Chapter 2 — Installing the Forklift Power Supply
Smaller metallic surfaces may be adequate when good air flow is
available or if the portable printer is going to be used in a
refrigerated area. Mountings exposed to direct sunlight may
require more heat sink area.
Using a Standard Power Supply Mount
The installation kit includes the standard hardware for mounting
the power supply. Use mounting Method A when you can easily
access the back side of the mounting location to install a lock nut
and washer. Use mounting Method B where the back side of the
mounting location is inaccessible. Note that this method requires
that the mounting plate be thick enough to accept and retain
sufficient thread to provide a secure and reliable mechanical
installation.
To use mounting Method A
1 Mark and center punch the two mounting holes on the
mounting surface.
2 Use a 1/4-inch drill bit to make the two mounting holes.
3 Use 1/4-inch hex bolts with flat washers and locking nuts to
install the power supply.
To use mounting Method B
1 Mark and center punch the two mounting hole locations on
the mounting surface.
2 Use a #7 drill bit (equal to a hole diameter of 5.1 cm) to make
the mounting holes.
3 Use a 1/4-20 tap to thread the mounting holes.
4 Place a lockwasher on each bolt.
5 Insert the bolt/lockwasher assemblies through the power
supply holes and into the threaded mounting holes.
