The bottom edge of the Grid Holder must be < 300 mm [11.8 in] from the bottom of the Holder to the floor.

STRUCTURAL NOTES

• Methods of support for the steelwork that will permit attachment to structural steel or through bolts in concrete construction should be favored. Do not use concrete or masonry anchors in direct tension.
• All units that are wall mounted or wall supported are to be provided with supports where necessary. Wall supports are to be supplied and installed by the customer or his contractors. See plan for suggested locations.
• Control walls shall be constructed to minimum 2130mm (7′-0″) high.
• Dimensions are to finished surfaces of room.
• Customers contractor must provide all penetrations in post tension floors.
• Customers contractor must provide and install any non-standard anchoring. Documents for standard anchoring methods are included with GE equipment drawings for geographic areas that require such documentation.
• Customers contractor must provide and install hardware for “through the floor” anchoring and/or any bracing under access floors. This contractor must also provide floor drilling that cannot be completed because of an obstruction encountered while drilling by the GE installer such as rebar etc.
• It is the customer’s responsibility to perform any floor or wall penetrations that may be required. The customer is also responsible for ensuring that no subsurface utilities (e.g., electrical or any other form of wiring, conduits, piping, duct work or structural supports (i.e. post tension cables or rebar)) will interfere or come in contact with subsurface penetration operations (e.g. drilling and installation of anchors/screws) performed during the installation process. To ensure worker safety, GE installers will perform surface penetration operations only after the customer’s validation and completion of the “GE surface penetration permit”.
• Different anchor types are used to install the components of the system. Refer to Structural Requirements Section(s) of the Pre-Installation Manual for each anchor requirement.
• Refer to the Structural Requirements Section for the required minimum embedment.
• The ground surface must be flat and leveled, maximum tolerance for leveling is ±1.5 mm per 1 m (0.2 in per 10 feet). A grout pad provided by the contractor is required to meet this specification. The maximum pad thickness is 6.3 mm (0.25 in).

CEILING REQUIREMENTS

To allow installation of the stationary rail cross-members, clearance is required between the ends of the stationary rails and the walls. It is recommended that sprinkler heads not be placed between the stationary rails. All sprinkler heads should be mounted so they do not extend downward more than 6.35 mm [1/4 in] from the ceiling while in the ‘resting’ position. In addition, there should not be anything mounted in the ceiling (i.e. lights, A/C returns, etc) between the stationary rails. This is because the OTS longitudinal drive belt assembly is located on the movable bridge, approximately centered between the two stationary rails, and may come into contact with those ceiling-mounted items during normal use.

Stationary rails are designed for top (ceiling) mounting. Rails can be ordered and are supplied in the following sizes:

• 4115 mm [13 ft 6 in]
• 4420 mm [14 ft 6 in]
• 4724 mm [15 ft 6 in]
• 5030 mm [16 ft 6 in]
• 5334 mm [17 ft 6 in]
• 5640 mm [18 ft 6 in]
• 5791 mm [19 ft]

The choice of length depends on room size, configuration and the possible presence of obstructions.
