Table height

A range of leg models
Ahrend 1030 tables are available as fixed height models or in a height-adjustable version. You can see the difference in the vertical part of the table legs (figs. 1 and 2).

Fixed table height

A fixed height Ahrend 1030 table (fig.1) is a perfect meeting and conference table. A fixed table height is also ideal for the great majority of users engaged in normal office work. A fixed height of 72~cm is correct for people who are between about 1.60 and 1.75m tall (5ft 3ins to 5ft 9ins). A fixed height of 74~cm is correct for people who are between about 1.65 and 1.80m tall (5ft 5ins to 5ft 11ins).

Shorter people are advised to use a footrest; taller people should use a table in one of the height-adjustable versions.

Levelling

Every table leg in the Ahrend 1030 range has adjustable feet for levelling the table.

The maximum adjustment height is 10mm

Working out the correct table height

Sit on a table in a relaxed manner with the backs of your knees against the edge of the table. Three important dimensions can now be measured:

Dimension A: the distance from the bottom of the heel of the shoe to the top of the table.

Dimension Bthe distance from the top of the table to the underside of the elbow, sitting upright, with the arm alongside the body and bent at an angle of 90^ .

Dimension C: the distance between the top of the table and a ruler placed across the thighs, plus 5 cm. If this is greater than dimension B, you should use dimension C instead of dimension B.

The right work surface height for you is the sum of dimensions A and B (or A and C) rounded off to the nearest even number.

Height-adjustable tables (HI)

A height-adjustable Ahrend 1030 table (fig. 2) can be adjusted to suit your personal requirements. The height can be adjusted from 62 to 90~cm . In most situations, the table height is adjusted to the user of the workstation and will not be changed again afterwards. See below for instructions on how to adjust the table.

The height of your chair

Adjust the height of your chair to your requirements, indicated by A (see Determining the correct table height). Use the central point of the front edge of the seat as a reference point.

Footrest

In practice, people often find it unpleasant if their table is adjusted to a lower height than their colleagues' tables. In that case, an ergonomically correct seating arrangement is still possible by using a footrest. Then increase the height of the chair and the table by the average height of the footrest.

Reading out the height setting You can find the height setting under the edge of the upper leg section.

Adjusting the height

(leg type in fig. 2)

Press the knob halfway up the top section of each leg. If you keep the knob depressed, the lower section of the leg will slide in or out. Adjust the four legs to the desired height one by one.

The user and the wiring

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 1030 furniture elements and accessories comply with the regulations in wiring standards BS 6396/2002, ELT 9/84 and DIN 5700 part 724.

Users may themselves sometimes want to change some aspect of the wiring of their Ahrend 1030 workstation. For example plugging an item of equipment into a socket or unplugging it, or concealing surplus lengths of cable tidily.

Safety

Safety must be the prime concern in the wiring of a workstation. 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 on the floor can be prevented by concealing the cables in the facilities specifically provided by the Ahrend 1030 range. Concealed cables make the workstation safer, tidier and easier to clean.

Horizontal cabling

Cables can be led through the cable duct on the inside of the table rail (fig. 1).

Vertical cabling

There is a special vertical cable duct (fig. 2), which can be used independently of the legs to lead cables from the floor to the underside of the tabletop. This means that even height-adjustable workplaces can be cabled up simply and neatly.

Horizontal cabling

Cables can be led through the cable duct on the inside of the table rail. To do this, unscrew the tabletop clamps one at a time.

Locate the cable behind them. Then tighten the clamps again.

English
