4.3 MOUNTING THE 2AP
Proper placement of the unit is important when installing the 2AP, as it requires a specific amount of
space to operate. Refer to section 4.7 for additional information on how to mount and configure the
2AP as a Positioner instead of as a Suntracker.
The 2AP is supplied with a standard
∅ 203 mm bottom flange, which has a 4-hole (∅ 11 mm)
mounting pattern to match that of the optional Height Extension Tube and Tripod Floor Stand with
levelling feet. See section 4.5.1 on how to install the optional Tripod.
The Height Extension Tube is an optional accessory. It extends the height of the 2AP by 60 cm.
Without the Height Extension Tube the 2AP can be mounted directly onto the mounting flange of
the Tripod Floor Stand.
Figure 4.6: Mounting the 2AP on the Height Extension Tube and Tripod Floor Stand.
If it is intended to mount the 2AP on a customer-supplied platform, the bottom flange contains an
extra set of 4 holes, which are threaded, and a set of levelling screws. See figure 4.7 for details of
the bottom flange mounting hole pattern and thread type.
