Users and cable management
Users may themselves sometimes want to change some
aspect of the wiring of their Ahrend Portal workstation.
For example plug an item of equipment into a socket or
unplug it, or conceal surplus lengths of cable tidily.
Safety
Safety must be the prime concern in the wiring of a work
-
station. For this reason, every component that comes into
contact with wires and cables has rounded edges and the
item of furniture can be earthed as a whole.
Accidents caused by tripping over cables and flexes on the
floor can be prevented by concealing the cables in the
facilities specifically provided by the Ahrend Portal range.
Concealed cables make the workstation safer, it looks
much tidier and it is easier to clean.
Connections
Your workstation can be fitted with connections to the
power supply and to computer networks in a cable dump
suspended under the workstation (fig. 8). The workstation
hardware is plugged into sockets in these dumps, and you
can also conceal excess cable in them.
Hinged cable dumps
Cable dumps provide space in which
the excess length of equipment
and power cables can be tidily
concealed.
It may sometimes be necessary to
wheel a mobile drawer pedestal out
of the way first.
For ease of access to the cables in
them these dumps can be opened
on two sides. Release the two
sliding handles at one sides of the
cable dump and open it carefully

Maintenance
These instructions for maintenance are intended for both
the professional cleaner and the user of the workstation.
Never use benzine, acetone, turpentine, petrol or other
aggressive substances, solvents or abrasive cleansers.
Service
We advise you to contact your supplier when moving of
-
fices or reconfiguring the workstation.
Cleaning work surfaces
Normal stains (coffee, tea, pencil,
lipstick, finger marks, grease, water
soluble glue, felt tip pen ink etc.)
can be removed with a clean, damp
cloth. If necessary, a little soft soap
may be added to the water and a
soft nylon brush may be used to
treat more stubborn stains.
Solvent-based lacquer, glue, nail
varnish, ballpoint pen ink etc.
should be removed with an organic
solvent, such as methylated spirits.
Cleaning veneered work surfaces
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth if
necessary. A little soft soap may be
added to the water to treat more
stubborn stains.
Cleaning enamelled metal parts
All coloured metal parts may be
cleaned with a soft cloth, damp-
ened if necessary. More stubborn
stains caused by glue, felt tip pens,
ballpoints etc. are best treated with
lukewarm water and a little soft
soap. Methylated spirit may be used
if necessary.
by hinging.
After the necessary changes have
been made, the cable dump is
closed again by pressing it up and
then fix it by sliding both knobs in
the appropiate openings.
