Installation Of The Transit Coupling; Adjustment Of Hole In The Wall/Door Opening - Invacare Robin Installation And Technical Manual

5.9 Installation of the Transit coupling

The transit coupling is used in situations where transportation from one room to another is required, using only
one Robin motor. The coupling is operated electrically.
The Transit coupling can be installed in different rail system combinations.
The coupling can be used to connect either two traverse systems or one traverse system and one mono-rail
system.
The coupling is delivered with a standard length of 800 mm, and can be used where the wall is, up to 170 mm thick.
The coupling is delivered with; one control button, one power supply with 2 metres of wire (which must be
adjusted during installation), and a user manual.
NB! If a transit coupling is needed in situations where the wall is thicker than 170 mm, please contact Invacare®.
When ordering the transit coupling, it is important to order lock fixtures for the rails in both room 1 and 2.
When coupling to a mono-rail system, please see section 5.5 about Rail coupling.
Pendles for the installation are not delivered with the coupling, please order pendles seperately in required length
for the coupling.
Recommended installation:
• Transit coupling
• Traverse system/Mono-rail system
• Positioning fixtures
• End test – Function and load test

5.9.1 Adjustment of hole in the wall/door opening

If it is required that only the rail must pass through the wall,
the hole needs to be minimum 73 mm high and minimum 65 mm wide.
The hole must always be placed exactly in the centre of the door opening.
See drawing.
If increased lifting height is required it might be necessary to
cut a bigger hole in the wall. If the hole has to be higher than 80 mm,
then the hole needs to have a width of 600 mm in order for the
ceiling hboist to pass through.
The hole must always be placed exactly in the centre of the door opening.
See drawing.
NB! The best result is obtained, if the transit coupling has been taken into consideration in the very beginning of
the house construction, this way the door opening can be constructed with the optimum lifting height.
