2. Install PVC Holders
PVC holders carry copper strips that the trolley
uses to get power and send and receive data.
These holders lie underneath the top surface of the
rail.
IMPORTANT!
•
Looking into the START END of the rail,
notches for the PVC holder and the stop groove
must be on the left side of the rail. See the
figure on page 2 for these items.
•
Each PVC holder has notch running along one
side of it. Ensure the notch is adjacent to the
stop groove in each rail.
Tools, Equipment, and Parts Required for
this Operation
•
PVC Holders (one per rail section)
•
Saw to cut PVC holder
•
M6 self-tapping screw.
Procedure
A. For first and last rail sections only.
- Cut PVC holder. Cut a PVC holder in half.
Then cut one of the halves 5cm shorter than
the other.
- Insert half PVC holder that is 5cm shorter.
With the notch in the side of the PVC holder
adjacent to the stop groove, insert the PVC
holder into the rail until it is 5cm (2in) from
the start end of the rail.
- Install self-tapping screw. Install a self-
tapping screw 5cm (2in) from the start end of
the rail (where shown) to prevent the trolley
from shifting the PVC holder out of the rail.
B. For all other rail sections.
With the notch in the side of the PVC holder
adjacent to the stop groove, slide the PVC
holder halfway into the rail.
Note: The other half of the holder will remain
outside the rail. This half will insert into the next
rail section.
3. Install Stirrups, Eyebolts, and
Jointing Plates
•
A stirrup is required to mount each section to
the threaded rod above.
•
Four jointing plates are required to attach it to
the previous rail section.
•
Eyebolts are attached in pairs to the top
grooves in the overall rail to attach “anti-sway”
cables, as required.
Tools, Equipment, and Parts Required for
this Operation
•
2.5m (8.2ft) rail sections
•
Stirrup (one per rail section)
•
Eyebolts for stabilization cables (as required)
•
Jointing plate and associated hardware
(four per rail section).
Procedure
A. Install stirrups.
Slide a stirrup along grooves in the top of the
each rail section until it reaches the middle of
the section.
CAUTION: Pull and wiggle the stirrup
to ensure it does not come out. If it
does, replace the stirrup, and send the
defective stirrup to Technical Support.
B. Install eyebolts for anti-sway cables.
Thread nuts on cable eyebolts. Then slide a pair
of eyebolt/nut assemblies into grooves in the
top of the appropriate rail sections, and move
them to positions determined for anti-sway
cables during planning (see “Anti-Sway Cable
Locations” on page 3). Tighten eyebolts to
secure them in place.
C. Prepare jointing plates (four per rail section).
Install the two large Allen screws in the outside
holes. Install the two smaller Allen screws in the
inside holes.
D. Install jointing plates.
1. Slide one of the four plates halfway into the
outer grooves of each rail section, and hand-
tighten its outside screw against the rail.
2. Slide the remaining plates all the way into
their grooves. Keep them loose.
