2.1 Technical data
Configuration (Base Unit +
Extension Units) view from
above
Width (WK) = number of 400 units
x grid width/depth 400 + number
of the 800 units x grid width/depth
800 + 35 mm (at least 835 mm)
Depth (DK) = number of 400 units
x grid depth/width 400 + number
of 800 units x grid depth/width
800 + 35 mm (at least 435 mm)
Calculation example 1:
WK= (0 · 400) + (3 · 800) + 35
mm = 2435 mm
DK= (2 · 400) + (0 · 800) + 35
mm = 835 mm
Calculation example 2:
WK= (2 · 400) + (1 · 800) + 35
mm = 1635 mm
DK= (1· 400) + (1· 800) + 35 mm
= 1235 mm
