Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Large System Installation and Commissioning
Procedure 66
Installing Kit B
1 Locate the two mounting plates for each column over the anchor holes.
Insert the anchors into the holes and tap the anchors into place with a
mallet.
2 Level the plates with shims. Leave the stack of shims exposed until all
leveling has been completed (this will allow the addition or removal of
shims if necessary).
3 If the installation must meet CALIFORNIA OSHPD, tension proof load
testing is required on 50% of the anchor bolts. These anchors must be
tested to 6230 N (1400 lb) tension and 122 J (90 ft-lb) torque. Any failure
requires testing of all remaining anchors.
4 Go to “Installing earthquake rods” on page 351.
End of Procedure
Installing earthquake rods
The following tools are required to install the rods:
• 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) socket wrench
• 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) open-end wrench for rods
• 14.3 mm (9/16 in.) open-end wrench for nuts
Note: The earthquake rods should be installed before you position the
columns.
