using a lathe center screw, which is screwed into the quick traverse
bracket from above until it has been screwed all the way down.
The traverse rail is partly between-hung
When the traverse rail is partly between-hung, the same mounting
principle is used as with under-hung traverse rail. Here, the rail
will be cut upon delivery, so that the quick traverse bracket may be
mounted to the rail's middle suspension point.
Remember before mounting the traverse rail to determine whether it
should be possible to mount the hoist trolley later or not.

3.9 Installation of track switches

The track switch is used where a change in direction is required
during movement of the patient. The track switch is manually
operated. By coupling of the track switch with both straight rails as
well as curved rails, different combinations can be obtained.
The track switch can only be used in combination with ceiling
installation and S-profile rails. The track switch is designed for
standard ceiling bracket.
During ordering or installation of the straight or curved single
rail system, it is important to bare in mind in which direction the
mounting dowels of the track switch are facing. Only one standard
track switch is available - refer to the illustration.
By installation in concrete ceiling, refer to chapter 3.2.1 Concrete
Ceiling, page 13 (standard brackets), and chapter 3.6.2 Rail coupling
for profile S, page 18.
A re-bore in the rails is performed when coupling the rails. This
re-bore is done in the track switch at delivery, and the necessary tube
pins are supplied. When installing the rails to the switch, remember
to tighten the pre-installed locking screws on the track switch - refer
to the illustration. In connection with installation of a track switch
onto different ceiling types or in combinations with pendles, contact
Invacare® for further information.
IMPORTANT!
– After installation, the functions of the track switch and
the fastening of the end stops must be inspected.

3.10 Transit coupling

The transit coupling is used in situations where transportation from
one room to another is required, using only one Robin motor. The
coupling is operated electrically.
The transit coupling can be installed in different rail system
combinations. The coupling can be used to connect either two
traverse systems or one traverse system and one single rail system.
The coupling is delivered with a standard length of 800 mm, and
can be used where the wall is, up to 170 mm thick. The coupling is
delivered with one control button, one power supply with 2 meters of
wire (which must be adjusted during installation), and a user manual.
If a transit coupling is needed in situations where the wall is
thicker than 170 mm, contact Invacare®.
When ordering the transit coupling, it is important to order lock
fixtures for the rails in both room 1 and 2. When coupling to a single
rail system, please see section 5.5 about Rail coupling. Pendles for
the installation are not delivered with the coupling. Order pendles
separately in required length for the coupling.
Recommended installation:
1. Transit coupling
2. Traverse system/single rail system
3. Positioning fixtures
4. End test – Function and load test

3.10.1 Adjusting the hole in the wall/door opening

CAUTION!
– Before making hole in wall, ensure wall is not load
bearing.
The hole must always be placed exactly in the center of the door
opening:
If it is required that only the rail
must pass through the wall, the
hole needs to be minimum 73
mm high and minimum 65 mm
wide.
The best result is obtained, if the transit coupling has been
taken into consideration in the very beginning of the house
construction. This way the door opening can be constructed
with the optimum lifting height.

3.10.2 Installing the transit coupling

The coupling is delivered assembled with motor box, fixtures for
pendles and lock fixtures. The delivered transit coupling is prepared
so that the whole motor box is placed in one of the two rooms after
installation.
If increased lifting height is
required, the hole must be
bigger.
For a hole height of more than
80 mm, the width has to be at
least 600 mm for the ceiling
hoist to pass through.
