6.Installing and assembling
6.1 Unboxing
As is customizable, it is important to perform a cautious visual inspectiondTower
before the installing and assembling processes. In case of missing pieces, immediately
contact the Digicon representative responsible for the sale.

Two people are necessary to remove the equipment from the box;
The top flaps of the box can be folded in the middle, facilitating access to the
equipment;
Be careful when removing the equipment from its box not to damage it
6.2 Pre-installation
Before starting installation of , the floor where the equipment will be installeddTower
must be ready. The built-in boxes must be installed before affixing the . There isdTower
an opening underneath the equipment and the built-in boxes must be centered on it.
The floor must be steady and levelled to ensure good performance of the equipment.
NOTE -Measurements are illustrated in millimeters and (inches).

6.3 Fixation to the floor
The image below indicates the points for fixing the product to the floor.
The surface must be steady and leveled to ensure good performance for the passage-
controlling sensor and to maintain the doors aligned.
Fixing can be done through mechanical bolts, also known as parabolts, or through
chemical anchorage.
For mechanical bolts, minimum floors thickness should be 100mm.
In case of floors with less than 100mm thickness or special floors, use chemical
anchorage.
NOTE – To facilitate tightening the screws, use a long extensor.
NOTE -Measurements are illustrated in millimeters and (inches).
It is very important to check, upon installation, the alignment of the doors in the closed
position. The distance, from top to bottom, must be the same.

Step-by-step:
1. Use the 12mm (0,47'') drill to drill the hole with depth of 90mm (Threaded bar M10);
2. Clean the hole with an air blower or a vacuum to remove any debris.
3. Place the threaded bar inside the hole and measure the depth. The bar has a mark
that must be leveled with the ground;
4. Place the HVU capsule inside the hole;
5. Attach the threaded bar to the drill and screw it until it reaches the bottom of the hole
or until the mark of the threaded bar is leveled with the ground;
6. Apply the drill until the chemical material rises to the surface;
7. Do not touch the threaded bar until the chemical reaction is over (10min);

6.4 Fixation of doors
dTower is packaged with the doors unassembled, that is, they accompany the
equipment separately in order to avoid damage.
To install/fixate the doors, follow the step-by-step below:
1º Place the screw (1) only in the upper part, in the fastener hole (2);
2º With the screw inside the fastener hole (2), place it in the door hole (4);
3º With the three parts fitted, fix them to the equipment engine (5);
4º With the upper part fixed, place the screw (3) on the lower part, going through the
fastener (2), the door (6) and the engine (7);
5º With the door suspended, before tightening the screws all the way, align the door;
6º With a torque meter, the recommended torque is 20Nm when tightening the screws
in place.
