Ahrend 500 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 31

The user and the wiring
Users may themselves sometimes want to change some
aspect of the wiring of their Ahrend 500 workstation.
For example plug an item of equipment into a socket or
unplug it, or conceal surplus lengths of cable tidily.
Safety
Safety must be the prime concern in the wiring of
a workstation. For this reason, every component that
comes into contact with wires and cables has rounded
edges and the item of furniture can be earthed as a
whole.
Accidents caused by tripping over cables and flexes on
the floor can be prevented by concealing the cables in
the facilities specifically provided by the Ahrend 500
range.
Concealed cables make the workstation safer, it looks
much tidier and it is easier to clean.

Connections
Your workstation can be fitted with connections to the
power supply and to computer networks in a variety of
ways:
– Sockets can be mounted directly on the support beam
(fig. 1).
– One or more cable dumps can be suspended under the
workstation (fig. 2). In that case, the workstation
hardware is plugged into sockets in these dumps, and
you can also conceal excess cable in them.
In bench models, sockets that allow equipment brought
by the user, such as laptops and mobile phone chargers,
to be connected to the mains and/or a communication
network can be mounted in the central organiser zone
(fig.5). Flexi-panels are cut away at the bottom to pro-
vide room for these sockets (fig.6).
Be very careful to keep fluids (drinks, water from plant
pots) away from these built-in sockets!
Surplus lengths of cable can be
bundled between cable clamps.
English
Surplus lengths of cable can also
be suspended in the hooks of work
surface guides.
