Specification & Protocols

The Learning Station

Design, Safety and Reliability-Quality

Scope

Defines material and performance specifications for fully assembled and wired, standardized, automated, self-contained, ergonomic, mobile combination workstation-desks for classroom applications. The 12 volt dc Summerlift™ monitor lift permits the unit to work as both a computer workstation and conventional desk.

The monitor, CPU, keyboard and mouse lower behind a protective sheet metal shroud with powered (12 v dc) raising/lowering controlled by two-handed OSHA-type safety (the student user must depress two switches simultaneously to initiate Summerlift travel). Monitor height positioning is precisely accomplished by the student (does not require intervention or assistance) . Optional remote on-off Summerlift power control for teacher management of multiple student units is available.

1. Classwork with computers is safely performed with full security for components and powered precisely adjustable ergonomically responsible work heights via powered monitor raising and lowering. Summerlift incorporates dynamic braking for positive positioning. Summerlift incorporates a float-type charger on five-year lift battery.
2. Summerlift is warranted for 10,000 up/down cycles in normal use (at 8 up/down cycles per day, five days per week, provides 10,000/40 = 250 weeks)
3. No exposed sharp corners or "pinch-points".
4. Conventional student desk top capabilities are provided when computer stowed in its lowered position.

DESIGN

In computing mode, the LS 512 permit s full, normal operation of a single Tower-style PC CPU and monitor (up to 21") with keyboards and mice on a keyboard pull-out tray positioned to adjust in height with the monitor/CPU. It is a durable, rugged-service unit.

• The desktop height is adjustable so that the desk top can be moved over a 8 " height range from 28" to 36"
• For smaller students, the desk top is positioned at 28" height. The height can be varied as needed because of student height variation.
• Keyboard slide-out provides stable platform.
• Desk top is height-adjustable and at any height, slides outward to provide in excess of 16" leg clearance space.

General

In order to advance in-classroom student use of computers, workstations that replace conventional schoolroom desks, house computing equipment permitting safe, ergonomically responsible functional student use.

• Same space footprint as traditional school desks.

• Computer components (monitor, CPU, keyboard and mouse) must be protected from damage.

• Security provided for computers.

• Variances in student size require adjustable positioning of computer workstation monitor and keyboard.

• Whole unit mobility, to permit easy in-class positioning of students into study groups.
  NOTE: Type of mobility features (wheels, casters, sliders, Lift&Roll, or other) on LS-512 or LS model extensions, (LS-512P, LS-B52, LS-512PLecterns, etc), are determined by specific siting environment (i.e. - floor coverings, wired/wireless networking, etc) as described by customer.

• Combination computer workstation enclosure/desks must be safe and attractive; reliable and long-lasting, environmentally sound and economical.
