4-fold monitor mount for bar attachment in refit projects

Passenger information is a must in public transport – but retrofitting is often a challenge for operators due to limited space or difficult viewing angles from the seats. To make the installation of monitors for refit projects particularly easy, FELA now offers a flexible concept for a gondola for 4 TFT monitors.

Flexible mounting concept for passenger information

Originally developed for a refit project in regional trains, this concept has now also made it into FELA’s standard portfolio: the 21.5″-V gondola offers space for four TFT monitors and enables easy installation thanks to its mechanical design and low weight.

This concept is particularly interesting for refit projects, as the mount uses the existing support bars in the passenger compartment and thus offers a quick and cost-effective alternative to highly customized solutions for almost all vehicle models, whether streetcar or train.

As standard, three holes are provided for three different positions, depending on the distance between the grab rails. However, if the distance differs, the solution can be customized without great effort.

By making clever use of the existing support bars and positioning them in the center of the passenger compartment with an appropriate angle of inclination, the required visibility guidelines for the monitors can be easily met. If additional monitors are required on partition walls or passenger passageways, FELA offers an equally flexible and easy-to-maintain 2-way mounting system.

The arrangement of the two mirrored panels and a cable duct in the middle allow the installation of the gondola and connection to the cabling even before the monitors have to be mounted. The lightweight aluminum gondola, which weighs only 22 kg, is attached to the ceiling first, and the TFT monitors are connected and installed in a second step, which makes installation much easier than with conventional solutions.

The robust 21.5″ TFT panel mount monitors from FELA, which were specially developed for use in the railroad, are perfectly matched to the mechanical concept of the mounts, providing a well thought-out all-round package for retrofitting a passenger information system.
