Multicomponent Force Plate for Biomechanics Type 9287C…
4. Assembly, Installation and Putting Into Operation
4.1 Important Remarks
The multicomponent force plate Type 9287C... is a preci-
sion instrument, however its inherent accuracy can only be
exploited and retained if it is treated carefully. The follow-
ing points should be observed:
Never drop the force plate or expose it to heavy im-
pacts! The maximum force of a shock of this kind could
exceed the measuring range of the instrument and
cause damage
For safety reasons the force plate has to be grounded
using a separate ground wire connected to the M4
thread near the platform connector
Observe that the surface pressure is limited to max.
5 N/mm
2
. (Details see technical data)
The force plate should be installed only by persons suf-
ficiently qualified for this job
For the force plate 9287C... the mounting frame 9427
is available for correct mounting on a concrete base
Basically the mounting frame is grouted onto the con-
crete base using castable grout. Then the force plate is
screwed onto the mounting frame, with a gap separat-
ing the top plate from the surrounding structure
Please refer to the instruction manual 002-034 "Force
Plate Installation and Maintenance" for detailed proce-
dures and information.
For nonobservance of the mounting instructions Kistler
will decline all responsibility.
