SMGM SYSTEM

Coupler distance - non-fed segments
This situation exists if, e.g., there is a non-fed switch in the system.

TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS!
Information on the static case (standard)
In the static case (no movement), the distance of the mobile couplers to each other
must be
D
≥
l
s,x
+ 321mm +2* x
Ls
If the case is dynamic, (participants are moving), an additional distance factor has to be taken into consider-
ation. To do that, comply with the chart on the coupler clearance distances.
