LOCATION GUIDELINES
The model PDI-P15LCDC Hospital Grade LCD TV is a specialized LCD television. This TV is
intended for entertainment and educational purposes for use in a hospital, a nursing home, a
medical-care center, or a similar health-care facility in which installation is limited to a non-
hazardous area in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The PDI-
P15LCDC is designed for mounting to PDI manufactured mounts. Installation of the TV on any
other mount is not recommended.
WARNING: The TV’s VESA mounting
holes are designed for M4 metric screws
only. Use of a non-PDI approved mount or
SAE hardware could result in a condition
where the TV could unexpectedly fall and
cause injury or death.
The PDI-P15LCDC-WR TV mounts at the foot of a patient’s bed. Select a location that is
near an AC wall outlet and that does not expose the TV to bright room lights or sunlight if
possible. The LCD TV also requires connection of both CATV cable signal and across-
room wiring for the pillow speaker.
OSHPD (State of California Only)
The combined weight of the PDI-P15LCDC-WR TV and PDI Standard Wall Mount totals less
than 20 pounds. At the time of this writing, the involvement of a written, submitted, reviewed,
and approved plan by OSHPD is not required to install the PDI-P15LCDC-WR TV in the state
of California.
CABLE SYSTEM GROUNDING
The coax cable system connected to the PDI-P15LCDC TV should be grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The code provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as practical.

14 Document Number: PD196-104 Rev 1
1. Refer to Figure 1. Select a location on the
wall approximately 7 inches below the
ceiling. Position the Wall Bracket and
locate two mounting holes. Secure the
bracket to the wall (mounting hardware is
not included).
NOTE: Do not locate AC, Across-Room
Wiring, and CATV Signal outlets below the
Wall Bracket’s location as it will cause
clearance issues and interfere with the
TV’s cabinet when mounted to the bracket.
2. Refer to Figure 2. Position the Back Mount
on the LCD TV cabinet. Attach with four
M4 screws provided.
3. Mate the Back Mount to the Wall Bracket
making sure the pivot pins are retained in
the “U” shaped slot. Using the pilfer
security driver packed with the hardware,
secure with two 10x32 pilfer screws.
4. Slide the Power Pack into the metal
holster. Connect the DC Power Plug into
the “DC 12V” connector on the back of the
TV. Connect the AC line cord.
5. Connect the Pillow Speaker Jumper Cable,
and CATV Coax Cable.
6. The TV’s tilt can be adjusted by loosening
both Pilfer Screws, adjusting tilt, and then
tighten.

A ¼” stereo style pillow speaker (pendant control) jack is located on the TV’s connector panel on the
backside. This TV is designed to work with either a digital pillow speaker that generates digital style
control codes or a single-button analog (switch-style) pillow speaker. A rear panel mounted switch
allows use of different brands of pillow speakers and supports the major brands; Zenith, Philips, and
RCA pillow speakers. Please refer to the “Pillow Speaker” section elsewhere in this manual for
details.
WARNING: DO NOT connect the pillow speaker circuit Common to earth ground.
Grounding of the Common will defeat the isolation circuitry of the television and
possibly expose the patient to harmful shock currents should a wiring fault occur.
