Mounting Methods
The typical mounting method is to suspend the system with a threaded rod. The
threaded rod should support the complete load of the system. When securing the
threaded rod to the frame, the isolation bushing should be used on all four mounting
holes. This electrically isolates the frame from any support structure.
The system is designed to support the metal detector, reject assembly, and associated
parts. Discharge and reject piping should have their own support structures. Hanging
piping from these ports may distort the reject body and render the reject inoperable. It
is equally important that input piping should be independently supported and not
supported by the metal detector's product tube.
It is necessary to electrically isolate the support from the hanging rods. Use nylon
bushings to do this. Two bushings are needed on each mounting hole to isolate both the
upper and lower mounting nuts, as shown in the figure below.
If you have any questions about installation requirements and restrictions, please
contact Thermo Fisher Scientific—as described in the "Contacting Thermo Fisher
Scientific" section at the end of the manual.
