How to Install Your DS3 Defibrillator Cabinet: Step-by-Step Guide

Installing your **DS3 defibrillator cabinet** requires careful preparation and attention to detail. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure your defibrillator cabinet is securely installed and ready for use.

1. Read the Instructions

Before starting the installation, **read through the instructions carefully**. Make sure you understand the steps involved, and ensure all parts and screws are accounted for after unpacking the unit.

2. Choose the Installation Site

Select a suitable location for the cabinet. Ideally, it should be mounted on a **solid brick wall**, providing a secure and stable background. Ensure the site has access to mains power, whether plugged in or hardwired by a **qualified electrician**. Avoid attempting electrical work yourself.

Check for Hazards

Before drilling, use a detector to ensure there are no cables, water pipes, or gas lines beneath the surface.

3. Mark and Drill the Holes

• Hold the **main sign** against the wall, ensuring it is at the correct height.
• Use a **spirit level** to ensure the cabinet is level.
• Mark the drilling points using a **fine felt-tip pen** through the holes on the sign.

Once marked, remove the sign and **drill the holes** using a hammer drill. Follow the instructions for the correct depth and drill size.

4. Install the Wall Plugs and Backboard

Insert the **wall plugs** into the drilled holes and ensure they are flush with the wall. Next, mount the **backboard**, starting with the top screw to support the weight. Then, secure the backboard with the remaining screws, ensuring all are tightened properly.

5. Mount the DS3 Defibrillator Cabinet

With the help of a second person, align the **defibrillator cabinet** with the mounting bracket. Gently slide the cabinet down into place, ensuring it is fully secured. Insert the **grub screw** using the provided tool to prevent the cabinet from being lifted off the bracket.

6. Connect the Electrical Supply

**Electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician.** For the purpose of demonstration, the unit can be temporarily plugged in. Once connected, the **green light** on the cabinet will indicate that it is powered and ready to use.

7. Test the Defibrillator Cabinet

After connecting the power, test the unit by entering the **default code (1234)**. If the unit opens and the green light is active, the defibrillator cabinet is functioning correctly. The next step is to place the defibrillator inside and complete any additional testing.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can ensure that your **DS3 defibrillator cabinet** is properly installed, secure, and fully functional. Always remember to have the electrical connection handled by a professional to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
