Chapter 6: Installation of the Microcell
on Vertical Pipe Legs
Follow the instructions in this chapter only if installing Microcells
on vertical pipe legs. Skip this chapter if installing other options.
This chapter describes the mounting locations, and wiring installa-
tion details for Microcells and junction boxes on vertical pipe leg
applications.
Follow the procedures below to determine Microcell mounting locations
prior to beginning installation. This will ensure optimal system
performance. Consult KM if special considerations prevent you from
installing Microcells at the designated locations.
Note
Do not mix different types of Microcells on one vessel. The three
types — 3-inch standardized (light blue cover), 3-inch
non-standardized (dark blue cover), and 2-inch — are not
interchangeable.
Mounting Locations
Microcell Sets
See Figure 6-1and 6-2. For best performance, Microcells are mounted
vertically. A Microcell set consists of two Microcells mounted on
opposite sides of a support leg, at the same elevation.
