11.2: If installing or replacing collectors on an existing collector mounting post, with the horizontal
centerline of the existing post 3.50” to 4.50” from the running surface of the conductor bar, an
extension bracket must be installed with the collector.
11.2.(a):
Slide the collector onto the mounting post until it is directly under the conductor it will
run in.
NOTE: When mounting tandem collectors, be sure each collector shoe is matched to the
appropriate conductor.
11.2.(b):
Tighten each bolt until the collector is firmly in place on the mounting post (10 lbs.ft.).
Note: The size of the mounting posts may vary – if the extension bracket does not tighten firmly
against the mounting post after the bolts are tightened, remove the bolt from above the post,
remove the spacer washer, replace the bolt and re-tighten.
11.2.(c):
Termination of the collector leads should be in accordance with NEC and local electrical
standards.
If replacing a single existing collector that is not on the outermost side of the mounting post, it is
recommended that the existing collectors are loosened and removed so the new collector can be slid on
over the mounting post.
