Adhere to the following placement guidelines
:
• Verify the structural integrity of the object(s), i.e. joists, to which the Watchman will be suspended.
•
To provide enough warning time to avert a collision, the Watchman must be placed at a sufficient distance
in front
of
the object being protected to allow the forklift driver sufficient time to react and stop after Watchman activation.
What a sufficient distance is depends on the application where the Watchman is being used. Relevant factors
include the object being protected, the traffic pattern of the facility, available hanging space, and forklift operating
speeds. For applications where the Watchman will be placed in front of a roll-up door, locating the Watchman a
minimum of 4'
in front of
the door is generally an appropriate distance.
• Place the bottom of Watchman's tube a minimum of 2"
below
the object or surface being protected.
• Ensure the suspension cable angles are between 90° and 135° [Figure 5].
Battery installation is only applicable to battery-
powered models. For AC-powered models,
skip to
the
Placement and Mounting
section below.
1. Using a 5/32" Allen wrench, remove the screw securing the
Main End cap to the tube.
2. Remove the Main End cap. Using a Phillips screwdriver,
loosen the screw and swing the plastic bar to the side to
gain access to battery packs [Figure 3 & 4].
3. Disconnect the (2) battery pack connectors and slide out the
battery packs from the end cap [Figure 4].
4. Insert (8) C cell batteries into the battery packs, ensuring
correct battery polarity.
Make sure batteries are fully
inserted into the battery packs.
5. Return the battery packs to the end cap and reconnect the
(2) battery connectors. Swing the plastic bar back into place
and tighten the screw.
6. Using a 5/32" Allen wrench, reinstall the end cap.
