How to Mount the MCU3106R5 Controller

This guide provides instructions for mounting the MCU3106R5 controller, including hardware identification and torque specifications. It also covers options for bayed configurations and alternative fixations.

Tools needed:

Torque wrench, Socket wrenches (8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 18mm/19mm for M12), Torx screwdriver (T25, T30 bits)

Supplies needed:

M12x20 bolts (A), M12 nuts (B), M8 nuts (C, D), M8x16 bolts (E), M6x12 bolts (F), 4.5x8 screws (G), M5x10 bolts (H), M6 nuts (J), Gaskets (K, L), CCI06 brackets (optional, for bayed variant), CNT05 fixation (optional, for alternative fixation)

  1. Prepare for MCU Mounting

    Identify the specific mounting hardware required based on the MCU width (e.g., components for MCU>=1000 wide). Gather all necessary bolts, nuts, screws, and gaskets as listed in the Ref. Pic. Qty. tables. Safety Warning: Ensure the gaskets (K, L) are correctly positioned outside the corner holes of the MCU unit.

  2. Secure the MCU using Primary Fixation Points

    Position the MCU in the desired mounting location. Install the M12x20 bolts (A) and M12 nuts (B), tightening them to a torque of 15-20Nm. Install the M8x16 bolts (E) and M8 nuts (C, D), tightening them to a torque of 8-10Nm. Install the M6x12 bolts (F) as indicated in the main diagram, applying a torque of 10-15Nm for the larger F and 4-5Nm for the smaller F. Install the M5x10 bolts (H), M6 nuts (J), and 4.5x8 screws (G), tightening them to a torque of 4-5Nm. Verify all primary fixation points are securely fastened to their specified torque values.

  3. Consider Bayed or Alternative Fixation (Optional)

    For Bayed Variant: If connecting multiple MCU units, order CCI06 brackets separately. Use T25 screws and 4.5x8 screws to attach the brackets, ensuring a stable connection between the units. For Alternative Fixation: If using the CNT05 alternative fixation, order CNT05 separately. Secure it using T25 screws and 4.5x8 screws, applying a torque of 4.5-5Nm.
