Horizontal bed head unit Alpha

wall-mountedmodular

“Alpha” is a system developed by ESCO to quickly and easily mount a variety of electrical outlets and controls in attractive 120mm high modular Medical Service Panels. With this system, items such as ESCO’s general purpose outlets (GPO’s), residual current devices (RCD’s), data/comms sockets, nurse call and medical gas outlets may be placed side by side in one enclosure while still maintaining segregation where required. “Alpha” wall boxes are manufactured from galvanised steel and are fitted with adjustable depth component mounting grids to suit various thicknesses of wall cladding or render. Knockouts are provided in each module together with provision for fitting segregation plates between modules if required. In some health care facilities it may be desirable to group different services such as power, data, medical gases etc side by side but with individual face plates. With both “Alpha” and “Beta” systems, this may be accomplished by strapping standard wall boxes together so that the related face plates abut one another with only the addition of a 5mm wide trim strip in between. Apart from the advantage of maintaining accurate spacing, the formed metal strips also hold the individual boxes in a straight line during wall installation. Component Mounting To facilitate the mounting of equipment in the wall box, unique adjustable depth grids are provided in the top and bottom of the box. This method of mounting equipment to the box and not the metal face plate provides not only safety for maintenance staff, but a simple and effective way of adjusting equipment depth relative to the finished wall surface for the initial installer.
