Instructions for mounting the current collector
◼
Lead the connecting cables straightly and with high flexibility in order to avoid deflection, pulling or pressing on the sliding
contacts or movement restrictions of the current collector (see Fig. 109 to Fig. 113).
◼
Use only highly flexible and double-insulated (for voltages > 48 V) Conductix-Wampfler connecting cables! In the event of repairs,
use a cable lug with shrink tubing for the flexible connecting cables (see Connection repair set, Order No.:
08-K154-0394).
◼
Do not bundle, fix or attach identification signs to the current collector connecting cable!
◼
Do not allow foreign objects to protrude into the moving range of the current collector and connecting cables!
◼
Choose foreign objects such as fastening screws in such a manner that the movement of cables and current collectors is not
affected.
◼
In systems with curves, the ideal mounting position for the current collectors is directly at the height of the wheel contact point
(in the pivot point or in the steering axis) of the guideways. When the positions and internal and external curves deviate too far,
the distances to the rail and thus the contact pressure change. In the worst case, the sliding contacts and conductor rail can
cause increased wear and tear to the point of damage to the system. Tolerances must be strictly maintained at the narrowest
points.

laying downward

connecting cable

joint of the current collector with a cable tie
