4 INSTALLATION ON GRADED SURFACES
IMPORTANT
PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MULTIPART APPLICATION OF THE SPECIFIED
EPOXY FILL EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED DURING INSTALLATION. THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS
DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE EPOXY TO FULLY ENCAPSULATE THE PLACEPOD ON THE TOP,
BOTTOM AND SIDES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE LONG TERM PROTECTION FROM MOISTURE,
CHEMICAL AND OTHER FORMS OF CONTACT DEGRADATION OVER THE INTENDED LIFETIME
OF THE PRODUCT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION MAY RESULT IN SHORTENED PRODUCT
LIFETIME.
1. Pavement angle must be taken into account when drilling the core. The depths specified
in the following pages are based on a level surface. Depth measurements must be made
from the lowest point on the graded surface as shown in the illustration below,
particularly if the core drill rig places the core-bit perpendicular to the pavement surface.
2. When back-filling with sand, the sand needs to be as level as possible. This will allow
for even layers of epoxy to be applied. The epoxy is self-leveling, therefore the bottom
layer of epoxy will enable the sensor itself to be level once inserted into the hole.
