SETUP
The cable protectors from the DEFENDER
®
series are easy and safe to set up. Surfaces, edges and corners are
designed in such a way that there is no danger of injury. Cable protectors with a weight up to 20 kg can be
transported safely by one person. Cable protectors weighing more than 20 kg can be transported safely by two
people.
Each cable protector has connectors and corresponding sockets that enable you to connect cable protectors in
the same series endlessly with one another. Generally, sections are stable enough to be walked on or driven over
without any additional precautions. To find the right cable protector for your respective requirements, please see
the attached detailed product description for the load-bearing capacity and use.
For the product versions DEFENDER
®
3 AND ULTRA L 2, special holes for floor anchoring are provided. If com-
plete sections from these product variants are exposed to increased requirements, so that there is a risk of the
section shifting during use, we recommend additionally anchoring the section to the ground or floor. Please note
that additional markings / hazard warnings or even permits may be required when using cable protectors on
public thoroughfares, walkways, etc.
The load-bearing capacity specified in the detailed descriptions is achieved only on level and solid ground.
Load-bearing capacity may be greatly reduced on uneven or soft ground. In such cases, you should conduct
appropriate load tests before using the protector. We guarantee the load-bearing capacity of our cable protectors
only with proper use of unmodified products on firm and level ground.
DEFENDER
®
cable protectors help protect pipes (e.g. water/sewage) and low voltage cables up to 500 V
(e.g. communication/control cables/power supply). The cable protectors are NOT suitable for rigid gas pipes.
When using fragile couplings and connectors within the connected section, make sure there is sufficient space
to either side and above. Each user is responsible for the manner of installation and selection of cables to be
protected with the help of the DEFENDER
®
cable protectors.
After installation (except for the COMPACT and OFFICE models), the lids can be opened by pulling them upward.
They snap into the open position automatically and stay open until you close them again, thus making it easier to
run your cables. After running your cables, close the lid. When doing so, make certain that the lid closure snaps
into the base securely. This is the only way to ensure that the lid stays closed under load.
