Dry Erase Board, Non-Seismic Applications
Safety Requirements
Minimum Required Wall Construction
Drywall with metal studs:
• Must be at least 0.6 mm (.02") thick Metal
stud 48.8 mm x 50 mm (1.92" x 1.97")
• Studs on maximum 600 mm (24") centers
• Must be at least 2 x 12,5 mm (.49") Type X
gypsum drywall
• 35 mm (1.34") drywall screws on 250 mm
(12") centers
Verify Wall Construction
CAUTION! Adequate wall construction is
required to support the weight of the board.
Minimum wall construction must be capable
of supporting weight amounts listed in Table
1 on page 4.
The building’s Engineer of Record must be
consulted to determine if there are any seismic
requirements.
Drywall with wooden studs:
• Stud grade SPF, DFL or Hem-Fir 45 mm
x 70 mm (1.5” x 3.5”)
• Studs on 600 mm (24”) centers
• Must be atleast 25 mm (5/8”) thick Type X
gypsum drywall for the US or 2 x 12,5 mm (1/2”)
for EU
• 35 mm (#6 x 11/4”) drywall screws on 250 mm
(12”) centers

Handling + Storing of Panels
Handling
• When a3CeramicSteel panels are shipped, they
are protected by craft paper or a self-adhesive
transparent polyethylene ilm. Keep panels in the
original package until installation.
• Handle with care to prevent damage.
• Never slide panels o the stack during handling.
Panels should always be lifted and moved in a
vertical position.
• Never place an a3panel in a vertical position on
the loor. This is to prevent damage to the edges.
• Prevent dirt from settling on and between panels
to avoid surface damage, scratches or defects.
• Follow all safety instructions regarding personal
protection when processing the panels.
• Protect panel surface against sawdust and
sparks (metal particles).
• a3CeramicSteel will chip when cut or drilled with
power tools. Hand-cutting can cause chipping
up to approx. 2 mm from the edge. When
chipping is in excess of 2 mm, please check the
state of cutting tools and check that the panel is
adequately supported and clamped to prevent it
from vibrating.
• All cut or drilled sections should be protected
against humidity with PVC tape and/or by
covering/sealing proiles or sealing washers.
• For detailed processing instructions, please refer
to the a3processing instructions.
Storing
• Keep panels dry and free of debris.
• Store panels inside temps 5090 °F (1032 °C).
• Any panels stored outside should be protected
from inclement weather conditions.
• Place panels on hard, lat surfaces that are not
subject to standing water.
• a3CeramicSteel panels should be stacked no
more than three high.
• Panels should never be stored vertically or in
such a way that the corners are vulnerable to
damage.
If you have a problem, question, or a request, call
your local fabricator, your regional sales manager
or PolyVision Customer Service. PolyVision’s global
customer service team can be contacted on

above the brackets and slide it downwards in the wall brackets. Make sure the
panel is perfectly level.
8. Clean the groove before inserting the vertical proile. Insert the vertical proile
in the groove starting 10 mm (3/8") from the top of the panel. Use the pre-drilled holes
as a template to mark the holes. Remove the proile and pre-drill 6,5 mm (1/4")

vertical proile and ix the proile at the area where the proile touches the wall.
Make sure the proile is ixed at least on top, middle and bottom.
Make sure the vertical proile is inserted completely in the groove over the length
of the panel.
10. Place Panel B/C: carefully insert bottom of panel at an angle at the bottom corner.
Let the panel slide towards the previous installed panel, make sure the panels make
contact over the length of the panel and snap it down irmly onto the horizontal
wall bracket.
Repeat as many times as there is a panel B.
Once all B panels are installed, repeat for panel C
Tip: To remove the panel, use opposite handling from installation.

Manipulación + almacenamiento de paneles
Manipulación
• Cuando se envían paneles a3CeramicSteel, se los
protege con papel madera o con una película de
polietileno transparente autoadhesiva. Mantenga los
paneles en el embalaje original hasta su instalación.
• Manipule con cuidado para evitar daños.
• Nunca deslice los paneles para desapilar durante
la manipulación. Los paneles siempre deben
levantarse y trasladarse en posición vertical.
• Nunca coloque un panel a3en posición vertical
sobre el piso. Esto es para evitar daños en los bordes.
• Evite que se acumule suciedad sobre y entre los
paneles para prevenir daños, rayones o defectos en
la supericie.
• Siga todas las instrucciones de seguridad con
respecto a la protección personal al procesar los
paneles.
• Proteja la supericie del panel contra el serrín y las
chispas (partículas metálicas).
• El a3CeramicSteel se astillará si se corta o perfora
con herramientas eléctricas. El corte manual puede
ocasionar un astillamiento de aproximadamente
2mm desde el borde. Cuando el astillamiento
supera los 2 mm, veriique el estado de las
herramientas de corte y compruebe que el panel
esté bien apoyado y sujetado para evitar que vibre.
• Todas las secciones cortadas o perforadas deben
protegerse contra la humedad con cinta de PVC o
cubriendo o sellando los periles o las arandelas de
sellado.
• Para obtener instrucciones detalladas sobre el
procesamiento, consulte las instrucciones de
procesamiento de a3.
Almacenamiento
• Mantenga los paneles secos y limpios.
• Almacene los paneles a temperaturas en
interiores de 50 °F a 90 °F (10 °C a 32 °C).
• Los paneles almacenados en exteriores se
deberán proteger contra la intemperie.
• Coloque los paneles sobre supericies duras y
planas en las que no se estanque agua.
• Los paneles a3CeramicSteel no deben
guardarse en pilas de más de tres.
• Los paneles nunca deben almacenarse
verticalmente o de forma tal que las esquinas
queden vulnerables a sufrir daños.
