Panelock System 400 Installation
The Panelock Display System 400 requires the
installation of a lightweight non-load bearing aluminium overhead guide track fixed to an
existing ceiling or soffit, if the height of a gallery is excessive a lightweight support
system is designed to lower the guide track to a suitable height, this installation can be
left in mill finish aluminium or painted to blend in with the existing finishes. The
design of the overhead guide track can accommodate suspended ceilings and support lighting
systems in addition to security cameras and VDUs which can be moved around the track
ensuring absolute security cover for each different exhibition layout.
The System 400
display panels are a simple, re-locatable, composite panel of aluminium / timber framework
usually faced both sides with 15 mm MDF boards and normally finished with white emulsion
or similar. Within each panel is a unique patented mechanism which incorporates
castor wheels, one each end of the panel, this mechanism is operated by a removable
key. At the head of the panel is a retractable seal which incorporates a mushroom
headed spigot.
During installation, the spigot is engaged in the
overhead guide track via special removable entry sections.
To operate the system, the removable operating key
is inserted into the operating key hole which is located at skirting level and turned from
a position of 2 O'clock to approximately 10 O'clock, the panel will rise from the floor on
the castor wheels, at the same time the retractable seal at the head of the panel closes
into the panel and the mechanism automatically locks the panel in this position ready for
moving. The operating key can now be removed. To relocate the panel, simply wheel
the panel along the floor in line with the track, the spigot which is engaged in the
overhead guide track ensures the panels stability.
When the panel has been repositioned and this
can be at any position through 360º to the track, the operating key is inserted at 10
O'clock and turned to 2 O'clock, the panel will now lower to the floor, at the same time
the retractable seal expands and thrusts to the underside of the overhead guide track,
locking the panel in its new display position firmly between floor and track.
