COORDINATION
A.
The AV Contractor shall coordinate this work with the other electrical work and the work of other
trades.
B.
Locations shown on AV Drawings are approximate. Refer to Architectural drawings for dimensions.
FABRICATION
A.
Design/Engraving:
1.
All equipment controls, receptacles and all indicators shall have, unless otherwise noted,
lamacoid, permanently engraved, or silk screened fully descriptive identification labels. The
resolution of silk screened labels shall not be less than 90,000 dots/sq. in.
2.
The word "engraved" shall mean that the identification shall be engraved into the indicated
panel, plate or control surface.
3.
All engraving shall be with 5/32" high characters, unless otherwise noted, and shall be filled
with engraver's enamel of a contrasting color.
B.
Custom Plates:
1.
Receptacles shall be screwed, bolted or flush-riveted to the plate.
2.
Plates shall be marked to indicate function and circuit of the receptacle, for example:
MICROPHONE.
C.
Terminals and Terminations:
1.
Microphone cables shall not be spliced or otherwise interrupted from termination to
termination. All cables shall have visible adhesive identifying markers on each end.
2.
Wiring in terminal cabinets shall be tied and clamped neatly to backboards or cableforms.
3.
Terminals shall, unless otherwise specified, be one of the following types:
a.
Wire-wrap type terminal block.
b.
Barrier strips with screw terminals.
4.
Each terminal strip shall have a legibly marked identification strip.
D.
Structural Assemblies:
1.
Provide holes required for securing other components or assemblies to structural steel
framing and for passage of other components through steel framing members as shown on
final shop drawings. Cut, drill or punch holes perpendicular to metal surfaces. Do not flame
cut holes or enlarge holes by burning.
2.
In fabricating mounting brackets and other steel components requiring bends, the radii of the
bends shall not be less than three times the thickness of the steel being bent.
3.
All bolts and nuts used in the fabrication of mounting hardware shall be Grade 5 or better.

INSTALLATION
A.
General:
1.
Keep the job adequately staffed at all times. Designate a field supervisor to be present on the
job site and in responsible charge during all phases of installation and check out. Maintain
same supervisor throughout the execution of the work unless circumstances beyond the
control of the AV Contractor intervene.
2.
Install the system in cooperation with other trades in order to achieve coordinated progress
and satisfactory final results. Watch for conflicts with work of other trades on the job.
3.
Execute without claim for extra payment, moderate moves or changes as are necessary to
accommodate other equipment or preserve symmetry and pleasing appearance.
4.
The AV Contractor shall do all cutting and patching necessary for proper installation of the
system and shall repair any damage done by himself or his workmen. Any required
penetration of slabs or CMU walls shall be made by a cutting method rather than by a
concussive method.
5.
On completion, remove all rubbish and unused materials from the premises and clean the
premises and all equipment where dirtied by removing all dirt, dust, stains and fingerprints.
B.
Equipment Racks:
1.
Supply completely assembled and fully shop-tested racks with all internal wiring completed
as required to provide a complete system, to the extent that such items are not provided by
others.
2.
Install rack mounted equipment with black 10-32 star post drive security screws head screws
with nylon washers, Middle Atlantic HTX or equivalent.
3.
Wiring internal to equipment racks shall be installed neatly and bundled according to
function. Separate power cables as far as possible from microphone level and line level signal
cables. Provide lacer bars, horizontal cable managers, and vertical cable managers where

Reporting: Upon completion of above tests and any necessary adjustments, submit a written
report presenting test results for review by the Consultant prior to acceptance testing, final
tuning, and demonstration. With this report, submit written certification that the installation
conforms to the requirements stated herein, is complete in all respects, and is ready for
inspection, testing, and final tuning.
TEST, TUNING, AND EQUALIZATION PROCEDURE
A.
Test Phase:
1.
Upon approval of the preliminary test report by the Consultant, schedule the initial postconstruction Consultant site visit. During the visit, demonstrate the operation of each major
component of the system and the completed installation. After demonstration, assist as
required in the following acceptance tests:
a.
Listening Tests: These tests may include speech intelligibility survey and subjective
aural evaluations by observers at various positions under various operating conditions,
using live speech and/or recorded music material.
b.
Equipment Tests: Any measurements of frequency response, distortion, noise or other
characteristics and any operational tests deemed necessary may be performed on any
item or group of items to determine conformity with these requirements.
2.
If the need for adjustment or modification becomes evident during demonstration and testing,
continue working until the installation operates fully in accordance with the requirement of
this specification. The Consultant will prepare a punch list detailing any deficiencies found
during the test phase.
3.
The tuning and equalization procedure shall only take place once all work has been
completed and tested by the Consultant.
B.
Tuning and Equalization Phase:
1.
After punch list items identified in the test phase have been completed, assist the Consultant
in performing the tuning and equalization phase.
2.
During the tuning and equalization phase, AV system components shall be adjusted by the
contractor under the direction of the Consultant to optimize the performance of the AV
systems. The Contractor will document all changes and include them in the as built drawings.
The AV systems installation will not be considered complete until Consultant has completed
the system commissioning.
3.
The tuning and equalization phase requires that the location of the Work be absolutely quiet.
No other work may be performed during the procedure, except that which generates no noise.
If the room is not quiet upon the arrival of the Consultant and other work cannot be stopped
for the duration of the visit, the Consultant will reschedule the tuning and equalization
procedure at additional cost.
4.
The Contractor shall provide a technician familiar with the Work during the test, tuning, and
equalization procedure. It is estimated that this technician should be available for
approximately one eight hour day. This time shall be solely dedicated to the tuning and
equalization procedure and does not include time spent making the system functional or
completing items on the test phase punch list.
5.
The Test, Tuning, and Equalization procedure shall take place before the system is turned
over to the Owner or training occurs.
DOCUMENTATION

Project Record:
1.
The AV Contractor shall supply clean As-Built prints of the system drawings which show all
changes which were made during fabrication and installation.
2.
