SDN Installation

• Up to 2 local distribution cables (LDC) and 2 MFs may be daisy-
chained to one branch (wall box).
• The maximum total length of all LDCs on a branch must be less than
15 meters (50 feet).
• LDC may be run directly from an IC to the ACC.
Wall Boxes
• Only standard sized, single- or dual-gang, NEMA switch wall boxes
with conduit knockouts only—no cable clamps (such as RACO 560 or
562) may be used
(wall box minimum depth = 7 cm; 23/4 in.).
The use of non-standard wall boxes must be approved by Agilent. In
addition, the customer must provide mating faceplates containing
the appropriate size connector hole when using non-standard wall
boxes.
• Wall box location must accommodate the LDC cable length
limitations.
ACC Mounting Location
The Agilent CareNet Controller (ACC) may be wall mounted, vertically, at
any convenient central location that permits the length of each branch
cable to be less than 152 meters (500 ft.), when using SDC cables, with the
exception of up to two (2) XSDC branch cable runs which can measure up
to 304 meters (1000 feet) each. Branch cables extend from the ACC to the
wall boxes. If using UTP, the length must be less that 90 meters (295 ft.).
Warning Do not install within eight feet of a patient bedside. The ACC is not
suitable for use near a patient bedside. The patient vicinity includes a
volume of 5 feet (1.5m) around the patient bedside and 8 feet (2.5m)
above the floor.
Rack Mounting Standard 19" telecommunications rack.
Service Access It is required that the ACC be centrally located to facilitate servicing. Do
not mount the ACC inside a closet or underneath a display console. The
mounting location must provide for adequate service access and have the
required free space around the ACC.
AC Power Source The ACC must be wall mounted within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of an AC power
line source.
