INSTRUCTIONS AND THE ILLUSTRATIONS COVERING THE SPECIFIC INSTRUMENT TO BE MOUNTED SHOULD
BE REVIEWED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF THE WALL CHANNEL.
It shall be the responsibility of the hospital, its consultants and/or contractors to determine that the wall is adequate to
safely mount instrumentation. This includes the selection of appropriate fasteners and the proper installation of the same.
In new construction and remodeling work where the wall covering can be entirely or partly removed, a 16 gauge steel stud
should be located for the purpose of attaching the wall channel. The following is provided as guideline information only.
LOCATING THE WALL CHANNEL:
Generally, the bottom edge of a 19 inch (48.26 CM) Wall Channel is placed 56 inches (142.24 CM) above the floor, plus
or minus 4 inches. Devices may require lower channel placement. The bottom of the device will be 4-1/2 inches (10.16
CM) above the bottom of the channel (6-1/2 inches (16.51 CM) when using 15 inch (38.10 CM) support arm with a
diagonal brace) with the Arm at its lowest position. Access to device controls should be considered before mounting the
wall channel.
Allow clearance on either side of the channel centerline to clear objects such as over-bed lighting, privacy curtains,
adjacent walls or columns, door swing arcs, etc. Power and signal outlets should be considered when selecting a channel
location. Avoid oxygen, vacuum and air outlets and space for attendant flow meters and regulators. Do not place any
portion of the device over a patient bed.
DRYWALL (GYPSUM BOARD) OVER 16 GAUGE SHEET METAL OR WOOD STUDS:
The Wall Channel must be anchored into the stud.
Locate the exact centerline of the stud. Drive a #4 finishing nail through the drywall to contact the stud. Withdraw and
drive again 3/8" (9.52 mm) right and left until the edges of the stud have been located and hence the centerline
determined. The wall channel's 4 inch (10.16 CM) width will cover these exploratory holes.
Drill 11/64" (17 mm) diameter holes for #12 X 2-3/4" high tensile Philips head screws in a single 16 gauge stud through
channel centerline, (4 places). Install the top screw and level the channel, then mark and drill the other holes.
DRYWALL (GYPSUM BOARD) OVER SHEET METAL STUDS LESS THAN 16 GAUGE:
The Wall Channel must be anchored into the stud.
Locate the centerline of the stud per the above instructions. Use ¼-20 X 3" pan head machine screws and toggle wings.
Drill 11/16" diameter holes with a sharp speed bore or twist drill (requires pilot hole). Note that the round stop at the
bottom of the channel goes over the shank of the bottom screw. Insert screws through Wall Channel holes then affix the
toggle wings to the screws. Insert toggle wings into previously drilled holes. Use a level to make sure the channel is
vertical prior to final seating of the screws.
THE MAXIMUM LOAD RATING FOR THIS SYSTEM IS 80 lbs. / 36 Kg
(VB SERIES PRODUCTS) OR 110 lbs. / 50 Kg (FT SERIES PRODUCTS)
