Bewkes 231 setup (3 computers)

Room setup, computers #1 and #2

Computer #2. Motion detector sits on edge of bench facing aisle

For setups inside the lab, the motion detector can simply stand on the bench. No clamp required.

Flip up the top portion and set all motion detectors to 'human' mode!

Place drafting board, meter stick and 30-m tape on bench near each setup (or on hallway carts)

Computer #3 on the sink. It's better to sit on something, such as the cart and overhead projector, to move away from the board

Need 6' extension cord or power strip
Hallway setup (3 computers)

Computers #4, 5, 6: three carts in hallway

Computer #4. Use wooden computer carts.
Power comes from hallway
(motion detector attachement shown is no longer used)

Motion detector mounted on cart;
It's a lot easier to use a wood platform than a clamp!
#4 & 6 are mounted on right side of cart, #5 on left side

Computer #5. Motion detector mounted on left side.

Power for computer #5 comes from Bewkes 204 via 25' extension cord

Computer #6. Power in hallway
Bewkes 202 setup (2 computers)

If needed, two additional setups in Bewkes 202

Computer #7. Note motion detector on wood platform.
Make sure it sits above left-handle of drawer

A wood platform is needed for #7 and #8 to clear bench obstructions
