Existing wall construction and reinforcement:
All wall mounts must be capable of supporting four times the specified
weight capacity after they have been properly installed. To provide this
support in plaster, plasterboard, or gypsum board walls, the wall covering
must be removed in the area of work and a reinforcement must be
provided within the wall structure, as shown in the installation diagrams,
for the purpose of attaching the wall channel.
Do not install a wall channel onto solid brick or brick veneer walls, or
onto crumbly wall material such as cinder blocks or deteriorated concrete
or concrete block.
Ensure that no electrical wiring, piping, or other utilities within the wall
interfere with or can be damaged by the wall channel installation process.
F?astenings:
Lead expansion bolts or plastic expansion anchors specifically are
not adequate or safe. Use the anchors specified for solid concrete
construction.
Never mount heavy instrumentation to plain gypsum board using
expansion anchors. The wall covering (plasterboard or plaster) must be
removed and the wall must be reinforced internally, in new or existing
construction.
Check the mounting hardware holding the wall channel onto the wall
every 12 months; tighten the hardware if necessary.
In installation:
No portion of the monitoring instruments may be mounted over a
patient's bed.
Never exceed the maximum rated load specified on the label(s) attached to
the wall mount in use.
Never exceed any maximum instrument stacking height specified on the
label(s) attached to the wall mount in use. Jf no stacking height limit is
given, then only one instrument may be installed on the mount.
The diagonal brace on the model MllSOA Option AOl/A02 and A04/A05
wall mounts must be placed into the wall channel and attached to the
support arm (see mount installation instructions).
In operation:
Do not attempt to remove or to adjust the height of any wall mount while
instruments are attached.
Always secure the knurled stop screw provided in the wall mount slide
after instrument heights are changed. On converted J3P 78912B mounts
(HP MllSOA Option A03), always reposition and tighten the adjustable
safety stop under the support arm.
,The channel safety stops prevent the wall mount arm from accidentally
falling or being pushed out of the wall channel. Do not remove these stops
while instruments are on the wall mount.
