5. Installation
5.1 Choosing a location
Install the VKA-110 at a quiet, dust-free and vibration-free location (testing laboratory).
Ensure that the space is well lit to enable you to perform the visual tests without problems.
5.2 Floor requirements
The VKA-110 does not require a special floor/foundation.
However note the load-carrying capacity of the floor.
If in doubt, consult a structural engineer.
5.3 Space requirements
If the VKA-110 comes with a table, you will need a floor area of about 1200mm x
700mm.
The front of the VKA-110 must be freely accessible and provide sufficient space to load
the balance scale bar.
5.4 Mechanical Installation
Warning:
Always observe the accident prevention regulations and the generally accepted
technical safety regulations.
Do not lift the VKA-110 higher than necessary.
Never step underneath the lifted four-ball tester!
Before you mount anything on the VKA-110, turn the main switch (Q1) to OFF/"0".
5.4.1 Installation of the housing (pos. 1)
Mount and affix the VKA-110 housing on a fixed base, e.g.
HANSA Press laboratory table (item no. 002.00055); or
HANSA Press base frame (item no. 002.00729).
To obtain accurate test results, the housing must be placed horizontally on the base. Use a
spirit level to check.
Four-ball tester with support table:
Place the housing (pos. 1) and the base on the support table. Position the housing such that
the release lever (pos. 32) can be mounted on the left side of the table.
Afterwards, use four screws to fasten the housing and the base on the support table.
