Mounting the Code Rail
7.3.6
Interruptions in the Profile Rail
In some applications, it is necessary to interrupt the course of the code rail, e.g., for crane
crossings, for fire protection gates, or for large expansion joints in buildings.
Caution!
Make sure that interruptions in the code rail are at least 85 mm and the two code rail parts are
aligned.
The maximum distance from one end of an aluminum profile rail to the next rail holder must not
be larger than 0.5 m.

Suspended Mounting with Stainless Steel Code Rail
If you want to mount the stainless steel code rail suspended, you have to secure the code rail
against falling down. This applies in particular when there are frequent changes in temperature.
For lengths up to 25 m, using the clamping fixture (see chapter 6.2) is sufficient.
For lengths beyond this, we recommend further securing the stainless steel code rail every 12
m with a self-tapping screw or a spring dowel pin in the aluminum profile.
Securing the Code Rail
1. Pierce the aluminum and the code rail from the side.
2. Screw a suitable self-tapping screw into the hole. Alternatively, you can use a suitable spring
dowel pin.
The self-tapping screw or spring dowel pin is not included in the product contents.
