Anchor Frame
Ventilation space is required to the rear of the equipment: 4” to solid surface, 6” to heat producing surface.
Floor Mounted Frame
Using the 847135688 Floor Anchor Kit (recommended):
Anchor Type (Hilti) Wrench Torque
(4) 12 mm Cap Bolts 19 mm
720 in-lb
60 ft-lb
82 Nm
Note: If using Equivalent Floor Anchors, make sure the floor anchors are rated for this application.
Note: An optional Supplemental Frame (without controller) may be located on either side of the Initial Frame (with
Millennium II controller).
Step Action

Battery or Battery Stand Mounted Frame
Step Action
1
Verify that battery or battery stand is positioned to provide adequate ventilation space to the rear of the
equipment: 4” to solid surface, 6” to heat producing surface. Figure 13 shows the placement of the base of the
floor mounted frame to meet ventilation space requirements
Place and secure frame to battery or battery stand per instructions provided with the battery stand or
adapter.
Figure 13 Battery Stand Mount
Sub-frame Mounted Systems:
Sub-frame mounted systems can be mounted in any standard 23” equipment mounting rack or frame with EIA-310
standard 1-3/4” rack spaces or 1” standard rack spaces. The brackets are 36.75” (21U) tall. Comcode CC848819607 kit
provides two brackets and 20 12-24 mounting screws.
Step Action
1
Verify that the rack is positioned to provide adequate ventilation space to the rear of the equipment: 4” to solid
surface, 6” to heat producing surface.
Distance required to rear of mounting rails: 16.5” to solid surface, 18.5” to heat producing surface.
Position the sub-frame system in the rack as desired.
Secure the sub-frame system into the rack with at least (12) frame mounting screws, 6 screws per side.
Torque to 35 in-lb – 5/16 socket.
