2.3 Design for Maintenance and Serviceability
2.3.1 Requirement
The AV Integrator shall be responsible for ensuring all installed AV systems are easily maintainable and
serviceable by the Principal or their chosen representative. In particular, the following principles shall be
adhered to:
a) Where ceiling mounted projectors are installed in spaces with tiered floors or fixed seating, the
projector shall be positioned in clear space with a flat floor for ease of access.
b) Projectors must be installed on a motorised lift when:
! Ceiling mounted projectors are installed above raked seating
! Ceiling mounted projectors are installed 3m above finished floor level
! Ceiling mounted projectors are installed in any other situation where easy servicing of the
projector would not be possible
When a motorised projector lift is installed it must lower the projector to a service position at 1200mm above
finished floor level. Any equipment associated with the projector must be lowered with the projector for
serviceability and ease of access. Cables traversing the Lifter’s scissor shall be flexible fly leads and suited to
the task. All cables feeding the projector shall be terminated at the top of the lifter in an accessible location if
the need to replace the flexible fly leads arises.
The AV Integrator shall ensure that all other AV equipment is installed with due consideration to service
access.
Control of the projector lift will be via a password-protected page on the touch panel.
To maintain the AV systems intended functionality, User experience, security, and maintainability, the system
requires an approved RMIT Teachers station or Lectern. The standard furniture allows for equipment from the
AVS Standards to be accessible and uniform in all spaces. The joinery may be existing, be supplied by RMIT
Property Services, or the Integrator, this will be defined during the tender process. The joinery will be sourced
through RMIT partners.
2.4 Workmanship – Installation
2.4.1 Work
AV Integrators must carry out all work to a high standard in a professional manner using competent and
experienced personnel who shall be properly supervised. All work must comply with Australian Standards,
University Standards and Industry best practices for AV and ITS.
In all cases the AV integrator shall install the system with the guidance of this document taking into account the
workspace the system is being install in. The function of the workspace cannot be compromised by the AV
install and the install shall conform to the overall concepts set out in the areas design.
RMIT requires that all contractors follow approved procedures and apply for permits for certain works. Further
information is available on the RMIT property services web site or the Project Manager.
2.4.2 Provision of a fully working system
The AV Integrator must supply all items necessary to provide a fully working system in line with the AV
specification, design intent and any relevant statutory authority, whether specifically mentioned within the
documentation or not.
