16 | Turntable Installation Considerations
Do not, at any time, place hands or feet in the vicinity of the
drive pinion on the turntable.
Power and Signal Lines
CONDUIT
Power and signal line paths should be planned in advance. Conduit should be in
place before pouring concrete or installing the ground plane. Consider the size of
the cable bundle when selecting conduit diameter.
ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
A qualified and licensed electrical contractor should install power lines, and the
installation should comply with all applicable regulatory agencies. A dedicated
circuit should be used, with the shortest distance possible between the power
source and the turntable.
ACCESS
An access area beneath the turntable is advisable for large diameter
installations. A service switch should be installed to deactivate the turntable
during service.
Outdoor Installations
DRAINAGE
A centerline drain of at least 15 cm (6 in) must be installed to provide proper
drainage during rainstorms and other moisture-collecting situations.
COLD CLIMATE CONDITIONING
The oil used in the gear assemblies will congeal at 2 degrees C (28 degrees F).
Turntables operated in these temperatures should include a heat source or
dehumidifier, or both.
