6.1.2 Mount Using Screws
The rear surface of the bed beacon has two keyhole shaped openings that are 5


inches on center.
Locate the position and height on the wall where the bed beacon will be mounted. Mark the location for
the first mounting screw. Then, measure left or right 5
11
16

inches and mark the location of the second
mounting screw. Use a level to verify that the screw locations lineup parallel to the floor.
The keyhole openings will accept #6 or #8 screws and it is advisable to use properly sized wall anchors.
Using a correctly sized drill bit, drill a hole in the wall for each mounting screw at the locations marked.
Be aware that the wall at the head of a patient bed may contain gas lines. Insert the wall anchors into the
wall and then install the screws. Both screws will need a gap between the base of the screw’s head and
the surface of the wall. Start with about 1/8 of an inch.
Attach the bed beacon to the wall by lining up the large portion of the keyhole openings with the mounting
screw heads and push the bed beacon flush against the wall. Then, gently slide the bed beacon towards
the floor until the smaller portion of the keyhole openings make contact with the shaft of both mounting
screws.
If the bed beacon is not in tight contact with the wall, remove the bed beacon and tighten both mounting
screws a little more to reduce the gap between the screw’s head and the surface of the wall.
