5.1. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The DBT12/15/24 is designed for horizontal, deck-mount installation. The mounting feet on
each side of the unit contain a number of slots, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6. The use of
stainless steel hardware 3/8" (9 to 10 mm) or equivalent is required for mounting.
The mounting surface should be flat and dimensionally stable to within 1/16" (1.6 mm) to prevent
torsional stresses being applied to the structure of the unit. Spacers (shim stock) may be added
between the mounting surface and the mounting feet to adjust the mounting plane. Resilient
mounts must not be used directly between the unit and the mounting surface. If the unit is to be
mounted in a high vibration / shock environment, then the factory must be consulted concerning
the application. Drawings for approved shock mounting panels will be supplied.
The following recommended clearances must be considered during installation:
