INSTALLING THE TELEVISION
Installation Precautions
For Power over Coax, use only a power source from PDi suitable for use in a healthcare facility. The single coaxial cable on top of
the TV is used to supply both low voltage AC or DC power (28VAC or 24VDC) and RF signal to the television, UNLESS the unit is
powered over ethernet.
Coax Cable Specifications
When using a central power supply, cable selection is crucial. Due to long coax cable runs encountered in hospital installations,
coax cable employing a solid copper center conductor and copper shield is required. Cable run lengths MUST NOT exceed 150 feet.
Required coaxial cable numbers include Alpha 9804C (non-plenum), Belden 9248 (non-Plenum), West Penn 806 (non-Plenum), or
West Penn 25806 (Plenum), which have been tested with coax-powered TVs.
Arm Mounting
This television is designed to attach to a PDi suspension arm.
Arm Recoil Hazard: The safety brake pin must remain in the SAFETY BRAKE PIN HOLE whenever the television is removed from
the arm or when the arm is removed from the wall bracket to prevent INJURY from the arm springing open. Note: Contact PDi for
additional information on arm compatibility and cable requirements.
