Assembly Process
1. The Main Place beams will be shipped partially assembled. They will include the nuts
used to connect the arms, legs and seat brackets (within the mounting grooves), groove
fillers, end caps and power pods. If the unit is to be equipped with power outlets, the
beam will also include the inlet assembly, outlet assembly, raceway fillers, wire
management devices and wiring. Consult a floor plan and select a beam of the correct
length for the unit to be assembled. See the table below. Note that an intermediate table
takes the space of one seat.

2. Install a Leg near each end of the beam. It is recommended that this process to be done
with the beam lying flat on the ground. A soft cloth sheet should be placed underneath
the beam to protect the unit from scratches and dents. Use H560 5/16-18 x3/4” button
head socket screw with Loctite attached to the nuts in the bottom grooves of the
beam. Loosely attach cast clips on to respective nuts under the beam.

3. Attach the back cushions to two cast aluminum hanger brackets using four H506 1/4-20
x 1”socket button head screws with Loctite. Attach a seat cushion to the hanger
brackets using four more of the same screws. Use awl to help align with hole. Be careful
not to poke thought cushion. Loosely attach all 8 screws before tightening.
Step 3 - Assembly of Seat and Back
4. Position each seat and back assembly midway between the arms. Lift the assembly to
guide the top surface of the hooks on the back of the hanger brackets into the grooves
on the front of the beam. Press the hooks into the grooves and pull down to engage the
hooks in the beam.
Step 4 - Install the Assembled Seat to the Beam

5. Attach each hanger bracket to the beam aligning them with the cast clips. Loosely
fasten the H506 1/4-20 x 1”socket button head screw (see 5.1) into the smaller hole
in the cast clip. Then tighten the H507 5/16-18 x 1”socket button head screw with
Loctite. (See 5.2)
Notes:
For 2-seater unit, retention clip will replace cast clips at both ends because leg will be
installed at the ends. At the meantime, H506 and H128 will be used to fasten retention
clip. Therefore step 5.1 and 5.2 should be replaced by the following 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5.
Exploded view is shown(see5.3) for the parts and hardware to be installed. Loosely
fasten H506 1/4-20 x 1”socket button head screw (see 5.4) into the smaller hole of
cast clip and retention clip. Then tighten the H507 5/16-18 x 1”socket button head
screw with Loctite and H128 5/16-18 x 1/2” socket button head screw stainless
steel for cast clip and retention clip, respectively (see 5.5).

front grooves of the beam. Loosen the screw at the back of the power pod that mates to
the beam, do not remove the pod. Align the arm’s bushings to the key slots on the top
face of the power pod. Once the arm is aligned with the power pod, attach the arms to
the beam using H124 - 5/16-18 x 1 1/4” socket head cap screws and H238 - 5/16"
High Collar Lock Washer. Ensure that the arm castings are vertical. Once the arm is

9. NON-POWERED PLACE –Lay the beam on the floor so that the bottom edge faces
upward. A soft cloth sheet should rest underneath the unit to protect it from scratches
and dents. If no power is to be installed, attach power cover plates to each arm by
removing and re-using two H142 #8-32 x 3/4in flat head socket screws (see 9.2) and
one H029 5/16-18 x 3/4in Flat head Socket Cap screw with one H117 5/16in
Countersunk External Tooth Lock Washer (see 9.1). A 5/16-18 nut should be found in

11. Use the provided layout as a guide for Place electrical configuration. For units that do
not require daisy chaining, insert the C13 power cords into the inlet. When the units
require daisy chaining, connect the adjacent units using the jumper cords (the C14
connector to the outlet on the power unit and C13 connector into the inlet on adjacent
unit). Once the units are connected, turn the circuit breaker (switch) to the “ON” position.
Ensure the blue lights are lit on each pod. If the pod fails to light up, contact Arconas for
support.
Do not daisy chain adjacent units. Only back to back units that are connected to
each other.
Do not plug C14 or C13 connectors into Power Pod (see Parts List) outlet.

For Back to Back
For back-to-back configurations, we recommend sawhorses/work benches be used when
installing the back-to-back connectors. Use the sawhorses/work benches to elevate the units.
Employ an awl to position and align the back-to-back connectors between the legs and the
beam. Once aligned, use the provided hardware H561 5/16"-18, 7/8" HEX DR ROUND HEAD
SCREW WITH LOCTITE to fasten the legs and connectors to the beam. Repeat process on the
opposite end.
STEP 2.2 -INSTALLATION OF BACK-TO-BACK
Cable Management
Use cord springs to dress any excess cords. Insert cord spring into beam then twist clockwise
to engage prongs.
