OPI-integris Cable InstallationProcedure #3 BETWEEN-RIBInstallationStep #1Locate cable position out of the way of movinggrain or auger to prevent damage. For example, ifthe auger fills the bin from the South, then locatethe cable either on the East or West side of theroof cap.Step #2Position the saddle flat between two ribs(mounting tab with hole facing down the roof) asnear as the cap as possible so the saddle justtouches the two ribs with the upper corners. Markthe position of the hole in the lower mounting tabonto the roof sheet. Drill a vertical 1” (25mm) hole1-1/2” (38mm) up the roof from the mark. Finishoff the hole with the drill vertical since the cableneeds to hang vertical.Step #3Place saddle over the hole and feed the cablethrough the hole.Step #4With the cable held exactly vertical, screw in thetwo long self-tapping screws (1/4” x 3”) verticallydownward through the two holes in the ‘T’, thesaddle and into the roof sheet snugly. IF thescrew is difficult to start, give it a sharp blow witha hammer to make a dimple to start the hole.Step #5Install a self-tapping screw in the tab hole at thelower edge of the saddle to secure saddle to roofsheet. Install a self-tapping screw and washer justabove the tab at the top edge of the saddle tohold the saddle down. The washer overlaps theedge of the tab to hold in place.Step #1Step #2Proceed to Step #6.Steps #4 and #5Cable Head Must be Installed VerticalHead Vertical (GOOD)Head Perpendicular to Roof (BAD)Subject to change without notice 3Rev 2.2 2012/10/2
