Mounting the carrier controller
It is not necessary to open the carrier controller for mounting.
The mounting fixture on the EMS carrier provides several options of mounting the carrier
controller:
●
Tapped holes for threaded pins or screws
●
Through-holes for threaded bolts or screws
●
Threaded bolts on the mounting surface
The bolting surface must allow for full surface contact of the fastening hooks on the carrier
controller. The fastening hooks are designed for M8 threads.
The following drill pattern shows the distances between the mounting elements.
Observe the specifications in the section "Operational requirements (Page 52)".
