INSTALLING THE TELEVISION
Installation Precautions
For models powered 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.
For models powered by ethernet (PoE) use only UL listed power sourcing equipment that offers 60W per port using all 4 pairs for
power delivery. This is sometimes called
UPoE
,
PoE++
or
802.3bt type 3
. PDi recommends the
Microchip Microsemi PD-9506G/ACDC/M
midspan power inserter. The ethernet cable on top of the TV is used to supply both
power and data. Be sure power is not applied to the coaxial cable entering the TV.
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 M4182 (replaced 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.
Category Cable Specifications
PoE models are IEEE 802.3bt compatible. When using a PoE power inserter to apply power to ethernet, CAT5e or better cable may
be used. The total cable length from network switch to PDI device may be up to the standard 330ft.
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.
KEYPAD CONTROLS
Keypad buttons vary by model as shown below. Each model has at least a HOME and BACK button.
