B N Industries Sorbetti 2.0 Modular System Instruction Manual
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
GENERAL SCOPE: The Sorbetti 2.0 System can be installed in many creative and varying configurations, but the two most-used installation styles are Floor to Ceiling and Floor to Wall, in both 24″ and 48″ oncenter. Determine which method applies to the installation at hand and follow the instructions on the following pages.
PROVIDED:
Spacing Jigs
NOT PROVIDED:
Hardware to attach to floor and wall
RECOMMENDED TOOLS:
Hand Drill + necessary drill and driver bits
Levels
Tape Measure
FLOOR TO CEILING UPRIGHT
GENERAL SCOPE: Floor To Ceiling Sorbetti Upright
Assemblies are used when there is no option for the upright to be braced to a
wall. It is best to begin setup by assembling all of the Sorbetti Uprights
first.
STEP 1: Insert the Sorbetti Foot into the top and bottom of the Sorbetti Upright.
STEP 2: Height of the foot is set by adjusting the tensioning nut.
STEP 3: B+N recommends the Sorbetti Upright is mounted 4″ from the floor.
STEP 4: Position the upright assembly into its location.
Using levels to maintain level both left to right and forward to back, secure
the feet to the floor and upper support with appropriate screws (not
provided).
STEP 5: Proceed to “Spacing Uprights” to install the additional uprights.
FLOOR TO WALL UPRIGHT
GENERAL SCOPE: Floor To Wall Sorbetti Upright
Assemblies are the most secure method for installing Sorbetti 2.0. It is best
to begin setup by assembling all of the Sorbetti Uprights first.
STEP 1: Follow steps for inserting and adjusting the Sorbetti Foot on the previous page. No foot is installed at the top of the upright.
STEP 2: Determine the height to install the Tieback.
Insert the Tieback into the back side of the Upright, rotate it 90 degrees,
and lock it into position with the allen key. Repeat for additional Tiebacks.
STEP 3: B+N recommends the Sorbetti Upright is mounted 4″ from the floor.
STEP 4: Position the upright assembly into its location.
Using levels to maintain level both left to right and forward to back, secure
the foot to the floor and tie backs to the wall with appropriate screws for
the material (not provided).
STEP 5: Proceed to “Spacing Uprights” to install the additional uprights.
ATTACHING POLE PLATES
GENERAL SCOPE: Pole Plates serve two purposes. The first is to support the accessory. It does so using a locking taper, which creates an incredibly strong and rigid connection. The second purpose of the Pole Plate is to deliver power to the accessory. Pole Plates can be installed on any of the 4 surfaces of the upright, at any location on the vertical.
STEP 1: To install a Pole Plate, first align the locking nut and electrical connector on the back of the Pole Plate to a vertical position so that they can slide in between the channel of the upright.
STEP 2: Determine the height of the accessory being installed and slide the Pole Plate up or down into position. Using the supplied allen key, lock the the Pole Plate into position. Note: To aid creating matching and level Pole Plates on an additional upright, please see the following page “Spacing Uprights.”
STEP 3: If the accessory requires power, insert the Electrical Key into the circular electrical connector slot.
STEP 4: Rotate the key 90 degrees until resitance is felt. The Pole Plate is now powered and ready for an accessory.
SPACING UPRIGHTS
GENERAL SCOPE: After installing the first upright, additional uprights can be installed easily with the aid of the Spacing Jig.
STEP 1: Verify that the first upright is installed level both left to right and forward and back.
STEP 2: Borrowing four Pole Plates from the accessories on hand, add one set towards the lower portion of the installed upright and the to be installed upright. Add a second set higher up. Fully tighten the Pole Plates on the first upright, but leave the Pole Plates on the next upright slightly loose so they can be easily repositioned.
STEP 3: Place the next upright into its approximate desired location. Slide a Spacing Jig down onto a matching set of Pole Plates.
STEP 4: Level the Spacing Jig and tighten the corresponding Pole Plate. Repeat for the additional Pole Plates and Jig. The next upright is now correctly spaced.
STEP 5: Verify the next upright’s level and screw the upright into position. Repeat steps for additional uprights.
POWERING UPRIGHTS
GENERAL SCOPE : Power is supplied to the Sorbetti Upright by means of a
Power Connector attached to a driver. The Power Connector can be attached to
any of the four sides of the upright and anywhere along the vertical. It is
recommended to be attached in the most inconspicuous spot available with
easiest access for the driver and power outlet.
Generally one driver powers one upright. Up to four uprights can be chained to
together and powered by one driver for low voltage situations. Please speak to
a B+N representative to discuss the best solution for your needs.
STEP 1: To attach a Power Connector, first determine the best location. Then with the open circle “OFF” symbol on the connector pointing up, insert the prongs of the Power Connector into the upright.
STEP 2: Rotate the Power Connector 90 degrees clockwise until the white dot “ON” symbol is located at the top. The connector is now ready to supply power to the upright.
STEP 3: Connect the Power Connector to the driver, and the driver to an outlet. Cord management to be handled by the installer. The Sorbetti Upright is now live and ready.
INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
GENERAL SCOPE: After installing the Sorbetti Uprights and powering them, it is time for the fun part… installing accessories!
STEP 1: Determine which accessory is being installed and where it will be installed.
STEP 2: If installing a spanning accessory, use the Spacing Jig by following the “Spacing Uprights” instructions to properly install the Pole Plates.
STEP 3: All spanning accessories receive their power from the left side.
Turn “On” the left side Pole Plate following instructions on “Attaching Pole
Plates.”
Accessories like Face Outs require one powered “On” Pole Plate.
STEP 4: Simply lower the accessories down onto the Pole Plates. The accessory will fully seat on the Pole Plate taper and become rigid and light up.
INSTALLING CABINETRY
GENERAL SCOPE: Installing the larger cabinets requires a slightly different approach than installing smaller accessories. It is recommended the install is done with two people lifting. Also these wooden cabinets use two Pole Plates per side.
STEP 1: Determine where the cabinet will be installed.
To calculate the distance between Pole Plates vertically, measure the
cabinet’s Back Plates from top to top. This will be the Pole Plate
installation distance.
STEP 2: Install the Pole Plates on the left side, using the measured distance from Step 1. Install the second set of Pole Plates on the right side using the “Spacing Jig” instructions to insure proper height.
NOTE: None of the Pole Plates will need to be powered to “ON.”
STEP 3: Using two people, lift the cabinet up and over, positioning the Back Plates on the sides of the cabinet just above their corresponding Pole Plate.
STEP 4: Lower the cabinet into its final position. Verify final level of cabinet and readjust Pole Plates if needed.
STEP 4: Powering the lower LED light is accomplished by attaching the included Power Connector to the back side of the Sorbetti Upright following directions from “Powering Uprights.”
