Wire Pulling
First determine the locations of the transceivers, computers, control
panels, touch-pads and any other bus devices for a wireless system. For a
hardwired system verify the location of the call stations, annunciators, duty
stations and power supply. This is particularly important as there may be
locations in the room already assigned to other trades such as telephones,
Cable TV, etc. and we do not want to have to come back and move our
Power Supplies or other equipment. Check with the Building Supervisor for
the best location of the Power Supply.
Finally, some of the special concerns in pulling wire for existing
facilities also affect new construction. For example, "attic traffic" may be an
even more critical issue as tradesmen are still working in the area. Using
pre-formed conduit bends may still be very useful, however keeping these
devices out of other trades spaces is important. Also, even though there
are no residents to be concerned about, there are still fellow workers in the
area and their safety is just as important.
Junction Boxes
Sometimes when pulling wires, a junction box may be needed for
teeing off to different directions, or for a wire pull in a future suspended
ceiling space, etc. When putting in a junction box, be sure to secure it to a
stud, joist or wall. Use the appropriate wire nuts and be sure to label all the
wires correctly. Using a "Sharpie" or other permanent marking pen, write
"Alliance AllCall Nurse Call" on the cover lid to identify it as our box.
