How to mount the miniTwin2 using C
C
Fix brackets and L
C
Fix brackets:
Mount the L
A
Fix bracket such that the Twin Stick is positioned at the correct height.
Lightly tighten the first of the two fixing screws M5 ( ).
Ensure the L
A
Fix bracket is initially only lightly fixed and does not twist.
Now tighten the second of the two fixing screws M5 ( ), also lightly.
Now alternately fasten the two screws to a torque of approx. 3 Nm. Higher torques can
damage the bracket; lower torques provide inadequate protection against vibration.
Mount the C
A
Fix bracket ( ) on the other end of the Twin Stick.
From devices with a size of 360 mm we recommend mounting an additional C
A
Fix
bracket near the L
A
Fix bracket in case of high transverse forces on the housing.
Fit the Twin Stick in the C
A
Fix bracket and press it down gently ( ).
Rotate the Twin Stick to the rear until it engages in the C
A
Fix bracket ( ).
Move the Twin Stick down until it is seated correctly in the L
A
Fix bracket ( ).
Fasten the M3 screws of the L
A
Fix bracket ( ) to a torque of approx. 1,5 Nm.
Fasten the M3 screws for the C
A
Fix bracket to a torque of approx. 1.5 Nm to fix the
Twin Stick ( ).
