Figure 1. Run Bar Location
Mount the DUO-TOUCH Run Bar to maximize its ergonomic
design and minimize the possibility of defeat.
To minimize the possibility of defeat, ISO 13851 (EN 574)
recommends that the hand controls be arranged on a
horizontal (or nearly horizontal) surface, 1100 mm (43.3")
above the floor. The Run Bar makes this installation easy.
To maximize ergonomics, ANSI B11.TR1 recommends that
for light to normal work the position should be 50 to 100 mm
(2" to 4") above or below elbow height. Elbow height should
be determined and adjusted for each individual operator.
Anthropometric tables provide a range for guidance (see
ANSI B11.TR1 Annex A):
Tilting the run bar (using the bracket’s multiple-hole
adjustment) allows for varying operator heights while
maintaining a neutral wrist position. This rotation should not
exceed ±30º, especially when an emergency stop button is
mounted on the top of the run bar. Hand and wrist posture is
considered to be neutral when the hand is neither flexed nor
extended beyond about 15º of the normally relaxed position.

Figure 3. ANSI BII.TR1 Recommended Maximum Reach Distances
Per ANSI B11.TR1, the most desirable location for controls
used by a standing operator is a position directly in front of
the operator, and at a height between chest and waist
level. Frequent reaches should nominally be made within
350 to 450 mm (14" to 18") from the center of the shoulder
to the run bar. Only occasional reaches should be made
within 550 to 650 mm (22" to 26"); avoid reaches farther
than 650 mm (26"), see Figure 2.
