All rack and instructor stations shall include "security type" screws to secure rack- mounted components.

In rooms containing wireless microphones or assisted listening system, provide an antenna distribution system inclusive of remote antennas as needed to support transparent coverage throughout the space(s).

In rooms containing auto tracking camera systems, provide one (1) day of manufacturers set up and programming.

Provide a spare replacement lamp for each projector specified.

3.1.2 Physical Installation:

Provide system identification plate. Plate shall occupy the first available rack unit in all AV equipment racks. If more than two (2) racks are positioned together, one (1) plate for every two racks is acceptable. All equipment shall be firmly secured in place unless requirements of portability dictate otherwise. Unless granted specific permission by the Owner, install and secure all boxes, equipment, etc., plumb and square.

Fastenings, mounting brackets and supports shall be adequate to support their loads with a safety factor of at least five (5). A safety chain or cable will be tied to all equipment suspended from above.

In the installation of equipment and cable, consideration shall be given not only to operational efficiency, but also to overall aesthetic factors.

3.2 AUDIOVISUAL CABLE INSTALLATION

All cables, regardless of length, shall be marked with wraparound cable markers at both ends. There shall be no unmarked cables at any place in the system. Marking codes used on cables shall correspond to codes shown on "as-built" drawings and/or run sheets. The labeling and numbering system will be coordinated with the Owner.

Provide outdoor rated cabling for any cable that passes through an on-grade floorbox or is required to be under-grade.

All Category cabling for AV systems shall be 6A shielded, with orange IDC jacks.

All wired microphones shall include a 30ft. patch cable with heavy-duty jacket and XLR connectors.

Loudspeakers operating at 8 ohms shall be installed with 12AWG cable as a minimum size/ diameter.

Wall plate and floor box input/output panels shall be installed with audio/ video line drivers on runs exceeding 35ft.

All cabling shall be neatly strapped, dressed, and adequately supported.

Any exposed cabling shall be neatly enclosed in a protective covering.

All audio signal lines shall be balanced at AV I/O plates. Provide ninety

(90) degree connector adapters for all AV cabling at custom AV I/O plates.

All cables shall be grouped according to the signals being carried. In order to reduce signal contamination, separate groups shall be formed for the following cables:

Power cables

RGBHV, Video cables and Control cables

Data cables (when applicable)

Audio cables carrying low level signals

Audio cables carrying line and high level signals

Supply cables as required to meet system performance standards. Any cabling installed in walls or ceilings shall be plenum rated. All cables shall be cut to the length dictated by the run plus the required service loop to permit future equipment movement and relocation. For equipment mounted in drawers or on slides, the interconnecting cables shall be provided with a service loop of appropriate length.

No cable shall be installed with a bend radius less than that recommended by the cable manufacturer. Notify the construction manager in the event that a field condition interferes with the proper installation of any cables or equipment.

Grounding Procedures: In order to minimize problems resulting from improper grounding and to achieve maximum signal-to-noise ratios, the following grounding procedures shall be adhered to:

General: Because of the great number of possible variations in grounding systems, follow good engineering practice, as specified herein, and to deviate from these practices only when necessary to minimize crosstalk and to maximize signal-to- noise ratios in the audio, video, and control systems. Inform the Consultant in the event that there is a deviation from the standard grounding practices prior to actually performing the work.

System Ground: A single "system ground" shall be established for the system. All grounding conductors shall connect to this system ground.

The system ground shall be provided in the equipment rack, and shall consist of a copper bar of sufficient size to accommodate all secondary ground conductors.

A copper conductor, having a maximum of 0.1 Ohms total resistance, shall connect the system ground bar to the nearest grounded, metallic electrical conduit of at least 2 inches in diameter. Be responsible for determining if the metallic conduit is properly electrically bonded to the building ground system, and shall show the grounding path of a document that is provided with the system documentation.

Secondary system grounding conductors shall be provided from all ungrounded equipment in each area, to the primary system grounding point for the area. Each of these grounding conductors shall have a maximum of 0.1 Ohms total resistance.

Under no conditions shall the AC neutral conductor, either in the power panel or in a receptacle outlet, be used for a system ground.

Audio Cable Shields: All balanced audio cable shields shall be grounded at one point only. For ungrounded portable equipment, such as microphones, the shield shall be connected at both ends but grounded at only one end.

Video Receptacles: All video receptacles shall be insulated from the mounting panel, outlet box, or wire way.

Non-continuous cable supports

Audiovisual cables shall be supported AFC with adjustable non-continuous cable supports.

Non-continuous cable supports shall provide a bearing surface of sufficient width to comply with required bend radii of audiovisual cables.

Non-continuous cable supports shall have flared edges to prevent damage while installing cables.

Installation and configuration shall conform to the requirements of the current revision levels of ANSI/ EIA/TIA Standards 568 & 569, NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), applicable local codes, and to the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Do not exceed load ratings specified by manufacturer.

Follow manufacturer's recommendations for allowable fill capacity for each size non-continuous cable support.

Non-continuous cable supports shall be J-hooks.

3.3 REPAIR/RESTORATION

Any damage to any installed work or product caused by the unpacking, transporting, assembly, connecting, or configuring of the product shall be repaired at no charge to the Owner.

3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

3.4.1 System Checkout

Once installed and the System Checkout is complete, the system shall be demonstrated as operational to the Owner.

1. If the AV system fails to meet the requirements of this document or those stated by the technical documentation, then the Owner shall reject the installed system and the contractor shall be given notice (either oral or in writing) to correct the failure.

2. If unable to overcome repeated performance deficiencies within thirty (30) days, and if requested to do so by the Owner, remove the equipment and replace at no expense to the Owner.

3. No warranties shall begin until the Owner has authorized final acceptance in writing.
