Mounting The Positioner - Will Burt ACCUPOINT AP-8 Operator's Manual

2.5 Mounting the Positioner

When installing, the front of the positioner can be identified as the side of the positioner
opposite of the Power/Data Connector (Figure 2-1). Note that the offset on the left of the
positioner, as you face the connector, is wider than the offset to the right. The positioner
ships in the Factory Home position.
Note That the Left Offset
is Wider Than the Right
The mounting location must:

Be capable of withstanding the holding forces required by the bolts

Be free of obstructions

Allow for sufficient pan and tilt movement

The positioner is designed to be operated in the vertical position but can be operated
at other angles, consult with Will-Burt Engineers prior to any operation other than the
vertical position.

Be sure to take into consideration other external factors, such as resonance/natural
frequency, wind or ice loading, when selecting a mounting location. Make sure that
these external factors do not overload the system.
Reference Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 for the mounting hole locations for each
Accupoint Positioner. Mount the positioner using the appropriate hardware (customer
supplied). Torque all hardware as appropriate for its material and size. The mounting
hardware should include proper means to resist vibration loosening such as thread-locking
compound or locking hardware.
