Chapter 5 Installing the system
Page 5.5 You can mount the clamp so that it is fixed permanently or can be removed later, if required. If you want the
clamp to be fixed permanently, carry out Steps 3 - 8. If you want to be able to remove the clamp, carry out
Steps 9 - 12.
If the clamp is to be fixed permanently:
1. Make sure that the face of the front panel is in good condition and has no loose or flaking paint. Use a
suitable de-greasing agent to clean the face of the panel.
2. Insert the location moulding through the aperture in the front panel.
3. Peel the protective strip off the adhesive tape on the face of the mounting clamp. Then, working from the
back of the front panel, carefully position the clamp over the location moulding. The clamp and panel bond
on contact.
4. Press firmly on the area where the clamp is bonded to the front panel to ensure that they are bonded firmly.
Remove the Location Moulding and discard it.
5. Slide the instrument through the front panel. Tighten the two captive screws to secure it into the clamp.
6. Finally, attach all connectors to the back panel.
Note that, if you install more than one instrument, it helps to support them if you use a Mounting Strap to link
each clamp to the next one, as shown in Figure 4.5:
