1. Preface
This installation manual is intended as a guide when planning and carrying out the installation of a EC-TrackTM rail
system.
2. General
2.1 Installation
All installations must comply with the national rules and standards. Use only approved installation components
At every point of suspension, the roof/ceiling structure must be able to absorb a load of at least 300 kg.
Before mounting a rail system, the roof, walls, and floor must be examined carefully. In connection with the
examination, the exact materials involved in the roof and walls shall be determined. This examination must only be
carried out by a trained professional. The rail system must be mounted only by authorized personnel.
In accordance with the European standard EN 10535, the system shall be stress tested with 300 kg. This should
be done at each fixing point. This test is to be carried out as a testing of the substratum’s ability to keep the rail
system in place. This test shall be carried out by an authorised Invacare® service mechanic.
2.2 Warranty
There is a 3 year warranty on the EC-TrackTM rail system and RobinTM .

3. The rail system EC-TrackTM
3.1 Mono-rail system, straight rails & curves
A mono-rail system is suited for cases when a specific number of lifting places is required in the room.
A mono-rail system consists of at least one straight rail. This rail may be mounted parallel to the walls or diagonally
in the room. The rail system can be optionally extended with curves with angles of 30°, 45°, 60°
and 90°.
The rail system can be installed on the wall or the ceiling.
With a mono-rail system it is possible to hide the installation in the ceiling so that only the opening of the rail is
visible.
3.2 Traverse system
A traverse system is suited for cases when an unlimited number of lifting places is required in the room.
A traverse system consists of two parallel rails mounted on the ceiling or the wall. In each parallel rail, a traverse
trolley is inserted witch can travel the full length of the parallel rails, from end stop to end stop. Across the parallel
rails a traverse rail is mounted to the two traverse trolleys. This installation can be carried out in different ways, as
shown in the illustrations in section 3.3. With a hoist trolley inserted in the traverse rail, the hoist can travel the
full length of the traverse rail.
The system permits an unlimited number of lifting places.

3.4 Room transfer
3.4.1 Room transfer with 2 hoists
Room transfer can be done by using two Robin hoists; one in each room. To ease this operation, an Invacare
room-to-room trolley is used.
Room transfer is possible in both single- or room covering installations. It is important that the rails are located
as close to the doorway as possible. When installing a room covering rail system intended for room transfer, the
traverse rail must be installed perpendicular to the wall with the doorway. The distance between the two end stop
buffers must not exceed 60 cm. To obtain the best possible result during room transfer, there must be a minimum
distance of 185 cm between the floor and the underside of the hoist. This must be kept in mind during installation
of the rail system.
3.4.2 Room transfer with coupling
As an alternative the room transfer can be achieved (remove by) an installated transit coupling.
The coupling can be used to connect either two traverse systems or one traverse system and one mono-rail
system.
The coupling is operated electrically by a control button mounted on the wall.
The coupling is delivered with a standard length of 800 mm.
For further information see section 4.14 and 5.9.

If the rails are mounted to a wall, the end stop is to be placed
so far into the rail that the hoist does not hit the wall
(see installation instructions).
In some countries/local areas there is a demand for double
securing of the end stops. Such extra securing can be acheived
by installing one of the following:
• Bufab MRX M5x16mm thread forming screw 10mm from
each end of the rail, 25mm from the rail underside
(the screw can be installed in a pre-drilled hole Ø4,3mm).
