The chosen location should take account of the potential requirement for
testing an onsite water deluge system (if applicable), such that the product is
not located in the direct line of water jets. While the product provides IP55-
level water spray protection, a water deluge system could exceed IP55
thresholds depending on the location, pressure and direction of the water
jets. See the Minitrans Operator Guide for further recommendations around
testing a water deluge system.
7.1
PGA Transit Lock
The product is equipped with a factory-fitted interior PGA transit lock that consists of
two metal locking brackets each secured by two bolts. The PGA lock is engaged for
shipping and one is shown in Figure 7-1. The PGA lock
must
be removed prior to
powering on the product to take measurements. When not in transit, it is recommended
to store the lock in the position as shown in Figure 7-2.

disengaged (two brackets)
The lock
must
be refitted if there ever is a requirement to transport the product (or if the
product is ever to be laid horizontally). See Appendix M for more details on all locking
mechanisms and how to attach or remove the locks.
7.2
Mounting Stand Installation
It is important that the product be installed in a secure manner. For this reason, GE
offers an optional mounting stand. If the GE-manufactured mounting stand has not been
purchased, a stand must be constructed as outlined in Section 7. If the mounting stand is
purchased with the product, the product is supplied attached to a top stand and slotted
between the legs of the bottom stand for additional protection and ease of handling.
The GE-manufactured mounting stand shall be secured to the mounting surface as
follows:
▪
The mounting stand shall be placed upright on a suitable mounting surface e.g. a flat
concrete pad (see Section 7 for details).
▪
Use the mounting stand (recommended) or the dimensions from the mounting stand
footprint drawing (see Appendix G) to mark at least one hole for each of the four
mounting tab points.
▪
Use M8 threaded fasteners with a recommended minimum length of 80 mm for the
concrete pad (or other suitable concrete anchors) to secure the mounting stand to
the mounting surface.
▪
Ensure that the stand is within 5 degrees of level and plumb. If necessary, use shims
under the mounting stand feet to level the stand.
