Track assembly
Internal curve tracks
An inside curve track is one that runs around the
shortest side of the staircase such that the track
bends away from you when you look at the stairs.
An example of an inside curve track can be seen in
Appendix 5
.
The installation of an inside curve and outside curve
track is identical until very near to completion of the
installation. The additional steps that are required are
featured in the corresponding part of the installation
manual
(page 17)
.
Hinge track installations
A hinge track is a folding section of track that can be
moved away from the bottom of the stairs so that it
does not cause an obstruction or hazard.
Note:
See
Appendix 3
for hinge track settings.
1
The hinge track section must be installed before
the rest of the track.
a
Position the hinge track section in to the feet
with the back of each foot 60 mm from the
stringer or line of any obstruction, e.g. window
sill
(Figure 2)
.
b
Release the motor by pressing on the motor
release to allow the arm of the hinge to be
moved.
c
Lower the arm and position the hinge on
the treads correctly so that the track reaches
the floor.
d
The grey wire with a bullet connector must
be connected to all of the communication
contacts on the top track. In order to achieve
this connection you should:
i
Pull some grey cable from the hinge to the
first comms contact in the TOP tube.
ii
In the BOTTOM tube pull a red and a
grey cable from the first +ve charge contact
to the top of the stairs
(Figure 3)
. The
connection of these will be covered in the
Track Electrical Connection section.
