PART 3 EXECUTION 3.01 INSTALLATION A. Wiring Method: Install wiring in raceway except within consoles, desks, and counters; and except in accessible ceiling spaces and in gypsum board partitions, where cable wiring method may be used. Use UL-listed plenum cable in environmental air spaces including plenum ceilings. Conceal cable and raceway wiring except in unfinished spaces. B. Install cables without damaging conductors, shield, or jacket. C. Do not bend cables, in handling or in installing, to smaller radii than minimums recommended by manufacturer. D. Pull cables without exceeding cable manufacturer's recommended pulling tensions. 1. Pull cables simultaneously if more than one is being installed in same raceway. 2. Use pulling compound or lubricant if necessary. Use compounds that will not damage conductor or insulation. 3. Use pulling means, including fish tape, cable, rope, and basket-weave wire or cable grips that will not damage media or raceway. E. Install exposed raceways and cables parallel and perpendicular to surfaces or exposed structural members, and follow surface contours. Secure and support cables by straps, staples, or similar fittings designed and installed so as not to damage cables. Secure cable at intervals not exceeding 30 inches and not more than 6 inches from cabinets, boxes, or fittings. F. Wiring within Enclosures: Provide adequate length of conductors. G. Separation of Wires: Separate speaker-microphone, line-level, speaker-level, and power wiring runs. Run in separate raceways or, if exposed or in same enclosure, provide 12-inch minimum separation between conductors to speaker microphones and adjacent parallel power and telephone wiring. Provide separation as recommended by equipment manufacturer for other conductors. H. Splices, Taps, and Terminations: Make splices, taps, and terminations on numbered terminal strips in junction, pull, and outlet boxes, terminal cabinets, and equipment enclosures. Install terminal cabinets where there are splices, taps, or terminations for eight or more conductors. I. Impedance and Level Matching: Carefully match input and output impedances and signal levels at signal interfaces. Provide matching networks if required. J. Identification of Conductors and Cables: Retain color-coding of conductors and apply wire and cable marking tape to designate wires and cables so all media are identified in coordination with system wiring diagrams. Label stations, controls, and indications using approved consistent nomenclature. 1. Label each cable within 4 inches of each termination and tap, where it is accessible in a cabinet or junction or outlet box, and elsewhere as indicated. 2. Label exposed cables at intervals not exceeding 15 feet. 15-089 27 52 21-15

3. Prepare cable administration drawings to show building floor plans with cable administration point labeling. Identify labeling convention and show labels for terminal hardware and positions, cables, stations and devices and equipment grounding conductors. 4. Category-6 wire termination will be connectorized according to ANSI Standard T568A using LED Dome Lights or Corridor Junctions to rooms and bus on main control. K. Grounding Provisions: Comply with requirements in Division 26 Section "Grounding and Bonding for Electrical Systems." L. Manufacturer's Field Service: A factory-authorized service representative to inspect, test, and adjust field-assembled components and equipment installation, including connections, and to assist in field testing. Report results in writing. M. Test Procedure: Comply with the following: 1. Schedule tests a minimum of seven days in advance of performance of tests. 2. Report: Submit a written record of test results. 3. Operational Test: Perform an operational system test, and demonstrate proper operations, adjustment, and sensitivity of each station. Perform tests that include originating station-to-station and all-call messages and pages at each nurse call station. Verify proper routing, volume levels, and freedom from noise and distortion. Test each available message path from each station on the system. Meet the following criteria: a. Speaker Output: 90 db plus or minus 3 db, 300 to 3000 Hz, reference level threshold of audibility 0 db at 0.02 millipascals of sound pressure. b. Gain from patient's bedside station to nurse station, with distortion less than 65 db (plus or minus 3 db, 300 to 3000 Hz). c. Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Hum and noise level at least 45 db below full output. 4. Test Procedure: a. Frequency Response: Determine frequency response of two transmission paths by transmitting and recording audio tones. b. Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Measure the ratio of signal to noise of the complete system at normal gain settings, using the following procedure: Disconnect a speaker microphone and replace it in the circuit with a signal generator using a 1000-Hz signal. Measure the ratio of signal to noise and repeat the test for four speaker microphones. c. Distortion Test: Measure distortion at normal gain settings and rated power. Feed signals at frequencies of 300, 400, 1000, and 3000 Hz into each nurse call equipment amplifier, and measure the distortion in the amplifier output. N. Retesting: Rectify deficiencies indicated by tests and completely retest work affected by such deficiencies at Contractor's expense. Verify by the system test that the total system meets these Specifications and complies with applicable standards. Report results in writing. O. Inspection: Verify that units and controls are properly labeled and interconnecting wires and terminals are identified. P. Occupancy Adjustments: When requested within 12 months of date of Substantial Completion, provide on-site assistance in adjusting sound levels and controls to suit actual occupied conditions. Provide up to three visits to Project during other-than-normal operating hours for this purpose. 27 52 21-16 15-089
