Terminal installation and levelling
Tools required:
-
24-mm torque wrench,
-
4x M16 nuts and 4x washers (included in the fastening kit),
-
spirit level.
Never install the terminal on a concrete surface before it has set; otherwise,
the terminal may sink into the concrete (making it impossible to open the mains
door or dismantle the terminal later on).
Putting in place the terminal:
Using the spirit level, check that the four lower nuts form a horizontal
support plane.
Set the terminal on the threaded rods.
Put the 4x washers and 4x M16 nuts on the anchoring rods, but do not
tighten them.
Levelling:
Check if the terminal is vertical in the front/back direction using a spirit
level positioned on the rear of the terminal.
Check if the terminal is vertical in the left/right direction using a spirit level
placed on a side of the terminal.
If the terminal is not fully vertical:
remove the terminal, adjust the
position with the 4 lower nuts and repeat the installation procedure.
Fastening:
After the terminal has been levelled correctly, fasten the 4x M16 nuts on the
threaded rods (24 mm key) to 20 daN/m tightening torque.
If removal protection nuts are being used:
Use the removal protection nuts instead of the plain upper nuts, the
first one on the front left threaded rod and the second one (if used) on
the threaded rod to the right at the rear.
Screw the removal protection nut (or nuts) with a 24-mm spanner up to
the breaking point.
