RF Suppression for Audiovisual Systems Description
Definitions:
1.
Grounding: A conducting connection between an electrical circuit or
equipment and earth having sufficient current-carrying capacity to
prevent buildup of voltages that may result in undue hazards to
connected equipment or persons.
2.
Bonding: The permanent joining of metallic parts to form an electrically
conductive path that ensures electrical continuity and the capacity to
conduct safely current likely to be imposed.
3.
RF Suppression: The process of effectively protecting audio and video
circuits from Radio Frequency transmissions and the suppression of the
those transient signals to ground by means of a proper bonding path.
Responsibilities
1.
The Grounding System is to be performed by the Division 26 Electrical
Contractor.
2.
The Bonding and RF Suppression System is to be performed by the
Division 27 Audiovisual Contractor.

Auditorium used for multiple venues with three basic categories of uses;
presentation, film and theatrical.
2.
The space was scheduled for approximately 5500 hours of use last year,
venues can vary from one hour events to week long seminars. 25-30
percent of this time was scheduled as “closed”, a portion of this closed
time is used for set-up and tear down.
3.
Many University and outside entities utilize the space. Examples ranges
from:
a.
The University Presidents Office
b.
Film presentations
c.
All-Greek Meetings
d.
Science Fair
e.
Religious Services
f.
Tax Return Seminars
g.
Admissions
h.
Student Orientation
4.
CSU Staff and Student Staff are utilized in the setup and operation of the
AV systems. The experience level of the student workers are varying
and ever changing.
5.
The above information established the following goals:
a.
The space must configure with simple set up control, tools and
minor system check out.
b.
