Danger:
Before mounting, make sure that the corresponding radiation source
is securely closed. Use a padlock to secure the source holder in the
closed condition and prevent it from being inadvertently opened. Also
take note of the instructions in the operating instructions manual of
the source holder.
1. Place the mounting adapter (1) according to the above illustration
onto the existing mounting bracket (5).

through the holes of the mounting adapter (1) and the mounting
bracket (5).
3. Place two washers (3) over the screws from below and screw the
hexagon nuts (4) onto the screws (6).
Tighten the screws (6) with a torque of 60 Nm (44 lbf ft).
4. Place the sensor according to above illustration onto the mount-
ing adapter (1).
5. Insert the two screws (2) from below through the holes of the
mounting adapter (1).
6. Place one regular washer (7) and one lock washer (8) over each
screw from above and screw the hexagon nuts (9) onto the
screws (2).
Tighten the screws (2) with a torque of 15 Nm (11 lbf ft).
The radiation-based sensors MINITRAC 31 or POINTRAC 31 in the
short version (46 mm/1.8 in) can be used instead of the sensor GM-
16.
The mounting adapter is constructed in such a way that the sensors
are already in the correct position after mounting.
2.2 Mounting of the anti-vibration clamp
In applications where strong vibration is expected, you can equip the
mounting adapter with an additional anti-vibration clamp.
As far as not otherwise stated, all parts are in the scope of delivery.
