2.2.2 Fitting onto/removing from a hat rail
The end plates, the MP sub−base and pneumatic interface
contain holes for fitting the terminal onto a wall
(seeTab.2/3).
Caution
MPA−S valve terminals can become distorted and therefore
damaged if they are mounted on an uneven pliable
surface.
·
Fit the MPA−S valve terminal only onto a flat fixed
surface.
Overstressing the fastening holes, bending the MPA−S
valve terminal with CPX terminal or internal vibrations can
cause damage.
·
Observe the instructions in appendix A, Tab.A/2 for
additionally fastening the MPA−S valve terminals if these
are longer than 280 mm.
·
In these cases use the additional fastenings for the CPX
terminal (see instructions in the manual for the CPX
system).
Fitting Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the fastening surface is flat and that it can
support the MPA−S valve terminal (weights see appen
dixA, Tab.A/1).
Make sure there is sufficient space for connecting the supply
cables and tubing.
2. Drill mounting holes in the fastening surface.
3. Fasten the MPA−S valve terminal with M4 or M6 screws of
sufficient length to the fastening surface as per Tab.2/3).
