Item Specification/comment Drawing
End cap base
(anchor point) The conductor rail system must only be fitted with 1 end cap base at the start of the
system. The start of the conductor rail system is defined as the end of the conductor
rail with the section power feed.
The system's end section must not be fitted with an end cap base.
Fig. 11
Distances between the
hanger clamps From the beginning to the end of the conductor rail: ≤ 150 mm Fig. 12 ff.
Before and after connectors 150 – 400 mm
Between the hanger clamps located in front of and
behind connectors ≤ 800 mm
Connectors

Once fitted, connectors and connector caps cannot be removed again! This is why
the connectors must always be carefully aligned first before they are fitted. If they
need to be changed, please get in touch with Conductix-Wampfler before doing so.
See section 6.2.4
→
When using copper conductor bars, use copper-plated connectors.
→
When using steel conductor bars, use tin-coated connectors.
Connector caps

The connector caps have to be supported by the installation surface so as to be
able to withstand the contact force of the current collector.

The backs of the connector caps have to be level with the hanger clamps.
Fig. 35
Installation surface The installation surface has to be level. The area around the back of the conductor rail
must not feature any elements that protrude (e.g. screw heads) or edges.
Insulation The conductor rails must not be directly contacted by electrically conductive materials.
Minimum rail
segment length The individual rail segments must have a minimum length of 300 mm.
CAUTION!
Once fitted, connectors and connector caps cannot be removed again!
This is why the connector caps must always be carefully aligned first before they are fitted. If they need
to be changed, please get in touch with Conductix-Wampfler before doing so.
See section 6.2.4
6.2.4 Separating connected elements
If the installers forgot to fit e.g. a connector cap during installation or if a connector was fitted wrong, the wrong connector has to be
cut out and a new connection has to be created.
