Single Station Assembly
Stabilizer panels are mounted between the columns
with “T” bolts. Usually these are mounted through
the second, fourth, and ninth holes from the bottom
of the columns.
The access slot in the stabilizer channel should be
positioned over the third hole from the bottom of the
column to provide access to the outrigger clevis pin
and retainer.
Mount the stabilizer using the 1/4-20 x 2” “T” bolts,
1/4” washers, and 1/4-20 wing nuts provided.
In-line Assembly
Begin by assembling all columns and outriggers.
Then assemble the first column and stabilizer in the
manner described previously. The middle column
will have two stabilizers mounted to it. Therefore you
must bolt through the column and both stabilizers.
This procedure is repeated for each successive
workstation. At the last column of your in-line
station ensure the “T” bolt is facing the stabilizer
panel. Alignment
Alignment of the system is necessary at this point.
The columns must be both vertically and horizontally
aligned. This can be accomplished by using a level,
and adjusting the glides. Floor glides must be
adjusted so that each column supports equal weight.
NOTE: Alignment should be re-checked after
accessories are installed.
Basic Frame Assembly
Install all leveling glides before starting assembly. The column glide should only be threaded half way into
the column, while the outrigger glides should be threaded into the outriggers their full length.
Install outriggers by inserting the tongues of the outrigger into the center slot or Macro slot of the column.
Secure with clevis pins through the tongues of the outrigger, then insert the retainer through the hole in the
clevis pin. Outriggers must be positioned as shown below to ensure correct alignment of the in-line system
as well as correct alignment for footrest mounting.

Worksurface Assembly
Place the worksurface face down on a smooth surface
to prevent damage. Place the worksurface brackets
and support beams in their proper locations as shown
below. Install the four 1/4-20 x 1” machines screws
provided and tighten once all are in place.
NOTE: If you have drawers on your system now is the
time to hang them. (See drawer mounting instructions).
Round Corner or Straight Back Corner
Worksurface
These worksurfaces are mounted between two 900
adjacent modules. They require one pair of
worksurface support brackets. Place the worksurface in
the desired location and fasten the support brackets
using the four 1/4”-20 x 3/4” machine screws provided
and tighten once all are in place.
Square Corner Worksurface
This worksurface assembly requires it’s own 36”
module (starter or adder) and support brackets as
shown. Two pair of worksurface support brackets are
supplied. (Only three brackets are actually required).
Place the worksurface in the desired location and fasten
the support brackets using the six 1/4”-20 x 3/4”
machine screws provided and tighten once all are in
place. Rear Corner Leg Support
This worksurface is mounted using one pair of
worksurface support brackets. Place the worksurface
on the brackets. Adjust the height of the leg relative to
the worksurface by unfastening the screw at the bottom
of the leg assembly and sliding the inner tube up or
down as required. Line up the threaded insert and
fasten. Fine adjustments can be done with the leveling
glide. Now slide the rear leg to the back corner of the
worksurface approximately 2” from either side and
fasten to the worksurface using the wood screws
provided.

Upright Trim
Mount the two trim strips provided with a starter
assembly one on each end of assembled system,
by aligning trim with top of column and pressing it
into place down the length of the column. Inside
trim should be installed after light placement (so the
power cord may be concealed between the trim
and column), but before other accessories.
Drawer, Tote Box & CPU Holder Mounting
Drawers and Tote Boxes are mounted using two steel strip drawer
hangers which slide inside the worksurface support beams.
Drawers should be installed before the worksurface assembly is
mounted on the system. If the worksurface assembly is already in
place, it should be removed for drawer installation.
The worksurface is placed face down with one worksurface support
bracket and two support beams loosely fastened to the top.
For ease of assembly the drawers can be removed by releasing the
disconnects on both sides of the slides and pulling the drawer
forward to separate the slides. Fasten the two hangers (threaded
inserts facing away from the drawer housing), loosely to the housing
using the four 1/4”-20 x 1” machine screws provided. Slide the drawer hangers into the open end of the
worksurface support beams. Install the remaining worksurface support bracket and tighten all hardware.
Parabolic
The 36” and 48” parabolics are installed using the
two cap screws provided. The 60” & 72” parabolics
are installed by first putting the end plates in place,
by inserting it into the extruded slot of the light
fixture. With both end plates in place, the parabolic
may then be installed using the two cap screws
provided.
Fluorescent Fixture
Remove the screws from the top of the light housing.
Places the brackets as shown below and replace the
screws. Mount the assembly at the desired height of
the column. Ensure the brackets are properly seated
by lifting the front edge of the light until the brackets fall
into there seated position. Route the power cord down
the inside of the column and cover with accent trim.
Light Trim
Start installing at one end of the light. The light trim
will fit snugly around the front edge of the light housing.
With one end in place, slide your hand along the length
of the trim, pushing it onto the light housing.

Modesty Panel
Modesty Panels are hooked into the micro slots at
any convenient point on the column. Install both
sides of the panel at the same time. Push the
panel down to lock it in place.
Power Beam
Power Beams are installed by hooking the brackets
into the micro slots. Hook the cord end in first then
the opposite end.
Tool Trolley Track
Mounts to light brackets, with or without light. Can
be mounted in front of or behind light. Install one of
the screws and square nuts provided. Slide tool
trolley inside the track. Install the screw and nut at
the other end of the track.
Micro Slot Accessories
Accessory Cabinet, Tool Box, Shirley Bin, Sloping
Document Shelf, to name a few, can be mounted at
any desired height along the column.
Parts Bin Rail
Parts Bin Rails accept industries standard bins and
are available in 2”, 4” and 6” depths for tiered
arrangements. Position as required in micro slots.
For large heavy bins install a second rail below for
support. Parts bin rails may be grounded by
installing a ground lead (not supplied) with a screw
through the hole in either end of the bin rail and
connect to earth ground.
Parts Bin Rail Accessories
Tool Holder, Bottle Holder, Wipes Holder, and
Solder Spool Holder. These hang anywhere along
the length of the parts bin rail.

Steel Shelf
This shelf can be mounted in the macro slots
anywhere along the height of the column on 3”
increments. The slope of the shelf is adjustable to
00, 150, or 300. The shelf may be grounded by
installing a grounding lead (not supplied) with a
screw through the hole at either end of the shelf
and connect to earth ground.
Swing Arm System
The 8420 and 8423 universal brackets are used to
support the swing arm system. The 8420 bracket
is installed at the desired height in the macro slot
of the column. To prevent the bracket from being
accidentally dislodged, a pin is provided that
should be inserted through the holes in the
embossed side of the bracket and into the column.
The 8423 bracket is installed at the desired height
on the side of the column, using the three 1/4”-20
x 1 3/8” bolts, washers and lock nuts provided.
Air Beam
Air beams are provided with two or three receptacles
for 1/4” NPT quick connects. Any receptacles not
used with quick connects must be plugged. Each
end of the air beam is equipped with a quick connect
fitting for 1/4” tube. This allows air beams to be
connected in line. You can remove or install the red
blanking plug as shown below. Either tubing or
blanking plug must be in place to prevent pressure
loss. 18” of 1/4” tube supplied.
Quick Connect Fitting
Push collar in, at the same time, pull out plug or
tubing.
Open Wire Shelf
Position macro brackets in the column at the
desired height, with the offset of the brackets
facing inwards. Mount the shelf onto the brackets
with the wire securely in the slots of the brackets.
Shelves may be installed with the lip edges facing
up or down. Be sure brackets are properly seated
in the columns before loading the shelf.

Grounding Static Protected Worksurfaces
In order to prevent a possible electrical
shock hazard to personnel, the static
protected laminate should not be directly
connected to ground at any point.
Recommended grounding procedures
suggest installing an in-line 1 MEG OHM
current limiting resistor between the static
protected laminate and the ground.
Electrical (Hydro) grounding circuits may
not be at actual ground potential. It is
recommended that a separate ground
circuit be installed for the static protected
worksurface.
If your worksurface was not supplied with a
factory drilled grounding location, use a
7/32” drill bit to drill into the worksurface in
the desired location ensuring that no
structure will obstruct the bolt. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO USE THE CORRECT
SIZE DRILL BIT TO ENSURE PROPER CONTACT WITH THE CONDUCTIVE LAYER. Install the
brass ground bolt. Lightly hammer the knurl into the worksurface until the bottom of the bolt head is
flush with the laminate. Install washer, brass nut, ground lead, and brass nut as shown. Do not over
tighten the nut, snug down firmly to ensure contact between the bolt and the laminate.
Common Point Ground Block
The purpose of a common point ground
block is to bring all required ground leads
to a common ground point. If a common
point ground block is required, it should be
mounted (using the attached adhesive
strips) on the underside of the worksurface
in a convenient place, out of the way but
accessible from both sides. Note one side
of the base is embossed with the indication
1 MEG OHM. All connections made on
the other side of the common point ground
block will be connected directly to ground.
Connect ground leads from the brass
ground bolt and the dual wrist strap
receptacle to the direct to ground side of the common point ground block. Ground leads from any
electrical equipment should also be connected to the direct to ground side. Ground leads from the
metal frame of the workstation and/or other metal accessories should be connected to the one mega
ohm side of the ground block. Ensure all ground leads are tucked away neatly to prevent accidental
disruption of ground connections.

Laminate Cleaning
The permanent static dissipative layer is embedded below a
decorative surface layer. Cleaning may be accomplished with
a damp cloth and any non-abrasive detergent cleaner without
affecting the electrical properties. Waxes should not be used
as they may impair the static dissipation.
SC12 Dual Wrist Strap Receptacle
This should be mounted onto the worksurface
support beam much like the drawer assembly.
Loosely fasten the hanger to the wrist strap
receptacle. Slide it into the worksurface support
beam and tighten hardware. Attach ground lead
to brass worksurface ground bolt. See page 7 for
worksurface grounding instructions.
