5.1 Product Description


Canopy Since the points for connecting the electrical cables of the pendant system are located un-
(for ceiling-mounted version only) der the canopy 1, the canopy 1 may only be removed by specialist personnel autho-
rised by the operator.

Wall bearing Since the points for connecting the electrical cables of the pendant system are located in-
(for wall-mounted version only) side the wall bearing 1, the wall bearing 1 may only be removed by specialist personnel
authorised by the operator.

Ceiling tube The ceiling tube 2 compensates different ceiling heights in order to ensure that the end
(for ceiling-mounted version only) device (e.g. flat screen, OR lamp, etc.) is positioned at the working height desired.

Rotary canopy The internal cables supplying the end devices (e.g. flat screen, OR lamp, etc.) for the top
(for ceiling-mounted version only) extension arm 4 are laid in the rotating canopy 3 (VALiA S2 and S3 only).
The rotating canopy 3 may therefore only be removed by specialist personnel authorised
by the operator. The rotating canopy3 is only mounted if an upper extension arm with
end stop has been installed.

Extension arm Depending on the variant, the VALiA S Central Axes are equipped with 1 to 3 extension
arms 4 in different lengths (see Chapter 14, “Technical Data”, page 84).

Swivel ranges of the extension arms Depending on the end device (e.g. flat screen, OR lamp, etc.) mounted, the extension
