Installing The Transit Coupling - Invacare EC-Track Installation & Technical Description

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.

3.10.2 Installing the transit coupling

The coupling is delivered assembled with motor box,
fixtures for pendles and lock fixtures. The delivered transit
coupling is prepared so that the whole motor box is placed
in one of the two rooms after installation.
The motor box and lock fixtures, have to be placed as
the transit is delivered, to ensure functionality and safety.
Fixtures for pendles can be placed freely as long as it
complies with the construction of the system. See measure
sketch below.
It is very important that the thickness of the wall
is controlled in advance.

When installing the transit coupling it is very important
that the motor box is placed in the room where it was
intended when it was ordered, because the entire system
is constructed under consideration of where the motor
box is placed.
Installation with pendles is described in chapter 3.2.2
Concrete Ceiling with Suspended Ceiling, page 15.
See the measure sketch below for further information.
Installation of the transit coupling is only possible using
pendles. The coupling can therefore only be installed
where ceiling mounting is possible.
The best result is obtained in a concrete ceiling.
When installing in wooden ceilings, it is very important
that the traverse system and coupling are installed in a way
that they bend down equally and with minimum bending.
If it is necessary to strengthen the ceiling in a wooden
ceiling construction, make sure to strengthen with a
connected construction between rail system and transit
coupling.
Do not install the pendles in different rafters because this
way the coupling and traverse system will not bend down
equally and the coupling will not work correctly.
