3 4b Phase 1 - Assembling the Beam (Vertical Junctions, Horizontal Bars and Boundary Screens) 2 4a 1. Inventory and stage all vertical junctions, horizontal bars, beam top caps and boundary screens. 7/8" 4c 4b 2. Extend all junction glides to 7/8". 3. In the beam run, establish the floor high spot, and begin assembly at that location, to ensure that the junction and furniture glides can retract sufficiently. 4a 4. Open the quick locks (4a). Insert the upper and lower horizontal bars into the vertical junction. Fully seat the horizontal bars into the vertical junction by tapping with a mallet (4b) or using an Answer Assembly Tool (AdStock item number ) until the quick locks can be closed (4c). DO NOT USE THE MALLET TO CLOSE THE QUICK LOCKS. 4b 4a 5. Continue assembling horizontal bars and vertical junctions in the same manner, supporting the run with the minimal boundary screens required for adequate support. 4b 4a Page 3 of 12

4 6a 6. Prepare the boundary screen for attachment and beam support as follows: 5/8" a. Install the two (2) plastic glides onto the boundary screen studs, until they are 5/8" extended. b. Hang the lower boundary screen bracket on the lowest junction slot. 6a c. Hook the upper boundary screen bracket to the junction slots, putting the uppermost bracket hook into the third full slot from the top of the vertical junction. Make sure all bracket hooks are fully seated. 6a 6d 6e NOTE: The gap between the boundary screen brackets should be less than 1/16" if installed properly. d. Place the boundary screen into position. TIP: Use suction cup holders to help this installation process. 6c e. Secure with fourteen (14) 5/8" long screws. f. Check to make sure that the boundary screen is fully secured to the junction. 6b Page 4 of 12

5 9 7. Carefully level all the inline junctions with a laser level to 27-11/16" (above the floor high spot) by adjusting the junction glides. 8. Attach any remaining boundary screens. 10b 9. Level all the boundary screens by adjusting the boundary screen glides. 10. Starting at one end of a run, place a beam top cap over the vertical junctions, gauging the end of the top cap to the center of the vertical junction slot (10a). Install a top cap aligner between adjacent top caps, with the aligner centered on the joint (10b). NOTE: A beam top cap to junction gauging notch is provided on the lower boundary screen bracket. 11. Once all the top caps are placed (but not secured), verify that all the top cap joints are tight, and that the outer top caps are equally spaced from the end junction slots. DO NOT INSTALL SCREWS AT THIS TIME. TOP VIEW 10a LOWER BOUNDARY SCREEN BRACKET USED AS GAUGE NOTE: Beam top caps can be moved into position using a mallet and wood block by gently tapping on the end of the top caps. TIP: Skins can be put on before or after boundary screens. EQUAL EQUAL FRONT VIEW CENTER OF THE VERTICAL JUNCTION SLOT Page 5 of 12

6 12. Secure the top cap flanges to the horizontal bars with 3/4 long self-drilling screws, using the cap s V-grooves for screw vertical position. Use two (2) screws per side for a 36 cap, and three (3) screws per side for a 48 cap, with the end screws approximately 1" from each end of the cap flange. Make sure to capture metal shavings when installing screws NOTE: The beam top cap is nominally 28-1/2" high at the high spot of the beam run. 13. Install the boundary screen decorative covers. 12 APPROX. 1" APPROX. 1" 13 Page 6 of 12

7 2a Phase 2 - Assembling the Power, Data and Skins APPROX. 5" 1. Inventory and stage all power kits, modular harnesses, receptacles and skins. NOTE: Power blocks and modular connectors must be the same color for proper keying (Black = 3+1, Rust = 3 Separate Neutrals, Brown = 2+2). 2a 2. Prepare and install a power kit for the power infeed location as follows: a. Drill a 5/16" diameter hole in the bottom of the power tray approximately 5" from the end of the power block, and secure the infeed strain relief bracket with a 1/4-20 x 1/2" bolt and lock nut. END A b. Install that power kit below the upper horizontal bar at the infeed location by inserting end A into the junction, and then hooking end B and engaging the power kit locking clip. Orient the strain relief bracket to be nearest the infeed. 2b 3. Install the remaining power kits per step 2b above. END B 4. If specified, install the red junction sleeves in the junction openings below the power kits. 4 Page 7 of 12

8 5. Connect the modular harnesses between adjacent power kits, using a 26" harness for 36" beams and a 38" harness for 48" beams Install the receptacles into the power blocks by pressing them into the power blocks and locking them in place by sliding laterally outward. NOTE: Answer Beam receptacles have spring clips on each end for bezel retention. 7. Connect the building power to the infeed power kit with a multipurpose infeed as follows: a. Connect the infeed harness to the power block. b. Secure the harness in the strain relief bracket. 8. Test the receptacles to make sure they are powered. 7a NOTE: Install data cables and terminations prior to installing skins. 7b Page 8 of 12

9 9. Route the data cables within and through the panel frames, following applicable EIA/TIA guidelines for bend radius. The cables can pass through slots in junctions and horizontal bars, and may lie around horizontal bars when routing vertically. 10. When terminating data in a panel skin, utilize a furniture style faceplate (not provided). Follow the data faceplate manufacturer s instructions for proper installation of cables, jacks, and faceplates. 11. Apply TS7DFTOY Data Fillers on any skins with data cut-outs that do not require data termination Page 9 of 12

10 12. Install the skins below the top caps (12a) by aligning their attachment clips to the wider junction slots and pressing them into place (12b). 13. Place the receptacle trim bezels around the receptacles and push them into place, ratcheting them on until the bezels are behind the receptacle face and tight to the skin. NOTE: Bezels can be removed by using a small flat-bladed screwdriver (or putty knife), prying each end of the bezel outward. 14. Apply TS7RFTOY Receptacle Fillers on any skin cutouts that do not require power termination. 12a 15. Bezel removal (if necessary). Pry spring clip with small putty knife or small flat-bladed screwdriver. 12a b Page 10 of 12

11 2 Phase 3 - Assembling the End of Run Trim 1. Install the lower end of run trim by positioning the top of the trim about ¾ above the bottom of the top cap and pressing towards the junction, and then downward, engaging the four trim hooks Install the beam end cap by engaging the three spring clips in the top cap and gently tapping into place by hand. 3/4" Page 11 of 12
