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
arms 4 are configured for different swivel ranges:
Extension arm and The extension arms 4 with 1 end stop have a swivel range of approximately 330 degrees
spring arm with end stop as required for applications where the end device (e.g. flat screen, OR lamp, etc.) is pow-
(swivel range 330 degrees) ered via supply cables laid inside the extension arm 4 and the spring arm 5.
The end stops in the extension arm 4 and the spring arm 5 prevent these supply cables
being sheared off.
Extension arm and spring arm without end The extension arms 4 without end stop are suitable for applications where the end device
stop (unrestricted swivel range) (e.g. flat screen, OR lamp, etc.) is powered via internal plug couplings or where no internal
cables are required.
If equipped with an internal plug coupling, the extension arm 4 and the spring arm 5 can
be rotated without restriction.
Extension arm with optional comfort end stop In order to prevent the extension arm 4 with spring arm 5 hitting walls or other compo-
(swivel range adjustable in graduations nents, the swivel range of the extension arm 4 with comfort end stop can be reduced in
of 15 degrees) graduations of 15 degrees.
Spring arms If equipped with an end stop, the spring arm 5 can be rotated 360 degrees horizontally;
without an end stop, it can be rotated without restriction. The spring arm 5 can be moved
up and down.
Adaptions The approved Ondal adaptions serve as a support for holding approved end devices (e.g.
flat screen, OR lamp, etc.) from third-party manufacturers (see Chapter 16, “Approved On-
dal Adaptions”, page 87).
