Base Station installation
It is recommended that the base station is wall
mounted (Fig 3). Alternatively it may be mounted
on a bench. The base station houses the CD-ROM
drive and power supplies.
Note: The electronic module should only be fitted after
the base station has been installed.
W a l l Mounting
It is importantthatthefollowing points be considered
before carrying out the mounting procedure.
The location should be close to the vehicle repair
bays. The base station will require a power outlet
close by, such that the 2m mains lead w i l l
comfortably reach the outlet.
Thewall plate should be attached with fourfasteners,
each of which has a minimum pull-out strength of
300 kg (662 lb). Thefourfasteners are not supplied,
as the type of fastening will depend on the wall
material. The mounting holes in the wall plate are
8mm diameter with a maximum clearance for a
socket spanner of 30mm. It is recommended that
6mm diameter bolts are used to secure the wall
plate.
WARNING: The mains power outlet must be dose
to the equipment and be clearly recognisable as
the power source for safety reasons.
