Instruction Manual Installation Requirements
4.4 Installation Requirements
4.4.1 Location
The actuator or stand may be installed in a variety of positions. The stand (on a base) is often manually oper-
ated, using its base-mounted start switches, and so is installed at a safe and comfortable workbench height
(approximately 30-36 inches) with the operator sitting or standing in front of the system. Stands (on hubs)
are often used in automated systems and may be manually or automatically loaded and unloaded.
WARNING
!
The stand may tip over if moved around the axis of its column, if not properly secured. The
work surface on which a stand is installed must be sturdy enough to support it, and secure
enough to not tip over when the stand is adjusted during installation or setup.
The power supply may be located up to 50 feet away for 20kHz, (20' for 30kHz, and 15' for 40kHz models)
from the actuator. The power supply must be accessible for user parameter changes and settings, and must
be placed in a horizontal orientation. The power supply should be positioned so it does not draw in dust, dirt
or material via its rear fans. See
Figure 4.4 ’Power Supply Dimensional Drawing’ on page 4 - 12 .
