3 Rail System
The OT200 is designed to run on the OpeMed or approved other
supplier’s track. The track or rail should always be inspected
according to local legislation (e.g. in UK LOLER and EN ISO
10535 inspected every 6 months).!
3.1 XY or H System for Room Coverage
An XY rail system is a system where two rails are put, where a movable rail angles below will be hung
from the ceiling. The OT200 will charge at the end of the moving rail and the moving rail needs pushing
normally to the end of the fixed rail for charging to commence.
3.2 Turntable (Optional)
The system you have chosen might be supplied with a turntable, creating the possibility of running a
cassette along more than one rail. A turntable operates automatically and makes a quarter-turn to the left
or the right. A full turn is not possible.
Controlling the turntable is simple:"
• Place the cassette in the middle of the carousel.
• After approx. 2 seconds the turntable will beep will turn 90 degrees.
• Drive the cassette out of the turntable.
• If you do not want to make a turn but simply pass the turntable,
you should not stop the cassette in the carousel.
3.3 Gate (with X-Y Systems)
If your system uses a X-Y system with a transition to a fixed rail (room to room) then a “gate” is
placed where the rails join. This gate makes sure that the cassette cannot slide out of the rail when the
joints are not alligned. The gate automatically connects the rails and enables a smooth transition from a
mobile to a fixed rail. The OpeMed gate is very safe with an electrical and manual security system.
Travelling from fixed rail to X-Y system:
• Move the cassette through the gate toward the mobile rail.
• The rail will de-attach and can be moved.
Travelling from X-Y or H system to a fixed rail:
• Place the cassette in front of the gate.
• Place the rail with the cassette opposite to the other gate.
(keep moving slightly)
• The rails will connect and cannot be moved anymore. The guard will open and the cassette can be
moved through the gate.
3.4 Exchanger or Junction
This is a more cost effective solution to the turntable if only 3 exits are
required (or the track splits). Similar to the turntable the exchanger will
operate automatically if you pause the motor in the Exchanger for 2 seconds
or more. A sound will bleep and the exchanger junction will move to the
other track.
If you want to continue the OT200 without changing tracks simply do not stop when passing through the
Exchanger.
