The most effective form of isolation is to locate the unit
away from any sound sensitive area. Structurally trans

mitted sound can be reduced by elastomeric vibration
eliminators. Spring isolators are not recommended. Con-
sult an acoustical engineer in critical sound applications.
For maximum isolation effect, isolate water lines and
electrical conduit.Wall sleeves and rubber isolated piping
hangers can be used to reduce the sound transmitted
through water piping.To reduce the sound transmitted
through electrical conduit, use
fl
exible electrical conduit.
State and local codes on sound emissions should always
be considered. Since the environment in which a sound
source is located affects sound pressure, unit placement
must be carefully evaluated.
The optional isolator is rubber isolator,follow following
installation steps:
1. According
Figure 13
location to install the isolator.
2. Secure the isolators to the mounting surface using
the mounting slots in the isolator base plate. Do not
fully tighten the isolator mounting bolts at this time.
3. Align the mounting holes in the base of the unit with
the threaded positioning pins on the top of the isola-
tors.
4. Lower the unit onto the isolators and secure the iso-
lator to the unit with a nut. Maximum isolator de
fl
ec-
tion should be 1/4 inch (6 mm).
5. Level the unit carefully. Fully tighten the isolator
mounting bolts.
