SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION

The SKYTRON SkyVision Linx 300 Integration Control System installation can vary according to the
specific equipment needs of the OR facility. What is common in all installations is that video and data
input sources are routed to various outputs such as displays, video recorders, or networks providing
communication and video conferences.
This SkyVision Pre-Installation Manual provides an overview of typical installation considerations and
specific installation requirements associated with a SkyVision system.
Only SKYTRON certified technicians are authorized to install a system. The SkyVision installation team
may consist of two (2) or more technicians who coordinate with the hospital staff and local subcontractors
to complete an installation. Technicians follow specific installation details mandated by the customer and
specified in the SkyVision OPI (Order / Production / Installation) document. SKYTRON supports SkyVision
installations with thorough documentation, classroom training, and technical support.

SECTION 2. REQUIREMENTS
2-1. Environmental
The SkyVision system must be stored and operated in a clean, dust free environment. Ambient room
temperatures should be maintained between 60˚ and 75˚ Fahrenheit with non-condensing humidity
between 20% to 50%.
The SkyVision Linx 300 system components will generate up to 2900 BTU's/hr. when fully equipped and
under maximum load during peak operating times. Mechanical and HVAC designs of the SKYTRON
Nurse Documentation Center (NDC), SORIC system, and Third Party provided versions must address
heating, ventilation and exhaust requirements in a manner consistent with the operational requirements
of the SkyVision system. When installing the system within custom cabinetry or a NDC, a minimum of
50 cfm through a 12" square opening is required for constant return HVAC. This will allow the systems
to operate within the equipment temperature specifications and ensure product performance, reliability,
and longevity.

2-2. Power
The SKYTRON Linx 300 System requires two (2)120VAC/20A, GFCI protected outlets. One circuit is
dedicated to the component rack and the second circuit is dedicated to the monitor power supplies.
All receptacle outlet strips, adapters, receptacle covers, and faceplates shall be marked with the following
words or equivalent:
WARNING - TECHNICAL POWER
DO NOT connect to lighting equipment
For electronic equipment use only
60/120VAC
GFCI protected
The Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) that is provided for power conditioning on the Linx 300 system
is not designed for use with Isolated Power Supply systems.

2-3. Grounding
SKYTRON requires a minimum 10 AWG copper ground wire to be provided to the 12" x 12" junction box
for connection to the equipment rack.
Refer to Article 647.6(B) (Grounding Conducters Required for Sensitive Electronic Equipment) of the NEC.
Permanently wired utilization equipment and receptacles shall be grounded by means of an equipment
grounding conductor run with circuit conductors to an equipment grounding bus prominently marked
"Technical Equipment Ground" in the originally branch circuit panel board.

NOTICE
It is the responsibility of the contractor to provide sufficient backing/studs in
the wall to support the rack (the rack does NOT stand on the floor).
An alternative to mounting directly to the studs is to mount plywood to the entire wall and use toggle bolts
to mount the rack to the plywood.
Whatever method is used to mount the rack, the contractor is responsible for making sure it will hold the
minimum structural required load of 500 pounds.

2-5. Display Power Management

• The SKYTRON Panasonic and Foreseeson's (FSN) displays can be powered in one of two ways:
• Mount the low voltage power supply onto the display bracket powered by a low leakage 120VAC
power line (P/N H5-010-71) run through the boom arm. Mounting the power supply in the back of the
display provides open service access to the power supply. Mounting the power supply at this location
may not be desirable by the customer for aesthetic reasons, therefore, customer approval is required
for this mounting configuration.
• Place the low voltage power supply in a hospital provided NEMA 4 enclosure located in the ceiling
or at the equipment rack and run the low voltage power line through the boom arm to the display.
• The Optik View 24" displays come with a power supply and includes 75 feet of cable. The power
supply should be located remotely, such as a hospital provided NEMA 4 enclosure (supplied by others)
located in the ceiling.
• The remote location of the FSN 24" and 26" display power supply is limited to 75 feet (cable length)
(PN MON-CBL-001).
• The remote location of the Panasonic 26" display power upply is limited to 90 feet (cable length)
(PN DJ-NC0275)
• For integration installations where the rack is within a 75 feet (cable length) of the display, the
power supply can be located in the rack. If not, a NEMA 4 encased power supply in the ceiling is
recommended (supplied by others).
• The minimum size NEMA 4 enclosure for each power supply is 14”L x 12”W x 7”H (L-Com Global
Connectivity – Model: NB1207-10FS-UL or equivalent).
• Appropriate power supplies and cables required for displays not provided by SKYTRON must be
provided by the equipment vendor to meet the specific needs of the display location.
• Not all displays use low voltage power supplies. Larger displays (typically 32" and above) normally
use direct 120VAC input from an outlet as they are intended to be wall mounted. Remote cable kits are
not intended for use with these displays as they do not use external low voltage power.

2-6. Optional Equipment

a. Image/Video Capture Devices
The SkyVision system offers a Digital Capture Streaming System ( SVIS-DCSS) for digital capture and
streaming, however, some hospitals will maintain existing capture devices and cameras.
When the capture device is located close to the camera, connections can be made by a short copper cable
(provided by the Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) vendor). Typically, the capture device is located at the
nurse’s station, far from the camera. The appropriate cable between the camera and the capture device
must be provided by the equipment vendor. The SkyVision system will process the capture device output
signal, rather than the camera output signal (to maximize functionality), and route the output signal, as
limited by the technology of the capture device unless specified otherwise on the OPI document.
If a printer is used with this capture device, the cable between the capture device and the printer is supplied
by the hospital or by the MIS vendor, if the printer was part of the purchase agreement.

SkyVision Linx 300 Pre-Install • REV2

 Page 11

b. Optional Remote Trigger Image/Video Capture

Capture devices specific to endoscopic cameras allow the surgeon to capture images or video using the
trigger on the camera. This method is limited to capturing only the camera source as the surgeon would
need to have the camera in hand when capturing. This is not a standard option to integrate with SkyVision
because of the many endoscopic vendors. Additionally, the SkyVision foot pedal option (SVIS-FTSW or
SVIS-WFTSW) can be used to capture any source that is set as the "Capture Source" at the touch panel.
The foot pedal is an available option in a wired or wireless model. If capturing endoscope images with
the endoscope trigger is required, this must be specified by the sales representative as a "special" on the
OPI documentation. The hospital must supply SKYTRON with the make and model number of the camera
and capture device so SKYTRON can verify compatibility, proper operation, and provide the required
items to quote.

c. Optional Keyboard/Mouse Switch

The KM Switch (SVIS-KM) allows a single keyboard and mouse to control up to four (4) PCs or one DCSS
and three (3) PCs.
When a DCSS is purchased in addition to the on-board PC, the KM Switch must be quoted. If the hospital
uses their PCs instead of purchasing the SkyVision PCs, they may use their keyboard and mouse instead
of the SkyVision keyboard and mouse. The hospital computer can be placed anywhere in the room with
their keyboard, mouse, and monitor. If they would like to use the SkyVision keyboard and mouse, a KM
Switch is required and the hospital PC must be located within 10 feet of the rack.

d. Additional Touch Panels

Optional second and/or third touch panels (SVIS-SECTP) may be selected with a SkyVision system
to enable the system to be operated from more than one nurse documentation station location. In this
configuration, the second and/or third touch panels are routed through the primary touch panel through
VNC connections.

2-7. Remote Rack Locations

The stock cable length for a SKYTRON SkyVision System installation is 100 feet. 200 and 300 feet cable
lenghs may be selected from the OPI document if longer cable lengths are required.
For installations requiring greater distances than 300 feet, consult with the SkyVision Product Manager
so the options can be specified and project details/requirements resolved.

SkyVision Linx 300 Pre-Install• REV2

Page 12

2-8. Connections
The SkyVision system connects multiple types of video sources (VGA, DVI, SDI, HD-SDI or S-Video/
Composite) to the control rack through conduit runways over single strand multi-mode optical fibers via
source conversion faceplates (Figure 5) located near the source. The conversion faceplates are installed
in the boom arm equipment carriers or in double-gang electrical wall boxes (Figure 6) depending on the
location of the source. The conversion faceplates convert a copper wire signal (digital or analog) to a
fiber-optic digital signal. Low voltage power lines are the only other type of connection utilized to and from
the SkyVision system. Copper wiring is only employed between components at the rear of the SkyVision
control rack. See Figure 7 and for a typical system build drawing set (plan and elevation views) that shows
a layout of the affected room(s), equipment, and cable routing.
