Each system can be attached to an MSC headwall or the building wall.
IMPORTANT: If attached to headwall, the APTUS system must be attached to a back-braced monitor channel
within a MSC Headwall, Column or Service Module, or a MSC horizontal monitor channel assembly (518-2301 or
518-2302). If attached to building wall, the wall must be reinforced with bracing to support the APTUS system.
WARNING (min/max load): Loads from 4–20 lbs. of applied equipment, including but not limited to: LCD,
keyboard, mouse, cabling and peripherals.
INSTALLATION WARNING: Read the entire instruction sheet before you begin installation or assembly. Installer
must verify that the wall will safely support the combined weight of all the attached equipment and hardware.
Improper installation of this product can cause extensive property damage or serious personal injury, either during
or after the installation.
DISCLAIMER: The manufacturer and/or distributor will bear no responsibility for any damages of any kind arising
from any improper installation of this product. Because wall construction varies widely and the ultimate method
of mounting is out of the manufacturer’s or distributor’s control, it is imperative that the installer consult with
local engineering, architectural, or construction personnel to ensure the wall mount is constructed properly and
to code to handle the applied load.
NOTE: Channel details may differ from illustrations.
