opportunity to
have the energy box or the boom arm assembled by
an authorised fitter. The energy box or boom arm is
assembled completely and handed over ready to
use. We recommend using this service for quicker,
more reliable assembly.
The following attachment options are possible:
• Wall mounting
• Ceiling installation
• Pillar mounting
Mounting the ASA on a concrete wall - Fig. [1]
Six (only four on the ASA 2500) dowel holes must be
drilled in the concrete wall in line with the pattern
on the enclosed drilling template.
B25 - B55 or C20/25 to C50/60 Fischer Combi tie
rods FBN II 16/15 K, 16/25, 16/50 are ideal fastening
dowels for non-cracked concrete.
Mounting the ASA on a concrete ceiling - Fig [2]
The ASA can be mounted on a ceiling using the
bracket shown in Fig. [2]. Fastening elements
should be provided by the customer and manufac-
tured according to structural calculations.
Mounting the ASA on a tiled or cavity wall -
Fig. [3]
Fastening elements should be provided by the cus-
tomer and manufactured according to structural
calculations.
Continuous M16 threaded rods are recommended.
Mounting the ASA on a pillar - Fig. [4]
The ASA is mounted on a pillar or beam as shown
in Fig. [4].
Shortening the ASA suspended section
The length of the suspended section is 1.6 m on de-
livery, but the aluminium pipe [5-1] can be cut to a
specific length if required.
When the section is shortened, the piping systems
are pulled through towards the rear. Important:
The piping systems should not be clamped in posi-
tion, but should have a certain amount of freedom
of movement in the cable duct so that they are not
damaged when the boom arm is moved.
Cable duct (ASA CT/SRM only)
The enclosed cable duct must be mounted on the
wall or pillar between the ASA bracket and the lo-
cation of the dust extractor. The aluminium pipe [6-
2]
must be slotted into the clamps [6-1] in the cable
duct and connected to the ASA and the dust ex-
tractor using the accompanying tube sections [6-
3]
. If necessary, shorten the cable duct and alumin-
ium pipe as required. The compressed air lines and
electric cables [6-4] are also laid in the cable duct.
7 Connection and operation
7.1 Connecting the compressed air line
The following is required for correct operation:
– Air pressure: 4 - 8 bar flow pressure
– Min. air output: 400 l/min for each connected
Festool compressed air sander.
 Connect the grey compressed air line on the
ASA to the coupling connector on the service
unit and then to the on-site compressed-air
system.
7.2 Connecting the control cable
CT mobile dust extractors, series CT 22, CT 33, CT
44, CT 55
 Fit the assembly set (module EAA CT22/33/44/
55: 495756) for the control cable to the CT mo-
bile dust extractor (see assembly instructions).
CT mobile dust extractor series CT 26, CT 36
 Fit the assembly set (module EAA CT26/36:
494896) to the CT mobile dust extractor (already
fitted on CTM 36 LE and CTL 36 LE models).
 Plug the control cable into the socket on the ex-
tractor.
SRM mobile extractor and other brands of ex-
tractor
Connecting the control cable is no longer possible.
If the dust extractor has an appliance socket with
automatic switch-on unit, the mains cable on the
EAA must be plugged into this appliance socket so
that the automatic switch-on unit on the dust ex-
tractor functions. However, note the maximum ca-
pacity of the appliance socket. Not all EAA func-
tions can be used. We therefore recommend using
a Festool mobile dust extractor.
ASA TURBO
 Qualified electricians only: Connect the control
cable to the control signal inlet on the stationary
extraction system.
WARNING
Risk of injury, damage to property
 Before installing the unit, have a structural engi-
neer check the static conditions of the planned
attachment point!
