2. Preparatory Ceiling Work

WARNINGThese procedures concerning mounting the Hercules to a solid or concrete ceiling assume that professional architectural or engineering services have been consulted. The installer should ensure that the solid ceiling or concrete is structurally sufficient for the mounting of this type of device. The procedures outlined below are the manufacturers recommendations but are in no way a substitute for the advice of a qualified professional architect or engineer. These mounting instructions should be kept together with the respective shield operat-ing instructions for future reference.

The equipment’s weight and the tilting as a result of the articulated arm(s) will require thorough work, in par-ticular the use of an authorized hammer drill and compliance with all drill tolerances.

Anchorage plate or intermediate flanges should only be attached to a ceiling of concrete strength classifica-tion B 25 or higher. The dowel anchor must be inserted completely into the concrete in case Heraklith or other lightweight construction lining is present. Correspondingly longer threaded bolts will be required for attaching the ceiling anchorage plate to accommodate the lining.

Furthermore, it is imperative that neither the base mount nor the attachment parts come into contact with the solid ceiling’s reinforcement parts.

2.1 Hercules Suspension Column to Concrete CeilingsThe Hercules Suspension system can be mounted fixed to a solid ceiling or Unistrut framework, or it can be mounted mobile to a ceiling mounted track. The Hercules Suspension Systems comes with a 140mm square base mount.

This square base mount has holes to accept (4) M12 bolts evenly spaced at 150 mm diameter which supports the vertical column tube.

When attaching this Hercules Suspension System to a solid ceiling or Unistrut framework, it is absolutely mandatory to use an anchorage plate (OSP-736NF sold separately) to sup-port and adjust the heavy system. This anchorage plate must be firmly anchored flat and level.

It is imperative that neither the Base Mount nor the attachment parts come in contact with the ceilings reinforcement parts.

The anchorage plate can easily be attached to ceilings of appropriate concrete strength, using dowel anchors M10 or safety dowels M8.

However, the forces which are created in addition to the equipments weight caused by the tilting force of the significantly protruding articulated arms will require thorough drill work, especially the use of an authorized hammer drill and compliance with drill toler-ances.

The base mount and vertical column need to be vertically adjusted so the arms won’t drift.

2.1.1 Attaching Ceiling Anchorage Plate to Solid CeilingDrill (drill bit diameter 12) at least 100 mm deep using an authorized hammer drill. Use ceiling anchorage plate as template (an assistant might be required). Push safety dowels through drill holes of ceiling anchorage plate so as to create a close fit with the washers.

Thoroughly tighten screws using a torque wrench 18.4 ft/pds (25 Nm).

Lightweight construction linings with a maximum thickness of 30 mm can be spanned using a safety dowel. Longer dowels will be required for a thickness exceeding 30 mm.

Use an intermediate flange to span the spacing between the solid ceiling and the intermediate ceiling (preferably for spacings larger than 400 mm).

The intermediate flange should be flush with the intermediate ceiling’s lower surface.

These procedures concerning a Unistrut framework assume that professional architectural or engineering services have been consulted. The installer should ensure that the framework is securely fixed to the main structure of the building and should consult the Unistrut manufacturers’ installation instructions for proper mounting information.

Anchorage Plate:A steel plate 350mm x 350mm x 6mm thick with a 13mm diameter hole in each corner, 260mm apart, & 1 central 60mm diameter hole, plus 4 x 12mm diameter holes to suit the ceiling column base fixing holes. Four M12 x 40mm long cap screws, washers & locknuts are included which are used for attaching the ceiling column to the plate.

WARNING: The Hercules Column Base flange must be bolted to a flat and level surface.

Step 1 Determine that existing or newly installed unistrut channels, concete ceiling and/or other supporting elements can support the applied load and that professional architectural or engineering services have been consulted to make this determination.

Step 2Align the holes in the upper flange of the ceiling column with the optional anchorage plate and use the supplied M12 x 40mm long cap screws to bolt together. Apply Loctite to the threads.

Step 3Bolt the anchorage plate, or a suitable alternative, to a Unistrut framework so that the distance between the plate and any suspended ceiling is no greater that 35cm.

Step 4Use a carpenter’s level to ensure that the column is vertical.

The Hercules Suspension System can be mounted on a ceiling track, OS-260NF Regular Ceiling Track, for 1 or 2 arm configurations where the combined equipment load is less than 114.6 lbs (52 Kg) or OS-270NF Heavy load Track for 2 or 3 arm configurations where the combined equipment load is more than 114.6 lbs. (52 Kg) up to 213.8 lbs (97 Kg).

When mounting the Hercules Suspension system on the OS-270NF Heavy Load Track a 4 to 6 bolt adaptor plate is re-quired.

WARNING: These procedures concerning a Unistrut framework assume that professional architectural or engineering services have been consulted. Therefore, these instructions are only guidelines for installation and are in no meant to supplant or substitute for professional architectural or engineering services. In all cases, the installer should ensure that the framework is securely fixed to the main structure of the building and should consult the Unistrut manufacturers’ installation instructions for proper mounting information. These installation procedures assume the track is mounted to Unistrut or similar channels. With suspended ceilings or in rooms with high ceil-ings, a framework that is fixed to the structure of the building should support these channels. Suitably qualified engineers should carry out the installation of the track.

2.2.2. Track Installation - Parallel to Unistrut ChannelsNOTE: With Unistrut channels parallel to the track the following applies:

■ The track should be suspended from 2 parallel 2.5 meter long (or longer) Unistrut channels set either 7" or 13" apart.

■ The track must be attached to the two Unistrut channels by 8 hardware sets (4 per side).

■ The track offers the optional use of hardware attachment points that are either 7 inches on center or 13 inches on center.

Step 1 Bolt the track to the two channels using 4 hardware sets per side. If Power Source Cable Drape Track (PS-747) is also be-ing used refer to section 7 before proceeding.

5.3.1 Center Mount, Series 596, 745 and 765 Protective Windows

Step 1

If the clear lead acrylic window has a corner cut-out, determine if it is normally positioned bottom left or bottom right. The central ball & socket joint allows the window to move in any direction and the central vertical support can turn 360° in the Type 2000 arm, so the cut-out can be positioned at any corner. However, backward tilt is restricted by the position of the central support. Maximum forward tilt at the top of the window is achieved when the support is nearest to the practitioner and the window is on the other side.

Step 2

Place the 45mm od. hub of the ball & socket joint in the central hole in the clear lead acrylic window. This joint is located at the lower end of the vertical support. Attach the window-retaining disc to the joint with 4 - M4 x 20mm long counter-sunk allen head screws. Apply Loctite to the threads.

8. Inspection & Maintenance

Inspection

After initial installation and periodically thereafter:

■ Inspect all screws/bolts to ensure that they are tightened.

■ Inspect all parts for signs of wear or damage.

■ Ensure that cabling to a lamp is not damaged.

■ Check the total system to ensure that it moves smoothly.

Cleaning

The suspension parts are provided with high quality baked enamel coating. They can be cleaned and disinfected using agents normally used in operating rooms.

The lamp head and clear plastic lens can be kept clean by wiping with a soft viscose sponge. After drying with a non fluffing cloth the lens should be wiped with an anti-static agent. This largely prevents dust deposits as a result of electro-static charging. Do not use scouring agents or use disinfectant containing more than 20% alcohol.

Protective Windows fitted to radiation shields contain lead acrylic. Small marks on the surface of lead acrylic can be re-moved with be fine acrylic polish. Use isopropyl alcohol on a soft cloth to remove marks.

Maintenance

The radiation shields and surgical lamps described in this manual are constructed in such a way that all mechanical elements, bearings and joints only need periodic inspection. However, preventative maintenance procedures are recommended where the articulated joints are greased annually with a light coat of a lithium based automotive grease (or equivalent).

Caution:If any worn or damaged parts are

found do not continue to use them.

WARNING Turn off the power to any fitted lamp before cleaning or performing maintenance. Engage (push) the transit lock button into the spring arm and raise against the stop before removing a protective window or lamp. (See Sections 4 & 5) The suspension system has joints and pivots, which may create pinch points. Keep body parts away when these are in motion.
