PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

The  H100  is  an  all-round,  multifunctional  and  budget-friendly  rail  system  for 
medium-heavy  to  heavy  curtains  which  can  be  controlled  manually,  by  rope  or 
electrically.  The  system  is  compatible  with  our  RTD  motor  range  and  can  be 
controlled  by the  DMX  communication protocol. It is  the ideal track  for  television 
studios and medium-sized venues or theatres. 

RTD or Rope Track Drivers are a range of motors provided by ShowTex. They can be 
used to electronically control the movement of the curtain.  

Beware, this manual only covers the rope-controlled H100 rail system. 

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

Do  not  exceed  the  maximum  carrying  capacity  of  the  track  and  its 
components.  Be  sure  to  check  if  the  capacity  of  the  suspension  points 
corresponds to  the weight of the  track and  the items to  be suspended 

from the track. 

 

The maximum distance between each suspension point should be 1,5 m. Allow for 
extra points in the curtain storage area to support the extra weight of the curtain 
when  gathered  together.  Be  sure  to  read  the  technical  specifications  chapter  for 
more detailed information. 

Do not allow any item to be operated or used when in doubt about the safety or 
good working order to avoid accidents and injuries. Most accidents are the result of 
lack of training, carelessness and overconfidence, do not assume anything. 

Do not use this rail system for any other purpose than hanging and moving stage 
curtains or light-weight decorative elements. 

Only combine this rail system with parts and accessories from the ShowTex curtain 
track range. 

Disassembly must be carried out under the same conditions and following the same 
steps as assembly. Remove all curtains or other suspended items before removing 
tracks from their permanent location. Disconnect all parts before removing tracks. 
Never remove in one piece.
