Anchoring
Place the controller in the desired installation location. The floor must be flat and
level. Use four 12 mm (1/2 in. [M12]) floor mounting bolts to securely fasten the
controller to the mounting surface. See
as an example of the location of
the mounting holes in the cabinet.

NOTES FOR SEISMIC APPLICATIONS
• For installations on concrete – the minimum depth and radius of
concrete supporting the cabinet anchors is dependent on seismic loads.
Refer to important information above.
• For installations on a metal structure – the metal plate depth and cabinet
anchoring method is dependent on seismic loads.
TIP
Refer to Dimension Drawing provided with order documentation for additional
details related to cabinet floor plan.
IMPORTANT
Pre-determined cabinets have been designed for Uniform Building Code (UBC)
seismic zone 1, 2A, 2B, 3 and 4, and IBC (International Building Code) seismic
activity without overturning or lateral movement, provided they are securely
mounted according to UBC, IBC and local building codes. This can include
concrete pad design, steel floor design and the sizing of cabinet anchors.
Concrete floor cutouts must not be adjacent to floor anchor bolts and must be
sized to seismic load. Consult factory if floor mounting must be reviewed by an
accredited engineer. Many jurisdictions require an engineer from the local area
to review the design. Seismic qualification does not indicate that the
equipment will function properly after a seismic event.
