This is only applicable to stranded conductor wires. Solid conductors will be attached directly to the
barrier strip.
All conductors will be stripped prior to installation underneath screws on terminals. Provide crimp lugs
on stranded control cables, solid conductor wire will not require crimp lugs on individual conductors.
All screw terminated solid conductors will be wrapped in the same direction as screw rotation during
tightening.
Multi-conductor Cables: Follow a uniform application of color codes for multi-conductor cables throughout
the Facility. Where there are unused conductors or pairs in a cable assembly, they can be insulated as a
group, left long enough for future termination, and folded into the connector hood. Where this is impractical,
they may be folded back along the outer jacket of the cable and covered with heat-shrinkable tubing.
Multipin Connectors: Where jumpers are indicated between pins of the same connector, they will be
installed internal to the connector shell and will not have any cable number designations applied to the
jumper.
3.4 LABELING
General
The attachment method for equipment identification plates will be designed for permanency unless
otherwise described. All labels will be protected prior to installation, and will not be installed if
damaged or scratched. Follow manufacturer's recommended procedure for surface preparation,
which must be free of any dust, dirt or film. Wiping with a manufacturer-approved solvent is required.
If a label is in a place that might be susceptible to damage, it will be protected with a layer of clear
plastic, 1/16" or thicker, taped down. Internal labels will be replaced only if they become illegible.
External labels will be replaced if they become scratched or marred.
On black lamicoid panels or pushbuttons, letters shall be white; on stainless steel or brushed natural
aluminum plates, or light-colored pushbuttons, letters shall be black.
Embossed labels are not acceptable.
Mount labels in a neat, plumb and permanent manner except where indicated.
Text heights will be as follows:
Rack designation labels will have 1” high block sans serif text.
Equipment labels will be 3/4” high block sans serif text.
Operator Control labels will be 1/4" high block sans serif text, this may be adjusted to fit available
space.
Panel labels will be 1/8” high block sans serif text.
Patchbay, Cable and Connector labeling will be 10 point block sans serif text, this may be
adjusted to fit available space.
Equipment Labels
Provide engraved lamicoid labels on the front and rear of active equipment mounted in racks. Front
mounted equipment labels for the Production Suite video monitor wall monitors are to be mounted
with Velcro. Equipment labels to have one line of engraving, giving the schematic reference of the
device, and/or its production function, i.e. “VTR #4”, “PA-29A”.
Unless equipment manufacturer has clearly labeled functions, provide an engraved label over each
user-operated control that describes the function or purpose of the control.
If the manufacturer provides a protected labeling strip such as those used for switcher control panels
and patch bays, then patch/routing point labels may be typed clearly on 80 pound paper stock.
