3. Setup and Installation

The FASP400PG Mounting Bracket is engineered for straightforward installation. Adhere to all local electrical codes and safety regulations during the installation process.

1. Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface (wall or trapeze) is structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the cable tray and its contents. Gather necessary tools, which may include a drill, appropriate fasteners for your mounting surface, and measuring equipment.
2. Positioning: Mark the desired location for the bracket on the wall or trapeze. Ensure proper alignment and spacing for multiple brackets if installing a longer run of cable tray.
3. Secure the Bracket: Fasten the FASP400PG bracket securely to the prepared surface using suitable anchors and screws (not included). Ensure the bracket is level and firmly attached to prevent movement.
4. Attach Wire Mesh Tray: Align the Cablofil wire mesh tray with the FAS style attachment points on the bracket. The patented design allows the tray to snap or interlock securely into place without the need for additional hardware like nuts and bolts. Verify that the tray is fully engaged and stable on the bracket.
5. Final Inspection: After installation, visually inspect all connections to ensure the bracket and cable tray are securely mounted and properly aligned.

4. Operating Instructions

The Legrand-Cablofil FASP400PG Mounting Bracket is a passive component designed to provide structural support for Cablofil wire mesh cable trays. Once correctly installed, no further operational steps are required. Its function is to securely hold the cable tray in place, allowing for organized cable routing.

5. Maintenance

Minimal maintenance is required for the FASP400PG Mounting Bracket. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued structural integrity.

• Periodic Inspection: Annually, or as required by environmental conditions, inspect the bracket and its fasteners for any signs of corrosion, damage, or loosening.
• Cleaning: If necessary, clean the bracket with a dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material finish.
• Damage: If any damage or significant corrosion is observed, the bracket should be replaced immediately to maintain safety and structural support.

6. Troubleshooting

Issues with the FASP400PG Mounting Bracket are typically related to installation or environmental factors.

• Bracket is Loose: Ensure that the fasteners used to secure the bracket to the wall or trapeze are appropriate for the mounting surface and are tightened correctly. Over time, fasteners may loosen and require re-tightening.
• Cable Tray Not Secure: Verify that the wire mesh tray is fully engaged with the FAS style attachment points on the bracket. Ensure no obstructions prevent a complete and secure connection.
• Corrosion: While made from durable material, prolonged exposure to harsh environments without proper protection can lead to corrosion. Inspect regularly and replace if structural integrity is compromised.
