Overview

The nVent HOFFMAN Stainless Steel Floorpost with Junction Box (SKU: FLOORPOSTSS) delivers a robust floor-based mounting solution for the SYSPEND VHDS-Motion Arm system when wall or ceiling mounting is impractical. Constructed from durable Type 304 stainless steel, this 74-inch tall floorpost features a heavy-wall 3.5-inch OD structural tube welded to a 12 x 12 x 3/8-inch thick baseplate, ensuring exceptional stability in industrial environments. The integrated junction box serves as a pull box for power and network field wiring, including an internal CAT5 coupler and finger-safe power terminals for safe, streamlined connections. Two conduit knock-outs accommodate 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch conduit sizes, while the fully gasketed 16-gauge cover panel provides environmental protection and additional conduit attachment points. The molded ABS junction box contours to the post with fluting to protect cables. Ideal for production lines, control rooms, and critical operational areas where flexible HMI positioning is required.

How to Install the VL-Motion Arm

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and adjusting the VL-Motion Arm, ensuring proper functionality and safety.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, 1/8 inch Allen wrench, Spanner Wrench

Supplies needed:

Bronze Bushing, Flange Axle, Mounting screws

  1. Install the mounting end

    Remove the access cap and pass the Flange Axle through the plastic Bushing and the Arm. Install the bronze Bushing between the Arm and the Mount, then screw the Flange Axle into the Mount.

  2. Adjust the swivel friction

    Remove the locking set screws using a 1/8 inch Allen wrench. Loosen the inner set screw approximately 3 turns. Adjust the Flange Axle using the Spanner Wrench until the desired swivel friction is achieved. Re-tighten the inner set screws to 30 in-lbs.

  3. Adjust the counterbalance

    Lower the arm and insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the valve actuator hole. Gently move the screwdriver to release gas from the spring, reducing the counterbalance force. Test the adjustment by operating the arm and repeat as necessary.
