Notes on four-point mounting
Note
Installation secured at 4 points
Where mechanical strain is liable to be high, for example when used on a ship, four-point
mounting is necessary.
You will find details in the section "Mechanical stability (in operation) (Page 98)".
Example of a four-point mounting: Two mounting brackets on the left-hand side of the device
(front and back) and two mounting brackets on the right-hand side of the device (front and
back).
Requirements
For the four-point mounting, you require the following:
●
4 suitable brackets
●
4 countersunk screws (M3 x 6) per bracket
To secure the mounting brackets to the device.
●
2 suitable round-head screws (6 mm diameter) per mounting bracket
For the surface on which the device is mounted.
Bracket
To install a SCALANCE XR-500 on a ship horizontally, you require special mounting
brackets. You will find the design drawings for constructing the mounting brackets in the
section "Mounting brackets for use on ships (Page 86)".
Mounting brackets for a SCALANCE XR524-8C
For the SCALANCE XR524-8C, the mounting brackets for left and right are identical.
For the SCALANCE XR524-8C, you can also use the mounting brackets intended for 19"
rack mounting for the four-point mounting. Two suitable brackets ship with the device. Make
the two missing mounting brackets according to the design drawings.
Brackets for the SCALANCE XR528-6M and SCALANCE XR552-12M
For SCALANCE XR528-6M and SCALANCE XR552-12M, you require different mounting
brackets. The mounting brackets on one side are identical but the mounting brackets for left
and right are different.
How to distinguish the mounting brackets is described in the section "Mounting brackets for
use on ships (Page 86)".
Make the four mounting brackets according to the design drawings.
