How to Install the DS2AD AED Cabinet

Checking Components

Before beginning installation, ensure you have all the necessary components. Check the instruction manual for a full list, which should include:

• Bolts and tubing
• Plug and washers
• Instruction leaflet with access code

Tip: Take a photo of the access code for future reference.

Choosing the Installation Location

Select a solid structure such as a brick or block wall. Avoid mounting on weak surfaces like wooden fences that may shift or degrade over time.

Consider visibility and accessibility:

• Choose a well-lit area.
• Ensure the cabinet is easily visible and not obscured by plants.
• Position at a reachable height for easy access.

Marking and Drilling

Use the provided template to mark the drill points.

1. Attach the template to the wall using sticky pads or Blu Tack.
2. Use a spirit level to ensure the template is perfectly aligned.
3. Mark the drill points.
4. Drill 105mm deep holes using a 16mm drill bit for the fixing bolts.
5. Drill a 20mm hole for the power cable, angling slightly upward to prevent water ingress.

Installing the Cabinet

Follow these steps for securing the cabinet:

1. Insert the bolts into the drilled holes, ensuring they fit snugly.
2. Feed the power cable through the designated hole.
3. Align the cabinet with the holes and insert the bolts loosely.
4. Check alignment using a spirit level.
5. Once correctly positioned, fully tighten the bolts.

Connecting the Power Supply

The cabinet comes with a plug, but it is recommended to hardwire it into the mains to prevent accidental disconnection.

• Use a qualified electrician for any electrical work.
• If using a plug, label the socket with “Do Not Unplug” to prevent accidental power loss.

Testing the Cabinet

Check the indicator light inside the cabinet:

• Flashing green: Cabinet is functioning correctly.
• Flashing red: Indicates a fault—refer to the troubleshooting guide.
• No light: Check power supply and consult an electrician if needed.

Final Steps

Once the power supply is verified:

1. Place the AED inside the cabinet.
2. Securely lock the cabinet.
3. Ensure it remains dry, secure, and operational for emergencies.

The DS2AD cabinet is now correctly installed, providing a reliable and protected storage solution for your AED.
