Nurse call cabinet weight (42 vs 64.20 LBS) and dimensions (30'x30' vs 28'x28') conflict between S-1 and NC5-02
Structural
The Equipment Anchorage Schedule on S-1 lists the 'RAULAND RESPONDER NURSE CALL CABINET' with a total weight of 42 LBS and dimensions of 30' x 5 1/2' x 30' (W x D x H). The schedule general note states these are 'MAXIMUM OPERATING WEIGHTS, AND INCLUDE SEISMIC WEIGHT OF CONTENTS.' On NC5-02, the nurse call terminal cabinets (NC2828) consistently...

System operating voltage conflict: Drawing specifies 36VDC but specification requires 24VDC
Electrical
The Cable Legend on the drawing explicitly states the nurse call system power cable is '36VDC POWER FOR NURSE CALL SYSTEM.' However, the specification Section 27 52 23, Part 2.2.D.5 requires '24-V dc for operation of the call system' and further states 'Output: Regulated 24-V dc with protection against overloads.' This is a direct, measurable...

Power supply voltage on riser diagrams (36V DC) conflicts with specification requirement of 24V DC
Electrical
All three power supply calculation sheets on drawing NC5-03 state 'MAXIMUM LOAD PER POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT: 2.4 AMPS @ 36V DC'. The specification Section 27 52 23, Part 2.2.D.5 explicitly requires a 24-V dc system power supply with a regulated 24-V dc output. The drawing's 36V DC rating directly contradicts the specification's 24V DC requirement....

All four power supply calculation sheets on this drawing explicitly state a maximum load per power supply output of 2.4 AMPS at 36V DC. The specification Section 27 52 23, paragraph 2.2.D.5.a, requires '24-V dc for operation of the call system.' This is a direct, measurable conflict between the drawing and the specification: 36V DC shown on the...

Nurse call stations located out of accessible reach range behind water closets
Electrical
The electrical plan shows nurse call operable parts ('w/Audio PC') with leader lines locating them on the wall directly behind the water closets in several patient toilet rooms (e.g., 2-616A, 2-605A). Sections 11B-205.1 and 11B-309.3 require operable parts to comply with the reach ranges in Section 11B-308. Reaching a wall-mounted control...

The typical room elevations for the 'PATIENT TOILET' indicate that the 'Shower Pull Cord Station 354001WP' is to be mounted at a height of '60-72''. According to the California Building Code, any operable parts (which would include the station's reset switches or buttons) must be placed within accessible reach ranges. Section 11B-308.2.1...
