to support beams to prevent cables being stepped upon or coming loose.

Conduits in concrete slabs

Route: Do not run in concrete toppings. Do not run within pretensioning cable
zones; cross pretensioning cable zones at right angles. Route to avoid
crossovers and minimise the number of conduits in any location. Space parallel
conduits at least 50 mm apart.
Minimum cover: Conduit diameter or 20 mm.

Conduit size: 25 mm maximum diameter. Prevent ingress of slurry.

Fixing: Fix directly to top of the bottom layer of reinforcing where the conduits
pass above a single layer of reinforcing.

Prohibited locations

Do not install cable directly into any solid structure.

5. TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

5.1. General

Setup: To aid in setup, use locally generated test signals (on the same
frequencies) to provide static conditions for level measurements. Include
tabulated results for all or key system points in submitted testing data for test
signals.

System performance: Following completion of system setup adjustments,

utilising key system points to verify settings in accordance with the design,
measure and record over the whole system.

Signal gain level: required

YOOIL Engineering Page 22

Project: Yen Bai General Hospital Specification of Electrical system – Very Low Voltage System

Carrier-to-noise measurements: required

5.2. Amplifiers

Measure and record:

- Input and output amplifier signal levels for all channels (‘output’ is main
output not the ‘test output’).
- Input and output system gain level and carrier to noise ratios of all
channels.

Commissioning:
- Adjust to ≤ -6 dB of maximum available gain.
- Operate at ≤ -6 dB relative to the published maximum output level.
- Derate amplifiers relative to the number of channels to be carried with
allowance for future expansion.
- Apply derating for second and subsequent amplifiers, where amplifiers are
to be cascaded.

5.3. Distribution components

At splitters and taps, measure and record the input, outputs and all tap ports at
minimum and maximum signal frequencies.

5.4. Outlets

At each outlet:
- Measure and record . All channel signal levels . System gain level of all
channels.
- Evaluate subjective picture and sound quality on five-grade impairment
scale.

6. COMPLETION
6.1. As Installed

On completion of system installation, testing and commissioning provide all

information to aid in the identification of components and their location. For
cable identification, use the same wording as used on installed labels. Provide
information in a suitably tabulated form with reference to the component and
position in the system clearly indicated.

Project: Yen Bai General Hospital Specification of Electrical system – Very Low Voltage System

6.2. As Installed Drawings

Provide drawings showing the system as installed. Show all relevant

information such as minimum and maximum signal frequency (channel) and
their levels at the input and output of amplifiers, splitters, taps, tap ports and
outlets.

7. COMMISSIONING VERIFICATION
7.1. General

Following submission of as installed system drawings and tabulated test

results, carry out verification of system performance with this specification and
the approved design.

7.2. Verification

Standard: The maximum allowed variation is ± 1 dB from the values recorded

during commissioning. This does not apply to terrestrial received FTA
channels where AGC is not used, but it does apply for test signals substituted
as part of the test procedure.

Methods:
- At headend and active equipment
- A repeat of commissioning tests.
- For splitters and taps at the start and end of all trunk, branch and spur
cables
- A repeat of commissioning tests.
- The total of taps so tested will be 25% of all taps. If less, then extra taps
randomly selected are to be included.
- At 25% of all outlets - a repeat of commissioning tests.
