How to determine the number of chan-nel sections and/or mounting frames
required (The number and lengths of thechannels is always equal to that of theframes)Divide the total length of the channel run(in mm) by 1,600 – this gives the quantityfactor. The number (before the decimalpoint) denotes the number of 1,600 mm
long section units required. Depending onthe number after the decimal point, thereare four possible configurations: 1.) Number after the decimal point >5 : Order one extra 1,600 mm blank section >
Typical calculation examples:
Total length: 17,250 mm Divide by 1,600 mm = 10.78125 Thus, order quantity: 10 x 1,600 mm channelsections and 1 x 1,600 mm blank channel section (cut it to length) (if applicable, same
number of mounting frames in the case of flush-mounted version) Cut to length of 1,250
Cut to length of 1,550 2.) Number after the decimal point <5 : Instead of a 1,600 mm section, order one
800 mm section and one 1,600 mm blank
section 10 x 1,600 Total length: 16,750 mm Divide by 1,600 mm = 10.46875 Thus, order quantity: 9 x 1,600 mm channel sec-tions, 1 x 800 mm channel section and 1 x 1,600 mm blank channel section (cut it to length)(if applicable, same number of mounting frames in the case of flush-mounted version) 3.) Number after the decimal point =0 : No blank section, but order an additionalset of end pieces! 9 x 1,6001 x 800
10 x 1,600Set of end pieces
Set of end pieces9 x 1,6001 x 800 Total length: 16,000 mm Divide by 1,600 mm = 10.0 Thus, order quantity: 10 x 1,600 mm channel sec-tions and 1 x set of end pieces (if applicable, same number of mounting frames in the caseof flush-mounted version) 4.) Number after the decimal point =5 : No blank section, but order one 800 mmsection (instead of a 1,600 mm section)and an extra set of end piecesThe blank section is cut to length on site.It must not be shorter than 800 mm,otherwise proper fixing might be compro-
mised (hence the need to order an
800 mm section instead of a 1,600 mmsection in certain cases). Total length: 15,200 mm Divide by 1,600 mm = 9.5 Thus, order quantity: 9 x 1,600 mm channel sections,1 x 800 mm channel section and 1 x set of end pieces (if applicable, same number of
mounting frames as in the case of flush-mounted version) >
