Installation
Read this manual before installing SkyPods.
Installation Guidelines:
§
Complete the
Site Survey
form prior to delivery and/or installation.
§
Send a completed
Installation Checklist
after any installation to Rugged Interactive.
§
A typical installation should take 2 people about 2 hours.
§
No obstructions or protrusions in the installation area: e.g. skirting boards, pipes, cables and wiring
conduits.
§
Avoid trapped and/or pinched cables.
§
Use good practice when running data cables to and from products, external pods and sensors.
Support long cables at least every 50 cm and provide adequate strain relief for connection points.
§
To prevent electric shock, keep all electric components away from contact with water.
§
IMPORTANT: Take anti-static precautions.
Structure:
§
The units must be mounted to a flat/level construction capable of supporting its weight and
gameplay. (Uneven walls and surfaces make alignment and fitting very difficult.)
§
Mount onto 18 mm plywood (12 mm minimum) mechanically mounted to a steel framework (50 mm
box minimum). The plywood should be covered with foam-backed vinyl.
§
Units can either be secured on top of the foam-backed vinyl, or embedded in a purpose-made cut-
out. Adequate holes will need to be cut during installation to provide clearance for cable access to
rear if required.
§
Avoid clashing the steel uprights with the fixing holes.
§
Do not fix to plasterboard faced partition. Avoid stud walls or unsupported portal infills.
§
It is strongly recommended that the units are installed onto a wall that projects forward at least 0.3
m over the edge of the trampoline. This ensures that users land in the middle of the trampoline bed.
Fixings:
§
The manufacturer will supply fixings and plugs.
§
Use hex-headed screws of 50-70 mm length (2”) x M10 for a plywood structure.
§
10 x 35 ‘penny’ washers to spread the load at each bolt head are recommended.
§
All fixings must be tight and secure.
Installation Heights:
§
Take into consideration individual trampoline park primary user groups and the relative bounciness
of trampolines when determining the installation height.
§
Recommended installation heights: See
Figure 2.2
