Concrete Ceiling With Suspended Ceiling - Invacare EC-Track Robin Manuel De Maintenance

Invacare®EC-Track™
The end stop is mounted in both ends of the rail. The end stop is
pushed into the rail with the rubber plug first, and fastened initially
loosely with your fingers.
Lift up the rail, adjust the length of it and fasten it into all ceiling fittings.
Place the adjustable end stops correctly and tighten appropriately. It
is important that the end stop is placed so that the hoist does not
hit the wall.
For parallel rails in a traverse system, it is important that the end
stop is placed so that the traverse trolleys hit the end stop at the
same time.
Mounting with Standard Ceiling Bracket
The ceiling brackets are pushed onto the rail and distributed with
max. 2 m between each bracket and 200 mm from the last bracket
at the end of the rail. Use at least three brackets per rail. It is
recommended to use an uneven number of brackets, if only one
person is installing the rail. Thus, one bracket is placed on the center
creating balance when the rail is hung in the first bolt.
In at least one end of the rail, use a bracket with locking
screw to be secured to the rail.
1. Measure for the hole for the one expansion bolt of the center
bracket.
Drill the hole to a depth of approx. 80 mm with an 8 mm. impact
drill bit. The hole is deeper than the expansion bolt length to
facilitate dismounting later on. For dismounting, you can then
drive the bolt fully in instead of pulling it out.
2. Drive an expansion bolt M8x75 (e.g. Hilti HSA or equal) in,
leaving sufficient room for the bracket thickness (6 mm), the
locking washer (2 mm) and the nut (7 mm) plus a little allowance.
When you have driven in the bolt, remove the nut and the
washer.
3. Insert the hoist trolley in the rail. The trolley can be oriented
in both directions.
4. If you are installing the traverse trolley, make sure that it is
correctly oriented for the subsequent installation of the traverse
rail.
5. Install end stops at both ends of the rail. Insert the adjustable end
stops in the rail with the rubber plug side first and the steel plate
towards to the bottom of the rail. Finger tighten the screws.
6. Lift the rail in place, mount the washers and nuts and tighten
them lightly. Adjust the rail lengthwise and angle wise, and
tighten the nut.
7. Drill the hole for the bracket in the one end of the rail but on the
opposite side of the rail. Drive in the expansion bolt, make the
final adjustments and tighten.
Next, drill the remaining holes at one end of the bracket slot. If
the drill bit hits a reinforcement bar before the hole is (50 mm)
deep, simply drill at the other end of the slot. If the drill hits the
reinforcement bars again, move the bracket approx. 20-25 mm
along the rail. The bracket will then cover the failed holes.
If the hole depth is between 50-70 mm, use an extension
bolt M8x57.

8. Drive in the remaining expansion bolts, place the washers and
nuts and tighten.
9. Position the adjustable rail stops correctly and tighten. Make sure
to position the end stops so that the hoist does not hit the wall.
When installing parallel rail in a traverse system, be sure to
position the end stops at the exact same points to ensure that
the traverse trolley hit the end stops simultaneously.

3.2.2 Concrete Ceiling with Suspended Ceiling

For rooms with suspended ceilings which are difficult to dismount,
it is recommended to choose a solution with wall-mounted or wall
support mounted rails.
If the false ceiling can be easily removed or in case of a new mounting
of a fixed suspended ceiling, we recommend an installation with
lowering brackets for aesthetic reasons. For this solution, use the
lowest rail profile S.
Mounting with Pendling Brackets
In the case of ceiling mounting, it may often be necessary to pendle
the rail downward. This need may arise in the even of mounting in a
room with a suspended ceiling, where you have to pendle between
the original ceiling and the suspended ceiling, or if the ceiling is so
high that you have to pendle the rail down in order to ensure that the
hoist's lifting intervals are used as well as possible.
There are more possibilities when carrying out a mounting with
pendles:
A – Pendling using threaded rods and round spacer pipes, cut on-site
at the installation place. Mounting by using this method is described in
detail in this section.
B – Mounting using adjustable pendles. This pendle consists of an
upper and lower part. By pushing the upper part onto the outside of
the lower part, the adjustable pendle may cover a given interval. As
standard, a pendle can be supplied with the following intervals:
•
200 – 300 mm
•
280 – 460 mm
•
440 – 740 mm
When the correct pendle spacing has been determined in connection
with the assembly, the pendle is pulled out to this length, and fastened
with a screw. Then a hole is drilled all the way through to an M8x65
bolt to lock the pendle in the desired length.
The upper part of the pendle should be mounted in the ceiling as
described in chapters 3.2.1 Concrete Ceiling, page 13 and 3.2.3
Wooden Ceiling, page 15 as when mounting with standard bracket.
The lower part of the pendle should be attached to the final standard
ceiling fitting, as shown in the sketch below:
•
1. Pendle, upper part
•
2. Pendle underpart
•
3. Spacer pipe through lowered ceiling, Ø15
•
4. Standard ceiling bracket
•
5. Through locking bolt, M8x65
The pendle may also be supplied with predetermined dimensions,
avoiding adjustment on-site.
