Installing Media Feeds and Expansion Modules 

Always install feed next to a fastening point, so that expansion movements cannot be transmitted to the connection 
lines. 

6.5

 

Installing Expansion Elements in Existing Systems 

For existing systems, single-pole expansion elements are used that are installed at each pole in the segment like a 
connection point.  

 

During installation, fasten the expansion elements into the expansion points using the adjustment aids  
(see chapter 7) 

The adjustment aid prevents pushing together during installation of the next section and must be removed after  
installation.
