Wiring the workstation
(instructions for electricians)
The instructions for wiring a Ahrend 22 workstation are
split up into two sections - this section for electricians
and a section for the users of the workstation (see pages
6 and 7 for the users' section).
The connection of the workstation to the electricity
supply and to data and communications systems must
be done by a qualified electrician.
Standards
All Ahrend 22 furniture elements and accessories comply
with the regulations in wiring standards BS 6396/2002
and DIN VDE 0100-724.

Cable management
An Ahrend 22 workstation can be connected to the
power supply with system extension cables and sockets
(fig. 1). These accessories can be concealed tidily in the
vertical and horizontal cable guides, cable trays and
cable dumps.
Vertical guides
A flexible, vertical cable guide, which can be used inde-
pendently of the legs anywhere near or under the work-
station (fig. 2), guides the cables through two segregat-
ed channels to a cable tray or cable dump under the
table top. This means that variable height workstations
can be cabled easily and efficiently.
In the foot of the cable guide a cable clip is fitted (which
grips the cables to relieve the strain).
Horizontal guides and securing cables
The cables emerging from the vertical cable guides can
be led through cable trays or dumps (fig. 3) that can be
attached to the beam of the table.
The cable trays can run behind cable dumps, so that
these dumps can be added independently of cable trays.
Some cable trays can be opened to give access to the
cables (fig. 4).
Work surface cable holders can be attached anywhere
on the underside of a table top to guide the cables
(fig. 5).
Drawer pedestals
Desk-height pedestals are available with a cable routing
duct. This duct can be used as part of the horizontal
cable guide system (fig. 6).
