operator installation/surface operator
Before installing Operator/Spike system check concrete to be even and leveled, avoiding any Operator/
Spike system unbalance and unevenness.
Conduit requirements may vary depending on your specific needs. Use only sweeps for conduit bends,
do not use 90° connectors this will make wire pulls very difficult and can cause damage to wire insula-
tion. A suggested minimum of 3/4-inch conduit should be used. Be sure that all conduits are installed in
accordance with local codes.
