7  -  POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION
Foresee appropriate damping devices in these fi xings to 
ensure that noise and vibration transmission is avoided 
(consult the reactions in the support in paragraph 7.5). 
7.3 - Antivibrators assembly (silent-blocks)
Although the installer is the one who must decide on a case-by-
case basis the best way to place the unit in the ultimate location, 
always in observation of the handling standards that have been 
described, below is a proposed assembly sequence that may 
facilitate the operation, keeping in mind that the sequence 
performed in the installation shall be the one most suitable to the 
solution chosen for each particular case based on the existence 
(or lack thereof) of brick curb, type of silent-blocks used, etc.
In the event of assembling directly on silent-blocks to the ground, 
it is recommended that a template of the unit’s footprint with the 
anchoring points of the silent-blocks be made, as described in the 
paragraph “Preparation of the ground”. 
With the help of the crane or the forklift truck, the unit will be raised 
to a suffi  cient height that the silent-blocks can be screwed into its 
base (see Chapter 5). 
M12 metric threads have been provided for their placement in the 
supports (consult the fi xing for antivibrators in paragraph 7.5). All 
models will use M12 screws with a maximum length of 60 mm. 
A hex key 19 or Allen wrench 10 will be used for this operation 
based on the type of screw used.
The optional silent-blocks that can be supplied for these units 
must be placed perpendicular to the unit, as shown in the following 
image.
Preparation of the ground
It is necessary to ensure that the surface where the unit is going 
to be installed in completely fl at. Any defect in the preparation of 
the unit support surface translates into stresses on the structure, 
which may result in its deformation. The unit must be perfectly 
level when installed.
These units can be installed on the fl oor or on a brick curb or 
steel profi le. Based on the fi xing solution defi ned in the installation 
project, it will be necessary to plan the placement in the base of 
threaded rods in the expectation that the unit supports can be fi xed 
later on. To do so, it is recommended that a template be made 
with the heights corresponding to the fi xings.
Sound Level
These units are designed to work with a low acoustic level. In any 
case, the following must be taken into account for the design of 
the installation: the outdoor environment for acoustic radiation, the 
type of building for the noise transmitted by air, the solid elements 
for the transmission of vibrations. 
To reduce transmission through solid surfaces to the maximum, it 
is very advisable to install shock absorbers between the ground 
or structure and the unit frame. If necessary, a study must be 
commissioned to an acoustic technician.
Silent-blocks
The screws required for the installation of the silent-blocks are 
not supplied from the factory. 
These screws must have an adequate 
quality to withstand the stresses to which 
they will be subjected, and they must be 
adapted to the installation site, either on a 
brick curb or a steel profi le. 
Note: If the silent-block hole has a diameter 
greater than M12, a washer can be used to 
adjust the size.

Sound power level (LW)
Sound pressure level (LP)
Measurement conditions: in a clear fi eld, measured at a distance 
of 5 metres, directivity 2 and at 1,5 metres from the ground.
Note: The sound pressure level depends on the installation conditions 
and, as such, it only indicated as a guide. Values obtained according to 
the ISO 3744 standard.
