Fig. 10: Infeed antenna for funnel
Infeed antenna (infeed unit) with cable
The feed-in antenna is installed at the end of the system (end infeed). It
is used to feed data signals in and out.
System lengths up to 250 m are possible with end infeed.
There are two types of antennas:
Antenna screwed to the profile
Antenna for funnels, attached to the profile with a connector
At the end of the ProfiDAT
®
section, there is a terminating element with a
terminating resistance that attenuates the signal to the point that no
interference emissions are produced for other equipment in the vicinity of
the data transmission system.
Fig. 11: Expansion element
Expansion element
The expansion element connects two ProfiDAT
®
profiles together,
compensating for changes in the length of profiles due to temperature
fluctuations.
The expansion element is fastened to the ProfiDAT
®
profile using PE rail
connectors as well as by screws to the load-bearing profile. A flexible
cable transmits the data signal between the two antennas.
The expansion element can also be used as a section infeed. This al-
lows system lengths of 500 m to be achieved. Segmentation makes the
system expandable (see chapter 6.4.8.2).
Fig. 12: Entry funnel
Entry funnel
The entry funnel is installed at the drive-in zone. The entry funnel guides
the current collector onto the conductor rail.
The entry funnel can only be used in systems with the slot facing down.
