Mounting A Single Array
When installing one magnet array on one vehicle:
1. Work on only one vehicle at a time.
2. Make sure that the vehicle is secured to a work surface that is clear of any magnet
arrays or ferrous material.
3. Move only one magnet array at a time and make sure that the magnet array stays as far
away from all other magnets and any ferrous material as possible.
4. Locate the magnet array on the vehicle using the locating features on the magnet array
as defined by the design of the vehicle.
5. Secure the magnet array to the vehicle using all provided mounting holes.
6. Once the array is secured to the vehicle, install the vehicle on the guideway.
Mounting Multiple Arrays
When installing multiple magnet arrays on one vehicle:
1. Work on only one vehicle at a time.
2. Make sure that the vehicle is secured to a work surface that is clear of any magnet
arrays or ferrous material.
3. Place the first magnet array as described in Mounting A Single Array.
4. Cover the installed magnet array with non-ferrous material (for example, wood) thick
enough to shield the attractive force from the magnet array (use a tool such as a steel
screwdriver to test).
5. Bring each additional magnet array to the vehicle from the opposite direction of the
installed magnet arrays.
NOTE: When a magnet array is being installed butted up against the existing magnet
array, the existing magnet array repels that magnet array. Being repelled can
cause the magnet array to attempt to twist away from the existing magnet
array.
6. Locate the magnet array on the vehicle with the locating features on the magnet array.
7. Secure each additional magnet array to the vehicle as defined by the design of the
vehicle.
8. Once all arrays are secured to the vehicle, install the vehicle on the track.
