to the structure/substructure.
Before fixing and assembly of the DORMA LOOP, the spatial
(3D) axes of all fixing positions must be measured and
aligned in accordance with the installation drawing. All dis-
tances must lie within a tolerance range of ± 3 mm. All sig-
nificant system axes must be perpendicular to one another
within a range of ± 1.5°.
All axis measurements must be checked using appropriate
tools.
Assembly sequence
