What is the maximum acceptable ground slope for installation when selecting a site for the BPU?

The maximum acceptable ground slope for the installation of a BPU (a Base Plate Unit) is +/- 8°. This specification is crucial because excessive slopes can affect the stability and performance of the equipment. If the slope exceeds this limit, it may lead to improper alignment, potential operational issues, and safety hazards. Keeping the ground slope within the +/- 8° range helps ensure that the unit remains leveled, thus optimizing its functionality and preventing potential damage due to instability.

In contrast, slopes beyond this range may create challenges in maintaining the correct orientation of the equipment, which could adversely impact various operational parameters, leading to inefficiencies or failures. Therefore, adhering to the +/- 8° guideline is critical for the successful installation and ongoing performance of the BPU.
