Section 1: Installation Preparation
Pre-Installation Information (Please read carefully before starting)
WARNING:
VERIFY THAT RAILS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AMICO RAIL INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS. RAIL FAILURE WITH DEVICES MOUNTED CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
WARNING:
IT IS DANGEROUS TO USE THE ARM FOR WEIGHTS OUTSIDE OF THE RATED RANGE. STRUCTURAL
FAILURE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT.
WARNING:
DO NOT POSITION THE MONITOR ARM ABOVE A PATIENT.
WARNING:
THE AHM MONITOR ARM CONTAINS A STRONG GAS SPRING WHICH IS USED TO COUNTERBALANCE
THE WEIGHT OF THE MOUNTED DEVICE. THE ARM HOUSING SHOULD NEVER BE DISASSEMBLED BY NON-AMICO
PERSONNEL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. THE MOUNTED DEVICE
SHOULD BE WITHIN THE “DUTY WEIGHT RANGE” FOR BEST PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY.
WARNING:
IT SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOSPITAL, ITS CONSULTANTS AND/OR CONTRACTORS TO
DETERMINE IF THE WALL IS ADEQUATE TO SAFELY MOUNT THE SPECIFIC INSTRUMENT. THIS INCLUDES THE
SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE FASTENERS AND THE PROPER INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT
IS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR AHM MONITOR ARM. SEE RAIL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIFIC WALL CHANNEL GUIDELINE
INFORMATION.
WARNING:
VERIFY THE WEIGHT OF THE DEVICE TO BE MOUNTED. (AHM LCD AND PATIENT MONITOR ARMS ARE
RATED AT 40 LBS (18.1 KG) OF LOAD, THIS RATING APPLIES TO ALL AHM WITH OR WITHOUT EXTENSIONS). (PLEASE
REFER TO WEIGHT RATING LABEL, LOCATED EITHER ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF THE ARM ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING
ON THE MODEL). CHECK THAT THE DEVICE TO BE MOUNTED DOES NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT RATING. SERIOUS
INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE ARM CAN OCCUR AS A RESULT OF OVERLOADING ARM ASSEMBLY. THE ABOVE
WEIGHT RATING APPLIES TO ALL UNITS WITH EXTENSIONS.
For installation on non-Amico rails, ensure the rail is safe for the application.
