Indicates important information or assistance. Intended use The BKRS cable tray systems are used as walkable cable trays. The conveyor system trays are not walkable. Both types of trays are used to install and protect power and data cables in industrial areas.
Observe the following general safety information: – Protective gloves must be worn during all mechanical mounting work. – The BKRS walkable cable tray systems must be included in the pro- tection measures and/or the equipotential bonding. – The inclusion in the equipotential bonding of the overall system must be performed by specialist personnel.

Maintenance Maintenance The stability and function of the BKRS walkable cable tray systems and the conveyor system trays can be impaired by external influences, such as damage or machine vibrations. Loose connection elements must be retightened and damaged parts replaced. In addition, we recommend regular checks to see if the con- nection to the overall equipotential bonding is still intact.
