The contractor shall provide a completed conformance form for each applicable system showing testing and pass fail situation. A pass is not required, but proper execution of the conformance form is required.

i. ANSI/INFOCOMM 1 M-2009, Audio Coverage Uniformity in Enclosed Listening Areas (Board room only)

ii. ANSI/INFOCOMM 10:2013, AV Systems Performance Verification.

b. General Testing: After the final termination of all devices, check the entire system for proper functionality. Verify that the signal flow is in accordance with the system drawings and all devices are properly labeled. Confirm the proper installation and operation of all devices, including but not limited to, products, connectors, wire, tie lines, accessories, mounts and controls. Correct or re-adjust the system if any the following tests are failed. Document the test results for the following tests in the owner’s manual.

c. Audio system testing

i. Speech playback verification: Plug a vocal microphone into all microphone receptacles throughout the facility. Speak into the microphone to confirm the proper operation of each jack and the overall quality of the system.

ii. Program (music) playback verification: Play music on CD through the system. Confirm the overall quality of the system.

iii. Loudspeaker polarity: Use a polarity tester to check the correct polarity of all loudspeakers. Apply a positive pulse to a microphone input receptacle with a click generator. Measure positive polarity at all loudspeakers in the system with a polarity sensor.

iv. Loudspeaker load impedance: Measure the impedance of all loudspeaker loads in the system. Use a 1 KHz impedance meter to measure all full range speakers. Confirm that all loudspeaker loads measure within 20% of their calculated impedance readings.

v. Loudspeaker rattle: Once a loudspeaker cluster is installed and before scaffolding or lifts are re- moved, perform a rattle test. Feed the output of a sine wave oscillator to an amplifier and then to each speaker system. Turn the amplifier up so the speaker produces 85 dB SPL in the room and sweep the sine wave from 20 Hz to 20 KHz, but not below the operating range of the speaker. Confirm that there are no rattles. Report any rattles in the building structure to the owner and construction manager.

vi. Distortion: Check all audio systems to assure that they are free of distortion. Use a distortion meter if any audible distortion is noticed in the system. Confirm the entire system distortion falls below 1.5%.

vii. Noise: Check all audio systems to assure that they are free of noise. Use a dB meter if any audible noise is noticed in the system. Confirm the entire system signal to noise ratio falls below 75 dB.

viii. Oscillation, RF pickup and buzz and hum: Check all audio systems to assure that they are free of oscillation, stray RF pickup and buzz and hum due to ground loops. Use an oscilloscope to detect unwanted signals at speaker termination points in equipment racks.

d. Video system testing

i. Viewability: Play an NTSC video test tape through the video system. Confirm high quality viewability of the NTSC video on all system monitors and video projectors. If ghosting is seen confirm that all video lines are properly terminated, at the end of the line, with a 75 Ohm resister. If the video quality is poor use a waveform monitor and a vectorscope to confirm that the video signal levels falls within industry standards.

ii. Bandwidth: Play an RGBHV signal generator test signal and computer output through the video system. Confirm high quality viewability of RGBHV and VGA video on all system multi-scan monitors and video projectors. If the video quality is poor or the image is fuzzy, use an RF spectrum analyzer to confirm the entire system bandwidth falls above 150 MHz.

iii. RF field strength: Measure each RF outlet with a field strength meter. Confirm that the output level is between +6 dBm to +15 dBm at 450 MHz, or at the highest operating frequency.

iv. Oscillation,…
