6509 – RAIL MOUNT KIT
Rail mounting the 6500 Monitor, any of the Breakout Boxes or the Junction Box is a simple
process using the enclosed mounting hardware in addition to u-bolts. They may be mounted to
pipe or handrail (1 to 1½ inch diameter) with two additional 1½ inch U-bolts. Do not mount on
electrical conduit.
The location of the 6500 Monitor, Breakout Boxes and Junction Box should be elevated and in a
dry place above potential flood level. The units should be easily accessible for an operator or
technician.
The electronics unit should not be mounted on hot or vibrating pipe or structure, near a high heat
source, near an AC motor or transformer, radio transmitter or antenna.
The following steps should be followed when using the rail mounting the kit:
1. Securely fasten both mounting brackets (included with the 6500 Monitor, 6502, 6503,
6504 Breakout Boxes or 6508 Junction Box) to the back of the 6500 Monitor or Boxes
with the mounting screws provided. Figure 18 shows the 6500 Monitor, and figure 19
shows the position of the mounting brackets for the Breakout and Junction boxes.
2. Fasten both sides with installed brackets to the railing with the u-bolts, plates, lock-
washers, and nuts as shown in Figure 20.
3. Ensure that all hardware is tightened.
