Fitting Information
. Deciding the best position
Points to consider when planning your installation
The system Silent Gliss 5090 may trigger some types
of burglar alarm. This may usually be remedied by
relocation of, or a change of burglar alarm sensor. If in
doubt, consult your burglar alarm supplier.
It may be easiest to have the power supply on the
same side of the window as the nearest plug socket.
You might choose to position the power supply so that
it is not visible and not touchable.
The transformer should not be placed where there is a
risk of condensation dripping onto it from a window sill
or used in damp environments such as bathrooms.
When xing avoid any hidden cabling in wall. If in doubt consult a
qualied electrician.
Tools for xing
Your system track is ready assembled for easy xing. Your track pack
contains everything you need to x the track to a wooden batten. If
xing directly to a wall or ceiling, appropriate xings; e.g. wall plugs will
also be needed.
