SMARTdesks Loci Back-to-Back User manual

Loci™ Carrels
Computer Carrels for Testing & Study Privacy
Loci™ Carrels are available with flipIT® FIK19 Convertible
Workstations and flipIT® FIL18 Laptop Safes as options. Instal-
lation instructions are included with the flipIT® products for
their installation into the factory cutout, as ordered.
This manual shows the approach for assembling all Loci™
products, but uses the single sided Loci™ for demonstration.
The double sided Loci™ should be assembled on its feet and
requires 2 people working together for best results.
The single sided Loci™ is shown assembled on it’s back. It is
recommended that 2 people work together to lift the unit
upright, especially if add-on Loci™ are assembled together.
If the add-on modules assembled are more than four, it is
recommended that these also be assembled on their feet
using 2 people working together.

Loci Single Sided
Stand-Alone Unit
Loci Single Sided
Add-On Unit
Add-On units can be assembled endlessly.
The stand-Alone consists of two side panels, one
back panel, one work surface and one shelf. It is as-
sembled using only the single ended pins, 7 per side.
An add-on unit starts with a stand-alone unit, but
the second side is assembled with double-ended
pins, 7 per side, so it can accept the add-on unit.
The add-on units are assembled in line. They can be
assembled at any work surface height desired: 28,
30 or 36. If they are to be the same height, double-
ended pins must be used for add-ons.
If the heights are to alternated, single ended pins are
to be used.

Add-On Unit
Add-On units can be assembled endlessly.
The Back-to-Back unit consists of two side
panels, one back panel, two work surfaces
and two shelves. It is assembled using only
the single ended pins, 14 per side.
An add-on unit starts with a stand-alone
unit, but the second side is assembled with
double-ended pins, 14 per side, so it can
accept the add-on unit.
The add-on units are assembled in line.
They can be assembled at any work surface
height desired: 28, 30 or 36. If they are to be
the same height, double-ended pins must
be used for add-ons.
If the heights are to alternated, single ended
pins are to be used.

Assembly Approach
To assemble the stand-alone single-sided unit, start
with the back on the floor, cams face up. The floor
surface should be carpeted or furniture blankets
should be used to protect the furniture surfaces
from getting scratched.
If you are assembling many add-ons,
assemble the first two on their backs, then place
them upright and proceed with the rest of the add-
ons in their finished location.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid moving the full add-on assembly as a unit.
To do so requires many hands to lift together. Plan
ahead to assemble units of 4 or more in their
finished, installed location.
Place side panel in line with pin holes and
insert single end pins in the finish side (stand-
alone unit), or double end pins if add-on
units are to be assembled in-line.
This example shows the stand-alone version, so single end pins are used on
both sides.
Use a Phillips driver, #2 bit, and turn the cam to
secure the pin. The arrow of the cam should point in
the direction of the hole for insertion and clockwise
away from the hole to tighten.

Install second end panel
Install 3 single end
pins into back panel
and tighten cams.
Install desktop
Three sets of holes are provided for desktop heights.
This is the lowest height: 28 inches from floor. Use
this when a computer keyboard or laptop is used on
the desktop or with a flipIT Laptop Safe®.
Use this set of holes to install the desktop 30” from
the floor. Use this when a keyboard tray will support
a keyboard at about 28” above the floor. The flipIT™
K19 is installed at this height, or a solid desktop
with KB26 keyboard tray when monitor will sit on
desktop.
Use this set of holes for 36” standing height. Stand-
ing height is compatible with flipIT® K19, L18 Laptop
Safe, or solid top.
Note: After assembly of unit, use 1/2” pin hole covers
for a neat installation.

Install shelf with 4 single-
end pins for the stand
alone unit. Tighten cams.
Install top shelf*
The top shelf installs with 4 pins. The stand
alone unit uses single-end pins; add-on units
require double-end pins.
* The only case where the top shelf gets in the way is when the desktop is used at
standing height, or when an LCD monitor is used at sitting heights. If the top shelf
is not to be used, fill the pin holes with 1/2” covers.

Add-On Units Require double ended pins
When add-on units use the same pin hole locations side-to-side,
double ended pins are used. The exception is only when desktop
heights are mixed, allowing single ended pins to be used instead,
because hole location offset.
The long end of the pin is inserted first, the cam tightens against
the spring lock ring. The second end is ready to accept the next
back, desktop and shelf.
The shelf and desktop of the next add-on unit use the same positions. These double
ended pins are ready to accept the next set of back, desktop and shelf. 7 pins are used
in the single side, 14 used in the back-to-back add-on.

Install the back, then
desktop and shelf
Insert pins into back, desktop and shelf, then
tighten the cams.
For adding on, this unit is now ready for another side panel, installed with
double ended pins, just like the previous step. To finish the group, add the side
panel with single ended pins, just as you would on a stand-alone unit.
Single end pins are used for installing the shelf and desktops
because they do not share the same pin hole locations. Note
that the top shelf is not used at standing height.
Single end pins are used for installing the shelf and desktops

Single end pins are used for installing the desktops because
they do not share the same pin hole locations. Note that the
top shelf shares the same pin hole locations, so double ended
pins are used.
Double ended pins are used for all because shelves and desk-
tops share the same locations.

Install WM-WWC18 Wire Wonder with 3 screws using pilot holes
provided. If no pilot holes are provided, use a spacer and center
the WireWonder in the work area, in line with the grommets
for wire management on the side panels. Use 1/8” drill bit and
depth gauge to avoid drilling though panel.
Position power strip above WireWonder and install with long
screws. Test fit your screws to ensure they won’t pop out the
other side. Panels are 1/2” thick.
Phillips drive, 5/8” #8 thread wood screws are used
for attaching Wire Management. 3 are supplied for
each WM-WWC18.
