STEPS
1. Determine the side-to-side location
for the Z-manager. The upper mount
bracket location is to be directly above
the lower mount bracket location.
2. Attach the Upper Mount Top Bracket
(A) to the underside of the top, with the
alignment tab against the back edge,
using (2) #8 x ¾" pan head screw (I).
3. Connect the Upper Mount Management
Bracket (B) to the Upper Mount Top Bracket
(A) using the #8 x 1½" pan head screw (I).
4. Attach the Lower Mount Bracket (C) to the
beam, directly below the upper mount location.
With socket cap screw facing upward, engage
the downward facing hooks into the lower
edge of the slot on the face of the beam.
5. Insert (1) Lower Mount Engagement Block (D)
and (1) Lower Mount Nut (E) into the bottom of
the Lower Mount Bracket, and secure from the
top with a ¼-20 x 1" socket head cap screw (J).
Tighten the screw to raise the bracket hook so
that it engages the top edge of the beam slot.
6. Raise the station to its maximum height.

DETERMINE Z-MANAGER DIRECTION:
7. With the two mounts in place, it is necessary
to determine if the Z-manager will be
configured in the direction of the letter "S"
or the letter "Z". (From the top downward,
the "S" bends to the left, then bends to
the right, whereas the "Z" is opposite.
NOTE
: It is best to orient all Z-managers
on one side of a run in the same direction.
Orientation is particularly significant in
back-to-back stations without centerbeam
screens, where one may wish to line up
the curvature of adjacent Z-Managers.
NOTE: The opening sides of the
exwtruded wire management channels
are to always face the front of the station,
as the open ends of the mounts do.
8. Orient the Z-Manager Subassembly (F) so
that the opening sides face forward.
NOTE: Subassembly (F) ships in two
sections for Extended Electric. Snap the
long corrugated strap into the 9" extrusion
so that the buttons snap into the holes.

CREATE THE "S" or "Z":
NOTE
: The upper flex strap of the subassembly
(F) is always convex toward the cord
management channel, i.e., the cords will
be outside the bend when the corrugated
strap is curved. The lower flex strap of the
subassembly (F) is always concave toward the
cord management channel, i.e., the cords will
lie inside the bend when the strap is curved.
9. With the subassembly (F) facing forward and
straightened out, flex it so that the upper flex
strap bends away from the cord channel, and
the bottom flex strap bends toward the cord
channel.
This results in either the "S" orientation or
the "Z". If it is not the desired orientation,
straighten the subassembly (F) back up, and
rotate the subassembly 180° so that the top
becomes the bottom (keeping the opening
side facing forward.) Then flex the straps again
so that the upper flex strap bends away from
the cord channel and the bottom flex strap
bends toward the cord channel. This will
result in the desired orientation, "S" or "Z".
10. Having identified the upper end of
the subassembly (F), insert the Upper
Corrugated Strap (G) into the upper
extrusion of the subassembly so that
the buttons snap into the holes.
