Invacare EC-Track, Installation & Technical Description

Invacare® EC-Track®
• Beam layer.
• Under roof/ceiling.
• Ceiling bracket, 1 pcs.
• Locking nuts M10, 2 pcs.
• Washer, 2 pcs. 11x35x2.
In some cases, installation with passing screws may be an
alternative to wall or wall support installation.
This requires that the roof beam layer can be accessed
from above. This is often the case in one-storied houses.
To reinforce the roof beam layer, exchanges of 45x95 mm
are placed edgeways.
Instead of the expansion bolts, a M10 threaded rod of
appropriate length is used. An installation plate (yoke
rests on top of the braces.
The exchange must rest on the roof beams on both sides
of the suspension. If this is not possible, the exchange
must be secured to prevent them from tilting when loaded.
The minimum number of three mounting points per rail
for concrete ceiling does not apply to wooden ceilings.
Here, the max. free span determines the number of
mounting points.
The rest of the installation process is similar to the process
for concrete ceilings. It is, however, necessary to drill
both holes for the center bracket (the standard bracket at
the same time.
Cut the threaded rods to appropriate length and attach
the washers and M10 nuts locking nuts.
The threaded rods are to be screwed from below and up
through the yoke. The yoke is fastened from above to the
exchanges with nails and screws.
Before the rail is fastened to the ceiling, which is done
from above, you should double-check that the exchange
wood is resting on two ceiling beams. If not, something
should be placed between.
Be careful when tightening the nuts to prevent damage to
the suspended ceiling.
3.3 Wall installation – end hung rail
The following are recommendations only. Alternatively,
expansion bolts with the similar thickness and quality can
be applied. Always follow the recommendations from
your supplier.
For freely suspended installation, the end of the rails
may be attached to the wall with wall brackets or wall
support. Choose wall support, if you are in doubt of
the load bearing capacity of the wall material. When
installing freely suspended rails, the max. rail length must
be observed, depending on the selected rail profile. The
distance between the walls must be max. 2 m for rail
profile S , 4 m for rail p rofile M an d 8 m fo r ra il profile L.
If you need to mount or dismount a hoist trolley after
installation, the distance from one wall to the rail must
be at least 160 mm. At secondary installation of Robin
Mover, the distance must be minimum 300 mm. If you
need to mount or dismount the traverse trolley after
installation, the distance between the one wall and the rail
must be at least 350 mm. (Minimum distance from rail to
wall must always be 60 mm. If you have a wall-mounted
rail profile S , y ou c annot m ount o r d ismount t he trolley
after installation.
3.3.1 Rail profile M and L
When installing wall brackets or wall support legs, leave a
gap from the ceiling to the upper edge of the wall bracket
or floor support. The gap should be at least:
• 80 mm for rail profile M
• 150 mm for rail profile L
When using wall support legs, cut the support leg profile
to an appropriate length at the floor end.
Remember to make allowance for the floor support
foot.
In case of skirting boards, either use the high wall support
foot, or cut away the skirting board.
Always install wall support legs right at the wall in their
full length.
Mark for holes using a level, and drill the holes.
Concrete wall
When mounting a freely hanging rail into a concrete wall,
a wall bracket should be used for mounting.
For mounting, we recommend using either expansion bolts
M10x68 (e.g. Hilti HSA or equal), drilling depth min. 60
mm, Ø10, or adhesive mortar (e.g. Hilti HIT-HY 150 and
HAS M10 or equal), drilling depth min. 95 mm, Ø12 (when
mounted in wet rooms, use stainless steel HAS quality
A4-70).
Brick wall
When mounting into bricks, ordinary wall brackets should
be used. However, we recommend using floor supports if
the brick wall is very porous.
For mounting into massive bricks, we recommend using
adhesive mortar (e.g. Hilti HIT-HY 50 and HAS M10 or
equal), drilling depth min. 90 mm in ½ brick and 170 mm
in 1/1 brick, Ø12., (when mounted in wet rooms, use
stainless steel HAS quality A4-70).
For mounting in hollow bricks, we recommend using either
a frame sheer connector (e.g. Hilti HRDUGT or equal),
drilling depth min. 80 mm, Ø10, or adhesive mortar (e.g.
Hilti HIT-HY 20, and HAS M10 or equal), drilling depth min.
95 mm, Ø16.
For mounting into porous brickwork, we recommend using
adhesive mortar (e.g. Hilti HIT-HY 50 and HAS M10 or
equal), drilling depth min. 90 mm in ½ brick and 170
