To correct a connection:
→
Loosen conductor rails to the left and right of the connector from the hanger clamps to permit cutting
→
Cut the conductor rails to the left and right of the connector using a suitable cutting tool
→
Deburr the cut edges
→
Fit a new connector and connector cap (see Fig. 33 - Fig. 38)

Replace a rail along the course
If a damage rail section is to be replaced along the course, the following work steps must be observed:
→
Disconnect the system from the power supply.
→
Measure the length of the section to be replaced and mark the cut point on the insulation profile.
→
Cut the replacement rail piece to size and deburr all cutting surfaces as well as chamfer the running surface.
→
Clip the rail left and right of the repair area out of the hanger clamps by ca. 2 m each and support if necessary.
→
Cut out the damaged rail section and deburr all cutting surfaces as well as chamfer the running surface.
→
Insert the connector pins into the “end of the old rail” section and fit the connector cap.
→
Fit the replacement rail piece into the connector pins and make connection (push rail on as far as possible and close connector
with a soft-face hammer).
→
Insert the connector pins into the “start of the old rail”.
→
Fit the connector cap onto the end of the replacement rail piece.
→
Connect the end of the replacement rail piece with the connector cap to the beginning of the section (insert the connector as
far as possible) (see Fig. 37).
→
Clip the rail into the hanger clamps (see Fig. 22 and Fig. 23).
→
Remove the end caps from the “end of the old rail”.
→
Close the gap at the connector point by using a soft-face hammer and the installation block at the end of the rail by striking the
end of the rail slightly (observe the connector pins with a second specialist who gives feedback to the person at the end of the
rail) (see Fig. 38). Drive the rail as far as it will go. A gap of 2.5 mm remains (see Fig. 33 - Fig. 37).
→
After the above described working steps have been carried out, the following must be checked:
→
Are the connection points closed?
→
Are the connector caps in position (correctly clipped into the insulation profile of the conductor rail)?
→
Are the rails correctly clipped into the hanger clamps?
