Mounting the joint plate

To avoid transverse bending at higher loads, a joint plate must be used
in the joint area of the cable trays to be connected for tray widths of 400
mm or more. Up to a tray width of 300 mm, the mounting of the joint
plate is optional. The joint plate is mounted after the connectors have
been mounted. The joint plate is fastened with FRS M6 truss-head bolts
and combination nuts.
Fig 13: Mounting the joint plate
1. Place the joint plate centrally on the joint area of the cable trays.
2. Screw on the joint plate.

Applying the edge protection strip

To avoid damage to cables, the edge protection strip is attached at cut
edges of cable trays, if no joint plates or floor end plates are mounted.
Fig 14: Applying the edge protection strip
1. Cut the edge protection strip to size.
2. Clamp the edge protection strip to the edge of the cable tray.
