Install The System - Edwards iXM Series Instruction Manual

4.4 Install the system

Requirements to secure the system in place to prevent unwanted movement (for
example, during an earthquake):
▪ A minimum of 2 seismic brackets are necessary to secure the pump.
▪ The seismic brackets
level 4 earthquake in a ground floor installation (available as an accessory). Refer
to
▪ There are seismic mounting points along the sides of the pump. If you have to
consider space constraints, there are alternative seismic mounting points on the
front and rear bulkhead.
▪ The system can be attached to the floor with applicable bolts or studs (not
supplied) through the 17.5 mm diameter hole in the seismic brackets.
▪ If vibration transmission to the floor is a possible problem, attach vibration
isolators (not supplied) between the seismic brackets and the bolt or stud.
▪ Make sure that the bolt spacing is sufficient for the floor strength and expected
loads.
▪ The system has mounting points to attach four seismic brackets as shown in view A

brackets are securing the system from the front and back. Refer to
page 93 to select the correct seismic bracket kit for the system and for information
about the systems which can be held with only two brackets.
