Bravo Platform User Guide
Before you start
Make sure you have the following:
•
Orbital Shaking Station with adapter pad and attachment screws
•
Hex wrenches: M2, M4, and M5
If the Orbital Shaking Station does not have its own control module, make sure that you
have an Inheco Single TEC controller (STC) or Multi TEC controller (MTC).
To prevent a potential injury, turn off the Bravo Platform before you install or remove
the accessory.
Ensure that you remove the platepad from the deck location where you plan to install
the Orbital Shaking Station.
To install the Orbital Shaking Station:
1
Position the adapter pad at the target deck location aligning the dowel pins with
the corresponding holes in the deck.
Make sure the adapter pad sits level on the deck.
2
Insert the M6 x 12-mm flathead screw into the center of the adapter pad and
tighten the screw.
3
Place the Orbital Shaking Station atop the adapter pad so that the cable is towards
the back of the Bravo deck.
Make sure the station is completely centered on top of the adapter and sits level.
4
Insert the two M3 x 18-mm socket-head cap screws into the holes at the front and
back end of the adapter pad and use a 2.5-mm hex driver to tighten the screws.
Tighten screws evenly to ensure the feet on the bottom of the Orbital Shaking
Station are pressed evenly into the adapter pad and the pad remains level.
Note: The feet of the Orbital Shaking Station are compressible, and these screws
do not reach a hard stop as a result.
