a) Place the loop clamps onto the sensor cable, and position the clamps near the provided threaded
mounting holes on the vertical side edge and bottom left cross edge.
b) Position the safety switch with the cable in an upward direction and the arrow-on switch pointing forward.
Align the safety switch parallel and centered to vertical edge. Using the M4 x 25mm lg socket head
cap screw and M4 washer, mount the switch to the side panel and torque to 0.57 N-m (5 lb-in.)
c) Loop the cable down and loosely mount to the vertical edge with the M4 x 8mm lg buttonhead cap
screw.
d) Slide the cable in the loop clamps to take up slack. Torque M4 buttonhead cap screws to 0.34 N-m (3
lb-in.)
e) Loop the cable back along the left cross edge. Loosely mount the cable to the bottom cross edge with
M4 buttonhead cap screws.
f) Repeat step d.
g) Mount the side panel per test area enclosure installation instructions.
h) Prior to mounting the rear door panel, place the loop clamps onto the sensor cable at approximate
positions to the threaded mounting holes nearest to the left side panel on the back of the baseplate.
i) Loosely mount the cable to the baseplate. Repeat step d.
j) Loop the cable down and plug into the enclosure switch connector.
In most cases where the test area enclosure is installed after frame installation, it will be necessary to
remove a jumper plug first. Do not discard the jumper plug. Keep the jumper plug in case the test area
enclosure is removed in the future. The machine requires either the jumper plug or the test area enclosure
to function.
21. Insert two M6 x 1 mm x 35 mm socket head screws (item 2) through the top two holes in the back panel.
22. Position the back panel up against the two side panels such that the screws go into the threaded holes in
the side panels and hand-tighten.
23. Install the remaining two screws and tighten the four screws enough to hold the panel firmly in place, but
not so tight the panel cannot be slightly positioned for alignment.
24. If necessary, push the panels in place such that the tops are all aligned.
The door can be slightly adjusted. To adjust the door, loosen the screw that secures the side panel to the
top bracket, and pull or push the top of the side panel to raise or lower the handle side of the door so the
top of the door aligns with the side panel.
25. When the side panels, back panel, and door are all aligned, snug all fasteners according to the following
table.
