Is ANIMATE easy to install?
ANIMATE refers to a system of components that when combined can power your furniture and bring it to life, allowing people to charge their mobile devices anywhere – whether mobile or fixed.
• Electrically, it is a complete “Plug and Play” system, requiring little or no electrical training and tool-less installation.
• Physically, the QIKFIT-style modules are all “Press and Click” installed (without tools) into a single style letterbox cutout 41.5mm wide, in 1-3mm thick material (although we have many adaptors to mount it into thicker materials such as wood, laminate or other materials if required).
• The ARC chargers either need a simple 80mm hole for through surface tool-less installation or have adhesive pads (with optional screw fixing) for the sub-surface ARC-H chargers.
Within the ANIMATE range, there are: Mains Socket Modules (5 international socket styles), USB Charging Modules, Power Supply Modules, Battery Modules and Wireless Chargers – all of which can be installed without tools into their respective cutouts. But these are just part of a bigger QIKFIT range of products, that fit the same format cutout, which includes Data/AV Connections, Switch Modules, MCB/RCD Protection Modules and Emergency Stop Modules plus infinitely customisable Blank Modules. By simply extending the length of the 41.5mm letterbox cutout, more ANIMATE modules can be fitted in-line with each other, to provide an extremely space-efficient solution.
