Pre-Installation Information (Please read carefully before starting)

WARNING: VERIFY THAT RAILS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AMICO RAIL INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS. RAIL FAILURE WITH DEVICES MOUNTED CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

WARNING: IT IS DANGEROUS TO USE THE ARM FOR WEIGHTS OUTSIDE OF THE RATED RANGE. STRUCTURAL

FAILURE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT.

WARNING: DO NOT POSITION THE SSM MONITOR ARM ABOVE A PATIENT.

WARNING: IT SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOSPITAL, ITS CONSULTANTS AND/OR CONTRACTORS TO

DETERMINE IF THE WALL IS ADEQUATE TO SAFELY MOUNT THE SPECIFIC INSTRUMENT. THIS INCLUDES THE

SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE FASTENERS AND THE PROPER INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT

IS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR SSM MONITOR ARM. SEE RAIL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIFIC WALL CHANNEL GUIDELINE

INFORMATION.

WARNING: VERIFY THE WEIGHT OF THE DEVICE TO BE MOUNTED. SINGLE ARM SSM MONITOR ARMS ARE RATED

FOR 30 LBS (13.6 KG), DUAL ARM SSM MONITOR ARMS ARE RATED FOR 15 LBS (6.8 KG). PLEASE REFER TO WEIGHT

RATING LABEL, LOCATED EITHER ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF THE ARM ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON THE MODEL.

CHECK THAT THE DEVICE TO BE MOUNTED DOES NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT RATING. SERIOUS INJURY AND

DAMAGE TO THE ARM CAN OCCUR AS A RESULT OF OVERLOADING THE ARM ASSEMBLY.

For installation on non-Amico rails, ensure the rail is safe for the application.

If you are unsure about any part of the installation process or product use, please contact an Amico Accessories

Mounting to the MRS (Monitor Rail System)

WARNING: SUPPORT SSM ARM UNTIL THE SET SCREWS ARE

TIGHTENED, SSM ARM CAN SLIDE DOWN WHEN SET SCREWS ARE

NOT TIGHTENED.

NOTE: Top and bottom stoppers prevent the adapter from sliding

out of the MRS. To remove, the adapter must be removed from

the top with the top stopper pressed into the rail (Figure 2).

NOTE: To slide the arm vertically in the channel, lift the arm near

the monitor and push up or down at the adapter (Figure 1).

1. Support the bottom of the arm with one hand, guide the adapter

into the top of the channel (Figure 1).

2. Once the arm is at the desired height, tighten the two set screws

located at the bottom of the adapter using a 1/8" (3 mm) HEX key.

DO NOT release the SSM Monitor Arm until the two set screws

are tight. The SSM Monitor Arm may slide down the rail if the set

screws are not tightened.

Section 2: Installation on Rail Systems

Mounting to Hill-Rom Vertical Rail (with the G-Track Adapter (GTA))

WARNING: TO PREVENT THE ADAPTER FROM FALLING DOWN THE CHANNEL, ENSURE THAT THE SCREWS ARE

FASTENED AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE. AFTER INSTALLATION, ROTATE THE SSM ARM SIDE TO SIDE AND VERIFY NO

MOVEMENT IS PRESENT BETWEEN THE ADAPTER AND THE RAIL.

WARNING: REMOVAL OF LOCK NUTS WILL REQUIRE A NEW SET FOR REINSTALLATION. PLEASE CONTACT AMICO

ACCESSORIES FOR SPARE PARTS, 1-877-264-2697.

NOTE: Before installing, ensure two regular nuts and two lock nuts are loosened to the tip of the G-adapter

screws. This will allow the head of the G-adapter screws to adjust into the profile of the Hill-Rom rail (Figure 3).

1. Support the bottom of the SSM Arm and guide the head of the top screw into the opening of the rail

(Figure 1 and 2).

2. Ensure the flange on the GTA is properly aligned with the rail. Slide the GTA up so that the head of the bottom

screw slides into the opening of the rail (Figure 3).

3. Position the SSM Arm at the desired height. Tighten the two regular nuts and then the two lock nuts on the top and

bottom of the adapter using a 12 mm socket wrench.

4. Cover the nuts with the two plastic caps provided (Figure 4).

allow the head of the V-adapter screws to adjust into the profiles of the vertical rail.

1. Angle the SSM Arm from either side and guide the heads of the top and bottom screws into the channel of the rail

(Figure 1-3)

2. Ensure the flange on the adapter is properly aligned with the rail.

3. Position the arm to the desired height and fasten two knobs and two nuts (12 mm) to the tightest possible position.
