This test shall be measured utilizing an Earth Ground Resistance Meter and not a common voltage meter. The Contractor shall provide a test-lead at the farthest section of tray, and a test-lead at the source ground bar. The impedance recorded should be subtracted from the reference impedance. This shall be recorded as the Nominal impedance. For example: When the (2) test-leads are 0-referenced together, the impedance should be no more than 1 or 2 ohms, depending on the length of the test leads. This example will assume 1.5ohms. When one test-lead is place at the farthest section and the other test-lead is placed at the ground bar, the impedance should be no more than 2 4 ohms, depending on the length of the cable tray system. This example will assume 3.5ohms. Thus, the Nominal impedance is = 2ohms Labeling Requirements Prior to installation of any cable, the contractor shall coordinate all labeling with the Owner and The labeling scheme shall be compliant with ANSI/TIA/EIA 606 A Administration Standard for the Telecommunications Infrastructure of Commercial Buildings The Contractor shall label, at a minimum, the following infrastructure components: Each end of each cable shall be labeled with a machinegenerated wrap-around label.
