EN 4Installation
4.1Pre-installation
Check the unit for any transport damage. In case of
damage or missing parts, notify the carrier and your
local Nederman representative immediately.
See Figure2 and Figure3.
NOTE!
• On some markets the exhaust pipe is pos-
tioned on the right side of the vehicle, seen in
the forward driving directIon.
• The nozzle for high level (HL) exhaust pipes
must be installed at a higher level than the
exhaust pipe. The nozzle must be pulled
downwards at connection, which will activ-
ate the balancer.
Before MagnaTrack HS can be installed, a suitable po-
sition must be determined in relation to the vehicle’s
parking space in the station.
The distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the
rail should normally be 3–5 m (10–16 ft). The rail is to
be installed at least 0.3 m (1 ft) from walls, pillars etc.
The distance from the rail’s leading edge to the sta-
tion door should be as short as possible. Make sure the
door can open freely without interference to the rail.
If MagnaTrack HS is to be used between two vehicles,
the distance between the vehicles must be at least
0.6 m (24 in).
The entire system should be protected against rain.
When the horizontal hose is fully compressed, its
length is approximatelly 16 % of the rail's total length.
The distance A must not be less than shown in the
table.
Rail length 3.5 m (11.5 ft) 5.9 m (19.4 ft)
A min. 0.6 m (2 ft) 1.0 m (3.3 ft)
Rail length 9.5 m (31.2 ft) 11.8 m (38.7 ft)
A min. 1.5 m (5 ft) 1.9 m (6.3 ft)
Rail length 15.3 m (50.2 ft) 17.7 m (58.1 ft)
A min. 2.5 m (8.3 ft) 2.8 m (9.3 ft)
WARNING!Risk of personal injur
When mounting MagnaTrack HS, check that
the system will not snag protruding parts on
the vehicle when driving in or out.
4.2Rail, trolle , hose and cable
See Figure4.
• Fasten the mounting chains, approximately 2,4 m (8
ft) apart, in every other profile. Place all the rail pro-
files in line with each other on the floor, as shown
in the figure. Screw the profiles together with the
lengthening joints.
See Figure5.
The entire guide rail can be mounted with a slight fall:
50 - 100 mm (2 - 4 in) is recommended per 6 m (20 ft)
length (the lowest point to be at the station door end
of the track).
When mounting the rail, ensure that suitable fixing
bolts are used considering the ceiling construction
material and the traction forces in the suspension
points.
• Lift the whole rail and fit it in the ceiling. The mount-
ing devices are to be fixed in bars, brackets or similar
arrangements according to the examples. The first
and the last mounting bracket should be braced,
see items 1 and 2. All mounting brackets are to be
braced with bracing bars positioned sideways ac-
cording to item 3 or 4.
See Figure6.
1 Fit the adaptor at the back edge of the rail.
2 Fit the connection box.
See Figure7.
NOTE!
The hose must be inserted in the right direc-
tion. The cables are equipped with cable clips in
one end of the hose according to the figure.
1 Suspend the hose by threading the carriers into
the guide track. Make sure the carriers are cor-
rectly fitted according to the figure. Also check
that they are free running so they do not snag in
the guide rail joints.
2 Connect the cable (item X) to the connection box
and the earth cable (item Y) to the adaptor.
See Figure8.
1 Use suitable lifting equipment to lift the trolley.
Roll the trolley in to the guide track. Connect the
horizontal hose.
2 Connect the cable (item X) to the disconnection
box and the earth cable (item Y) to the 90°-elbow.
See Figure9.
1 Fit the disconnection magnet on the front part of
the guide track and on the same side as the dis-
connection box on the trolley. The exact distance
of the disconnection magnet from the front edge
of the guide track must be checked according to
Section4.6Installation checklist.
2 Fit the fixing plate with the shock absorber in the
front edge of the rail.
3 Connect 110/220 V AC to the connection box fit-
ted on the back edge of the rail.
