8.2 Mechanical installation
8.2.1 Preparatory measures
X
A suitable mounting frame or plate with 4 mount-
ing holes must be provided for fastening of the
contactor. See Fig. 9 and Fig. 10.
X
The mounting frame or plate must be solid enough
to carry the weight of the device under shock and
vibration conditions.
X
The mounting holes can be either:
- threaded holes (for threaded screws)
- or through holes (for threaded screws and nuts)
X
Fastening of the contactors on the mounting plate
is performed using four M8 mounting screws.
- The length of the mounting screws must be de-
termined dependent on the structural circum-
stances.
- To secure the mounting screws so that they
do not come loose, appropriate screw locking
elements must be provided. Schaltbau recom-
mends using Schnorr washers (or similar).
- The mounting screws (and if applicable the
nuts) must be strength class 8.8 or higher.
X
The mounting screws must be tightened to the
specied torque, which depends on the strength
class (min. 8.8) of the screws/nuts used.
