Installing your Instrument—Mechanical Mounting
Mounting your Instrument
The base plate or bottom of the instrument has 4 mounting holes. Two are SAE
thread and two are metric thread. For location and dimensions, please see Appendix
E.
Your Smart-Trak 2 instrument is made from premium 316 stainless steel. As a result,
it may require substantial mounting brackets to properly support its weight. Exercise
caution when installing to avoid damage or injury.
Mounting the Optional Remote Pilot Module
If you have the optional Remote Pilot Module control unit, you have several
mounting options.
1.
Wall or Panel mounting
—your Remote Pilot Module may be mounted to a
flat surface using the supplied plate and 2 special “shoulder” screws.
Simply screw the shoulder screws into the plate. Then, attach the plate to
the wall by driving 2 screws (not included) through the 2 large central holes.
MAKE SURE THE UP ARROW IMPRINTED ON THE MOUNTING
BRACKET POINTS UPWARD.
Your Remote Pilot Module will slip onto
the shoulder screws. Push against the plate and then down. To remove,
push up and pull. Attach the CAT-5 cable to the socket on the bottom of the
Remote Pilot Module.
2.
Rack mounting
—to mount your Remote Pilot Module to a standard 19”
laboratory rack, first purchase a “blank” panel from your industrial supplier.
Decide where the Remote Pilot Module will be attached, then follow the
procedure listed above for wall mounting. When you are ready, insert the
CAT-5 cable into the socket in the Remote Pilot Module.
3.
Desktop mounting
—the Remote Pilot Module will sit on a desk in a
fashion that makes it convenient to view and operate. Insert the CAT-5
cable into the socket in the back of the Module. Use the cable as a
“kickstand.” Gently bend the cable to recline the Remote Pilot Module to
an angle suitable for easy viewing. Alternately, you can lay the Remote
Pilot Module on its back and insert the CAT-5 cable into the socket in the
bottom.
