TURNTABLE INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
Pre-planning is essential for a successful installation. Be sure to
discuss your requirements with your sales representative and
request dimensional drawings prior to construction of your site.
POWER AND SIGNAL LINES
Conduit
Power and signal line paths should be planned in advance. Conduit
should be in place before pouring concrete or installing the ground
plane. Be sure to consider the size of the cable bundle when
selecting conduit diameter.
Electrical Considerations
A qualified and licensed electrical contractor should be used to
install power lines, and the installation should comply with all
applicable regulatory agencies. A dedicated circuit should be used,
with the shortest distance possible between the power source and
the turntable.
Access
An access area underneath the turntable is advisable for large
diameter installations. A service switch should be installed to
deactivate the turntable during service.
OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS
Drainage
A centerline drain of at least 15cm (6in) must be installed to
provide proper drainage during rain storms, etc.
Cold Climate Conditioning
Oil used in the gear assemblies will congeal at 2
o
C (28
o
F).
Turntables operated in these temperatures should include a heat
source and/or dehumidifier.
