Assembly

The profile of PSEN op Protective Column 2-4/1 is supplied with
pre-installed deviating mirrors and does not require mechanical
installation.

Levelling and angular adjustment of the plates

The grooves on the base plate are used to define the required angle
position. Tighten the slot holes on the bottom plate with the screws
M10 on the floor (not entirely). Slightly loosen the counter nuts on
the top plate and align any unevenness using the spirit level. Then
fix the screws M10 completely. Finally, check again whether the
protective column is straight, readjust if necessary and tighten the
counter nuts again (Fig. 2).

Installing the PSEN op Protective Base/1 accessories

Screw the additional plate to the floor and mount the 3 springs on
the spacers. Fix the protective column with the base plate so that
the slot holes of the bottom plate are right above the springs. Insert
the screws M10 together with the washers (PSEN op Protective
Base/1 accessories) into the slot holes and compress the 3 springs
equally when affixing the screws (Fig. 3). Align the protective
column as described in "Levelling and angular adjustment of the
plates".

The optimum working height of the springs (distance between base
plate and additional plate) is ca. 42 mm.
