Base Station Installation

Base Station Installation

It is recommended that the base station is wall mounted (Fig 3). Alternatively it may be mounted on a bench. The base station houses the CD-ROM drive and power supplies.

Note: The electronic module should only be fitted after the base station has been installed.

Wall Mounting

It is important that the following points be considered before carrying out the mounting procedure.

1. The location should be close to the vehicle repair bays. The base station will require a power outlet close by, such that the 2m mains lead will comfortably reach the outlet.
2. The wall plate should be attached with four fasteners, each of which has a minimum pull-out strength of 300 kg (662 lb). The four fasteners are not supplied, as the type of fastening will depend on the wall material. The mounting holes in the wall plate are 8mm diameter with a maximum clearance for a socket spanner of 30mm. It is recommended that 6mm diameter bolts are used to secure the wall plate.

WARNING: The mains power outlet must be close to the equipment and be clearly recognisable as the power source for safety reasons.

French Market Only: Do not connect the PDU equipment to IT (Impedante Terre) power systems.

WARNING: This equipment must be earthed via the mains lead through the outlet socket. In markets where three pin main power outlets are not available, a separate earth point must be used

Procedure

1. Select a suitable location.
2. Mark a horizontal line on the wall 900mm above the floor (Fig 3)
3. Remove the two screws securing the wall mounting plate to the base station and remove the wall mounting plate.
4. Hold the wall mounting plate up to the marked line and mark four hole positions for the wall mounting plate bolts.
5. Drill the wall to the correct diameter and depth required for the four bolts.
6. Securely fasten the wall mounting plate to the wall. Lift the base station onto the wall mounting plate, fit and tighten the two screws/washers to secure the base station to the mounting plate.

CAUTION: The gap beneath the base station should be maintained free from obstructions to allow a flow of air under the unit for cooling.
