Setting Up and Installing Mounting Plates

Setting Up Mounting Plates

It’s a good idea to get all your mounting plates set up with KwikLink connector bases or ArmorBlock cable bases before installation, as your system layout determines.

Note: ArmorBlock cable bases are installed on mounting plates perpendicular in orientation to the flat cable runs.

Vacuum hoppers/receiver stations require 8-connector ArmorBlocks; vacuum pumps and central alarm stations require 4-connector ArmorBlocks.

Make sure that each mounting plate has properly attached tube clamps as required. Each mounting plate requires two (2) tube clamps. Always use locking washers, especially in high-vibration environments.

Installing Assembled Mounting Plates

After you’ve set up the mounting plates:

1.Install them at each node location by clipping the tubing clamps onto the vacuum tube, just before the node area (such as a T-valve).

2.Orient the mounting plate parallel with the flat cables and at a 30º to 45º angle so the KwikLink connector or ArmorBlock faces the operator on the floor; torque the tubing clamp fasteners until tight.

The flat cable will be installed inside KwikLink connectors and ArmorBlocks as described in the following sections of this chapter.
