Installation
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Each model of the ITCS-A-1xx family of SASL units is mounted slightly differently. SASL units
weigh up to 85 lbs (38.5kg), so it is important to ensure that the structure, to which the SASL is to
be attached, is of sufficient strength. The SASL may be ceiling mounted, wall mounted or attached
to a suitable stand. When ceiling mounted, a safety cable must be secured to a separate ceiling
fixture and attached to the SASL mounting bracket.
When mounting the SASL as a stand-alone unit, make sure that it is mounted the correct way up as
indicated by information in the Technical Manual, for the specific SASL. If the SASL is one of
several and is part of an ITCS network, then orient each SASL according to the ITCS system
installation drawings. If in doubt contact a member of our technical support team.
ITCS-A-100
The ITCS-A-100 SASL is provided in its standard configuration with a mounting bracket for
installation in a landscape orientation. An optional portrait mounting bracket is available if under
special circumstances an installation configuration requires the SASL to be installed in portrait
orientation. When mounting the SASL, the SIRIT RFID reader should be below the mounting tube
as shown in figure 5, to ensure that the center of gravity is below the axis of the mounting tube.
Consult the Technical Manual, for further information. Contact a member of our technical support
team for more information.
ITCS-A-102
The ITCS-A-102 SASL is only mounted in a landscape orientation because the array is symmetrical
there is no benefit to mounting the array in a portrait fashion. When mounting the SASL, the SIRIT
RFID reader should be below the mounting tube as shown in figure 6, to ensure that the center of
gravity is below the axis of the mounting tube. Consult the Technical Manual, for further
information. Contact a member of our technical support team for more information.
ITCS-A-104
The ITCS-A-104 SASL is designed to be mounted by hanging the array from above as shown in
figure 1. The SASL must be stabilized to ensure that the unit does not move once mounted.
Consult the Technical Manual, for further information. Contact a member of our technical support
team for more information.
The SASL mounting bracket incorporates a mounting tube which is designed to be attached to
industry standard “UNISTRUT
®
” industrial framing systems. (See: www.unistrut.com for more
information). Figure 4 shows the ITCS-A-100 and ITCS-A-102 mounting brackets. The ITCS-A-104
mounting is similar and uses the same “ UNISTRUT ” hardware.
When mounting the SASL as a stand-alone unit, make sure that it is mounted the correct way up as
indicated by information in the Technical Manual, for the specific SASL. If the SASL is one of
several and is part of an ITCS network, then orientate each SASL according to the ITCS system
installation drawings. If in doubt contact a member of our technical support team.
