Mounting the Code Rail on a Straight Route

Mounting the Code Rail — Straight Route
1. Mount the mounting brackets at an offset of max. 1.25 m along the route on the substructure.
2. Align the mounting brackets.
3. Slide the code rail up to the stop in each bracket.
4. Tension the code rail by pulling gently on the free end.
5. Clamp the code rail securely into the bracket by tightening the two M6 x 12 hexagonal
screws.
Tightening torque:
For laminate code rail: max. 8 Nm
For stainless steel code rail: max. 5 Nm
When mounted correctly, the tensioning force on the brackets is so great that the code
rail can no longer be pulled out of the bracket.
