Mounting plate & Hardware
The minimum recommended protective equipment for mounting this equipment would be as
follows: eye protection, gloves, hard hat, steel cap boots, long sleeves and trousers. Danger
tape to cordon off area below if installing at height is also recommended.
The mounting of the MPM, RSP, and power supply needs to be customized to the particular
system that it is intended for. In general a mounting plate made of 16 guage sheet steel
would be sufficient to provide adequate strength. A representative diagram of a mounting
plate is provided below:

Installation
1. The mounting plate must be mounted in the vertical plane and as level as possible.
2. Fasten or weld the mounting plate to a structure near the equipment with the
following conditions:
a. No more than 50m from the equipment (100m cable run)
b. Attach to a solid structure, relatively free from vibration, ensuring that it is
capable of supporting the combined mass of approximately 30kg and the
additional loading from any vibration.
c. Ensure there is sufficient clearance (~10mm) for bolts to protrude through the
rear of the plate
3. A sun visor/slurry shield is recommended to be added to the mounting plate, which is
shown in the diagram.
