3.4.1 Flexible busbar (RA-C1-7…)
The RA-C1-7… flexible busbar is keyed in order to prevent it from being con-
nected the wrong way around. More specifically, one of the busbar edges
has a tapered shape. The cable connector in all system components (ribbon
cable outgoers) is shaped accordingly. In other words, the flexible busbar
needs to be inserted in such a way that the tapered side will be on the oppo-
site side of the hinge of the opened cable connector.

3.4.1.1 Routing the flexible busbar
Unwind the flexible busbar, cut it to length, and route it as necessary.
There is an inscription on one side of the busbar that is designed to work as a
keying guide. A metric marker on the jacket aids with cutting to length.
Where the flexible busbar is not laid within cable ducts, secure it to the
ground with cable binders or cable clamps.

In areas in which mechanical damage is likely to occur, we
recommend laying the busbar in cable duct for protection.
