OBJECTIVES • Familiarize the user with mechanical fitting types • Familiarize the user with various connections used by Solid AT. __________________________________________________________________ AN0023GE Rev: - 1.00 Page 3 of 6 © Copyright Solid Applied Technologies Ltd. 3. MECHANICAL FITTING TYPES 3.1 MECHANICAL FITTING TYPES The most commonly used fittings: • Gland • Conduit ½“ NPT • Conduit M20 The European mechanical fittings are based on gland, conduit M20 connections. North American mechanical fittings are based on conduit ½“ NPT. 3.2 MONOSCAN CONNECTIONS 3.2.1 MonoScan Mechanical Fittings • Connector connection Pg7 • Conduit connection 1/2" NPT • Conduit connection M20 x 2.5 Figure 1: MonoScan Connector Front View NOTE: The cable for the mating connector must be at least 6 mm in diameter. __________________________________________________________________ AN0023GE Rev: - 1.00 Page 4 of 6 © Copyright Solid Applied Technologies Ltd. 3.2.2 Conduit Box Figure 2: MonoScan Conduit Adapter NOTE: The conduit adapter should not exceed a torque of 50 lb/In. To maintain the MonoScan properly sealed, make sure that conduit is firmly screwed to the conduit's adaptor. 3.2.3 MonoScan IP 67/NEMA 6 The MonoScan EX with conduit connection is suitable for IP 67/NEMA6. 3.3 MICROSCAN 3.3.1 MicroScan Mechanical Fittings • Gland connection (to fit 1/2" NPT) • Conduit connection 1/2" NPT • Conduit connection M20 x 2.5 Use a conduit connector that is either 1/2" NPT or M20 x 2.5 compatible (depending on your MicroScan model) to ensure the unit will remain sealed. NOTE: The conduit adapter should not exceed a torque of 50 lb/In. To maintain the MicroScan properly sealed, make sure that conduit is firmly screwed to the conduit's adaptor. __________________________________________________________________ AN0023GE Rev: - 1.00 Page 5 of 6 © Copyright Solid Applied Technologies Ltd. 3.4 SMARTSCAN & SMARTLITE 3.4.1 SmartScan Mechanical Fittings • Gland connection Pg9 • Conduit connection 1/2" NPT • Conduit connection M 20 x 2.5 Figure 4: SmartScan Gland Connection NOTE: In order to ensure that the unit remains sealed, make sure to use round cables (for gland fitting) with a minimum of 6-7 mm diameter. Figure 5: SmartScan Conduit Connection NOTE: The conduit adapter should not exceed a torque of 250 lb/In. __________________________________________________________________ AN0023GE Rev: - 1.00 Page 6 of 6 © Copyright Solid Applied Technologies Ltd.
