Installing the Equipment
Pre-Installation Requirements
Power Requirements
One properly grounded duplex wall receptacle should be
provided for each system. Additional receptacles may be
required to accommodate peripheral equipment connected to the
system. The wall receptacle must be installed in an approved
junction box. Use only 3-prong, polarized, medical-grade wall
receptacles to accept the 3-prong, polarized, medical-grade plug
on the computer equipment.

Warnings
The AlarmView transmitter and all peripheral equipment
must be adequately grounded, or a shock hazard may exist.
Observe the following grounding recommendations:
v All wall receptacles and all exposed metal parts (beds,
radiators, water pipes, etc.) in any patient area should be
electrically connected together by sharing a common
grounding point. This common ground point should be
connected to the nearest equipotential ground through a
bonded grounding system, or with a 10 AWG stranded
copper grounding cable.
v The equipotential ground point should be as close to earth
ground potential as possible. If a bonded grounding system
is not available, the ground pin of each wall receptacle must
be individually connected to a central grounding point. Do
not jumper from ground pin to ground pin of the receptacles.
