MULTI-CIRCUIT POWER<br />
How do you know when you need<br />
multi-circuit power?<br />
Clara<br />
• Need to power up long runs of workstations<br />
(up to 8 persons)<br />
• Have an open plan environment where single duplex<br />
receptacles won't be enough to service an entire<br />
room full of people<br />
• If you want to load up on heaters, curling irons,<br />
and double monitors<br />
• Have an electrician wiring your building with infeeds<br />
• Need more than one circuit for power. Our system<br />
is an 8-wire, 4-circuit system, approved for 16 amps,<br />
for a total of 64 amps per infeed<br />
See page 52 for examples of multi-circuit applications<br />

SPECIFY THE INFEED<br />
Determine the source of the building power –<br />
floor, wall, or ceiling. (hint: ask the electrician)<br />
One infeed will service up to 8 users.<br />
The infeed brings power in from the building<br />
source to a Clara table by plugging directly into<br />
a surfbag or surfboard.<br />
Infeed types:<br />
Infeed<br />
Brings power in from floor, wall, columns.<br />
NYC infeed<br />
Approved infeed for New York City to bring power<br />
in from the floor or wall<br />
Ceiling infeed<br />
Brings power in from the ceiling. Needs to be used<br />
with a ceiling feed channel.<br />
<strong>izzy</strong> does not provide ceiling feed channels,<br />
but recommend the following options:<br />
2 ADD SURFBAGS OR SURFBOARDS<br />
Connects to the building infeed and starts the<br />
distribution of power. Mounts under the Clara<br />
tables into pre-drilled holes. If power is traveling<br />
to multiple workstations, the surfbag/board<br />
MUST gang the tables together.<br />
Note: According to UL standards, each worksurface must<br />
be fastened (via Surfboard/bag) to another worksurface,<br />
back-to-back, or side-to-side for power to route. Otherwise,<br />
each pack of workstations requires an infeed, even if there<br />
are less than 8 people per pack.<br />
3 ADD WHIPS<br />
Measure the distance between the surfbags/<br />
surfboards to determine what size whip is needed<br />
to connect them together<br />
Whips<br />
Conduit to carry power from table to table.<br />
Standard in silver. Various sizes available.<br />
Surfbag<br />
Comes standard with a surfboard that contains<br />
two duplex receptacles and carries power from<br />
table to table. Ends of the surfboard connect to<br />
various sized whips. Two whips can plug into<br />
each side of the surfbag to carry power to multiple<br />
tables, in multiple directions. Users access power<br />
from duplex receptacles under Velcro ® secured<br />
opening of the PCM bag.<br />
Surfboard<br />
For a lower cost solution to the surfbag, you can<br />
order just the surfboard portion of the product. It<br />
comes without the bag and receptacles. All the<br />
utility is still there, giving a place to plug in whips<br />
to keep the power moving throughout the space.<br />
You can always add a PCM bag, receptacles, and<br />
cable keepers to retrofit for additional privacy,<br />
cable management, or power requirements.<br />
