5.9.4 Installation of traverse system with lock fixture for transit coupling
In general a traverse system is installed as shown in subject 5.7
We recommend that the parallel rail of the traverse system is mounted in the ceiling in order to make the function
of the transit coupling as stable as possible.
When installing the parallel rail remember always to place a ceiling bracket/pendle in front of the transit coupling,
especially on the rail closest to the transit coupling. See section 5.9.6.
When the parallel rail is mounted, it is important to ensure a correct distance to the coupling. See drawing.
The traverse rail is adjusted to the specific order when it is delivered, if however it is necessary to shorten the rail
further, it must be shortened in the end opposite to where the coupling is situated.
It is possible to use the following traverse rails together with a transit coupling system:
• S, M and L- profiles, under-hung
• M and L- profiles partly between-hung
It is very important to ensure the correct free overhang for the traverse rail spacing between the pendles and free
span from the rails to ensure that the rails can couple correctly. See drawing above.
When the traverse system and the coupling are installed it is very important to control the height between these
and adjust if necessary.
The lower edge of the traverse rail must not differ more than 0,5 mm from the coupling rail, if there is a difference
in height, it has to be the coupling track must be the lowest.
It may be necessary to adjust the height differently according to the users weight or the condition of the ceiling, to
optimize the function of the coupling.
When the lock fixtures are installed, it is very important that they
are in line with the end of the traverse rail and that they are turned
correctly compared to the the fixture on the coupling, before they are locked.
See drawing.
Lock fixtures for M-/ and L-profiles are delivered with a little plate,
which is important to install.
5.9.5 Installation of a mono-rail rail for a coupling system
When the coupling is installed with a mono-rail rail in one of the rooms, it is prepared for this, without the lock
fixture, when delivered.
When the coupling is installed with an S-profile rail, the rail is coupled as shown in section 5.5.
The pendle is mounted in the coupling fixture.
The rest of the mono-rail system is installed as shown in section 5.2 and 5.5.
