FURRING STRIPS
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: The following instructions will show a three bay
elevation using typical 8' uprights as a sample installation. Although
System 1224 can be secured directly to a suitable substrate wall,
B+N recommends the use of furring strips. Furring strips will insure
a strong and stable installation.
STEP 1: Determine the overall width of the elevation. This can be
calculated by adding the on-center dimension of the bays plus 1" on
each end. For example a three bay elevation is 24"+24"+24"+1+1"=
74".
STEP 2: Cut four wood furring strips. Furring strip measurements are
4"H X .75" thick X 74" (length calculated above).
STEP 3: Locate and mark studs in the wall. Now determine the
starting location of the elevation. The first furring strip will be
installed 6" (recommended) off the floor. Using a level, secure the
furring strip to the wall into the studs.
STEP 4: Attach the three additional furring strips using the
dimensions shown.

INSTALLING 1ST UPRIGHT
STEP 1: Hold the upright against the left side of the furring strips.
The bottom left corner of the upright should align with the bottom
left corner of the lowest furring strip.
STEP 2: Using a level, orient the upright vertically and, using #10
button head wood screws (not included) screw the upright to the
furring strips in the locations marked. The holes in the upright are
slotted allowing for some adjustability. If the furring strips were
properly installed, the edges should align with the left edge of the
upright.
STEP 3: Before fully seating screws, verify the upright is vertically
level and not bowed. Proceed to next page.

USING ASSEMBLY JIGS
GENERAL SCOPE: To insure the uprights are installed at the proper
distance apart, B+N provides Assembly Jigs. The jigs are installed
between uprights by removing pins from the uprights, and attaching
the jigs inbetween. The jigs are designed to create a perfect 24" on
center installation; necessary to insure System 1224 functions
properly.
PROVIDED:
3 Spacing Jigs
2 5/32" Allen Keys
STEP 1: After installing the first upright, gather the three included
Assembly Jigs. Select pins on the installed upright near the top,
middle, and bottom (Labeled A1, B1, and C1) and remove them
using two allen keys. Remove the corresponding pins on the next
upright in a similar fashion (Labeled A2, B2, and C2).
STEP 2: Slide one of the Assembly Jigs in between the first upright
and the next upright. This is easiest if one person holds the upright
against the furring strips while another installs the jig. Attach one
half of the pin set through one side of the jig, through the upright,
and into the matching pin. Tighten the pin set. Do this for each end
of the jig. Repeat the process for the remaining two jigs. The next
upright is properly spaced to 24" on-center.
STEP 3: Using levels on the jigs and upright as needed, screw the
next upright into the furring strip and into position where marked.
STEP 4: After removing the pins holding the jigs in place, remove the
jigs. Some force may be required to pull the jigs out of position.
Replace the three sets of pins on the first upright, but leave the
three sets on the second upright off in preparation for installing the
next jig and upright.
STEP 5: Install the remaining uprights following the steps above.

CONNECTING POWER
General Scope: The powering of the uprights is accomplished by
using a driver connected to a power connector, which in turn is
connected to the upright. The power connector makes contact with a
copper channel that runs the length of the upright. The power needs
of the setup will determine how many drivers are necessary to power
the accessories. This example elevation will use a typical setup of
one driver powering two uprights via a splitter.
STEP 1: There are 3 pre-determined locations for connecting the
power along the upright (see image). Choose the one that best fits
the needs of the setup. Using double stick tape (not included) affix
the driver to the wall, assuring the power cord can reach the wall
outlet.
STEP 2: Position the power connector into the copper channel on
the first upright, and screw the connector into position. Use
electrical tape, velcro, or wire cords to create a clean wire
management layout.
STEP 3: Connect a power connector to the next upright. Feed the
wire through a mouse hole and into the splitter coming off the driver.
Again create a tidy wiring layout.
STEP 4: Because this example setup uses 3 bays (4 uprights), there
is need for one more driver, which only powers the third upright.
There is no need for a splitter. Attach the driver and power
connector as done previously in Steps 2 and 3.
STEP 5: Connect the driver power cords to the wall outlets. The
setup is now electrified and ready for electrified accessories.

INSTALLING PANELS
GENERAL SCOPE: The grid-breaking panels of System 1224 come
in many different sizes and finishes, including electrified SEG
graphic panels. Panels are location specific, labeled Top, Middle, or
Bottom. The difference being the orientation of the horizontal
extrusions on the back surface. Panels are attached by two
hardware types: spring clips and hooks. Most panels have hooks
located in the bottom, with the rest of the hardware being spring
clips, the exeption being Bottom panels which use just spring clips.
The following instructions explain installing a typical 1 foot high by 2
foot wide metal panel.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS:
No tools needed
STEP 1: Determine which panel will be installed and whether it is
located Top, Middle, or Bottom (see image on left). Panels will be
labeled accordingly.
STEP 2: Holding the panel at a slight angle, locate the lower hooks
onto the upright pins.
STEP 3: Rotate the panel up and the spring clips will snap into
position on the uprighjt pins, locking the panel into place. Repeat for
all other panels.
Note: Bottom panels only use spring clips and are pushed into
posisition straight on.

ADDING ACCESSORIES
GENERAL SCOPE: System 1224 has a wide range of shelving and
cabinet accessories, available in 24" and 48" wide, and many of
those also come as electrified lit versions. Adding accessories is
made effortless, utilizing the j-hook feature, and hanging from the
upright pins. Install locations are vertically every 6" along the
upright.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS:
No tools needed
STEP 1: Determine the location of the accessory. Pin locations are
visible in the gap between the panels and front visible edge of the
upright.
STEP 2: Position the accessory so that the j-hook on the rear of the
accessory lines up with the desired pin. Slide the accessory into the
gap, with the slots of the j-hooks engaging the pins. Push the
accessory down to lock it into place. If the accessory is electrified,
the LED light will automatically turn on.
Note: Some accessories, like cabinets, use multiple j-hooks to
support the accessory. They are installed in a similar manner.
