Mounting on the Wall (General)
Warning Warning
Existing wall construction and reinforcement:
The 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.
Do not install a wall mount 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 installation process.
Fastenings:
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.
In Installation:
No portion of the mount or mainframe may extend 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.
Do not attempt to remove any wall mount while instruments are attached.
The wall mount is mounted directly to the wall. All mountings and anchorages must conform
to local building codes and regulations. A variety of mounts are available and can be
purchased, or the user can devise his own, provided it conforms to the warnings and
regulations stated in this manual.
Installation consists of building a mount to which the Dovetail or External Power Supply
Bracket are fastened. The monitor then slides and snaps onto the Dovetail and the External
Power Supply slips into its bracket. The bracket can also be mounted directly on the wall.
In general, wall mounts must be installed securely to the wall's internal structure with number
10 sheet metal screws, 1/4-20 or 10-32 pan head machine screws, or bolts with nuts or toggle
wings. The type of fastening and method depends on the wall construction.
Note—
sheet-metal screws have type-A threads.
You can install the mount base in three ways:
1. On Hollow Block or Hollow Tile Walls.
2. On Solid Concrete or Solid Block Walls.
3. On Drywall.
4-6 Installation
Machine screws have built-in lock washers or other means of securing threads. All
