4 Installation Instructions
4.1 Installing into a Laminated Socket
Fabricate the inner socket as usual, enclose the socket with foam and
rough-grind the foam.
Set the lamination pattern into the rigid foam, making sure the edge extends
out of the foam by at least 2 mm.
Attention! The surface below the lamination dummy must be
ush.
Create a contoured edge on the socket by applying Plastilin around the
lamination pattern. Be careful not to damage the edges of the lamination
pattern (g. 2).
Pull over a PVA bag and laminate the forearm shell in the usual manner.
Once the lamination form has set, grind the protruding edge of the lami-
nation pattern so that it's ush (g. 3).
Cut out the middle of the lamination pattern (g. 4) and remove (g. 5).
Insert the spacer block into the battery receptacle (g. 6) and install into the
forearm shell so that the engaging lever is positioned proximally. Next attach
the battery receptacle using sealing resin.
Attention! Be careful when applying sealing resin in the area of
the engaging lever (g. 7).
Once the resin has set, remove the spacer block and mount the 13E188=*
Battery Connection Cable in the battery receptacle (g. 8).
4.2 Installation into the Forearm of an Ottobock Elbow Component
Use the 757Z189=1 Pattern to position the battery receptacle.
Attention! When using an elbow component with AFB (Automa-
tic Forearm Balance) together with an electric wrist rotator, allow a
minimum distance of 103 mm between the elbow joint and battery
receptacle to avoid possible collision (g. 9).
Drill four holes within the shell of the pattern and saw out space for the bat-
tery receptacle (g. 10).
