The following describes the installation of the data transmission system step by step in a logical
sequence. Some steps may be carried out in parallel on site.
6.4.1
Installation of the Expansion Element
Depending on the system type, the installation of one or more expansion elements is necessary. The air gap in the expansion element
must be adjusted depending on the ambient temperature during installation. Both expansion joints of the expansion element must
have the same air gap.
The hanger clamps are designed as sliding suspension devices so that profiles can expand or
contract as the temperature changes. To this end, it is necessary to install defined anchor points
and expansion points. The expansion element performs the functions of both the anchor point
and the expansion point.
Starting from the left-hand end of the system, the first expansion element for the ProfiDAT
®
profile is installed. All other expansion
elements are mounted at intervals of at most 50 m. The exact positions of the expansion elements can be found in the system layout.
The anchor point of the expansion element points toward the left-hand end of the system.
