Detailed Installation
These steps provide the most thorough and accurate instructions
The SVFT-M model mounts on a Vicon mount (refer to the Introduction section) or a 1.5-inch vertical pipe
with appropriate coupling. The pipe is a standard 1.5-inch NPT type and must be oriented vertically so the
SVFT-M can effectively hang from the pipe. The unit includes a sunshield, heater and weather protection.
Overview
The mount is installed with all the cables run through it or the 1.5-inch NPT pipe is prepared with lubricant for
the housing and the SVFT-M installation. The cables are routed through the housing and the housing is
screwed tightly to the pipe. Then the customer interface board is wired. The SVFT-M housing is hung from
the housing safety cord. Failure to do so could cause damage to unit or be a safety hazard. The SVFT-M
drive is then carefully snapped into the housing. The entire SVFT-M is supported by the mount. The lower
dome is then snapped on and screwed tight to the SVFT-M. See Figure 2. Detailed installation instructions
will follow.
The accessory kit contains the removable terminal blocks to be used for connections in this installation. The
mount must provide a support of suitable strength for the SVFT-M weight of 9.6 lb (4.4 kg).
