General Information:

• Conduct all operations SLOWLY. Safe operation requires moving panels into place one at a time.
• Spring-Loaded Mechanism: This system utilizes a spring transmission. When operating the lever, a single downward pressure of 90° will simultaneously engage both the top and bottom acoustic seals.
• Avoid stopping while moving the panels through intersections. The carriers may stop in an intersection and appear stuck. If this happens, push panel back in the direction from which it came and try again.
• For the best acoustical seal (47dB) and proper alignment, it is important to maintain constant pressure against the edge of the panel while setting seals.

SETTING UP A PARTITION (DEPLOYMENT)

A typical partition consists of basic panels, an optional pass door, additional basic panels, and a closure panel.

1. Positioning the Panels

• Stand in the center of the panel face. Using both hands, grasp it by the edges as high as possible and gently pull it toward you.
• Carefully maneuver the panel out of the storage area.
• Move the panel down the track to the required position.
• Once in place, push it firmly against the adjacent wall or panel to ensure a tight vertical joint. You may place your foot against the bottom of the panel to hold it in place while you operate the sealing mechanism.

2. Engaging the Acoustic Seals (Spring-Loaded Mechanism)

• Locate the Operating Lever on the vertical edge of the panel.
• Grasp the lever firmly.
• Operation: Press the lever down in a single, smooth motion approximately 90 degrees.
  • Note: This action utilizes the spring transmission to simultaneously compress the top seal against the track and extend the bottom seal into the floor, achieving the rated 47dB sound reduction.
• You should feel the mechanism lock into place.
• Remove your hand. The lever is designed to stay in the lowered position when engaged.
• Repeat with remaining panels.

3. Closure Panel

• Move the last panel (Closure Panel) into place.
• Press the Operating Lever down 90° to expand the jamb and complete the acoustic seal against the wall.

STACKING / STORING THE PARTITIONS (RETRACTION)

1. Retracting the Seals

• WARNING: DO NOT MOVE PANELS IF THE SEALS ARE NOT RETRACTED - PERMANENT DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
• Locate the Operating Lever on the vertical edge of the Closure Panel.
• Operation: Lift the lever upwards from its locked position.
  • Note: The spring transmission will automatically retract the bottom floor seal and release the top ceiling seal.
• Once the lever returns to the vertical (up) position, the seals are fully retracted.
• Repeat this process for all panels in the bank.

2. Storing

• Once all levers are vertical and seals are retracted, gently push the panels back towards the storage stack.
• Ensure panels are neatly aligned and do not obstruct walkways.
