5. RESPONSIBILITIES
5.1. Project Engineer
Will be responsible for the following:
1. To ensure that all the preparation and arrangement are in place before and during testing and
commissioning.
2. To ensure that all necessary tools and equipment’s to carry out the testing and commissioning is
available at the area under test.
3. To initiate the testing and commissioning request for inspection and approval (RIFA) by preparing
necessary attachment and specify the exact area to be tested and inform the QA/QC engineer that the
area is ready for testing and commissioning.
4. To coordinate with the Main Contractor MEP Coordinator & Safety Officer for a safe and proper
execution of the works.
5.2. Site Engineer
Will be responsible for the following:
1. To prepare all tools, equipment and manpower necessary to carry out the testing and commissioning.
2. To provide all necessary information required.
3. To coordinate with the Safety Officer and to ensure that the works are carried out in safe practicing
methods.
5.3. QA/QC Engineer
Will be responsible for the following:
1. To carry out pre-inspection and conduct pre-testing to ensure that the system and area under test is
complete and fully functional.
2. To facilitate the submission of testing and commissioning Work Inspection Request and ensure that
the documentation is complete and duly signed by all concerned parties.
6. EQUIPMENT/MATERIALS
The equipment’s/materials that will be engaged for testing and commissioning of the MATV System will be as
follows:
1. Frequency meter
2. Multi meter
3. Portable colour/BW TV
4. Electrician’s tools
7. METHOD AND PROCEDURE
7.1. Preparation
1. Inspection: verify that units and controls are properly installed, connected, and labelled and that
interconnecting wires and terminals are identified.
2. Pre-setting: align and adjust system and pre-test components, wiring, and functions to verify that they
comply with specified requirements. Replace malfunctioning or damaged items. Retest until
satisfactory performance and conditions are achieved.
3. Test Schedule: schedule tests after presenting has successfully been completed and system has been
in normal functional operation for at least 14 days. Provide a minimum of 10 days' notice of test
schedule.
8. TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
8.1. Operational Tests
Perform operational system tests to verify that system complies with Specifications. Include all modes of
system operation. Test equipment for proper operation in all functional modes.
MATV Distribution System Acceptance Tests: include the following:
8.2. Instrumentation
1. Use a field-strength meter rated for minus 40-dB mV measuring sensitivity and a frequency range of 5
to 862 MHz, minimum. Provide documentation of recent calibration against recognized standards.
2. Signal Level: use a field-strength meter to measure signal levels at TV system outlets via a QAM set-
top-box. Readings on each of the channels designated to be received must be within specified limits.
3. Signal-to-Noise-Ratio Test: use a field-strength meter to make a sequence of measurements at the
output of the last distribution amplifier or of another agreed-upon location in system. With system
operating at normal levels, tune meter to the picture carrier frequency of each of the designated
channels in turn and record the level. With signal removed and input to corresponding head-end
amplifier terminated at 75 ohms, measure the level of noise at the same tuning settings. With meter
correction factor added to last readings, differences from first set must not be less than 45 dB.
4. Picture-Quality Test: connect a standard TV receiver to each a STB system outlet and observe picture
quality on designated channels. No evidence of cross-channel inter-modulation, ghost images, or beat
interference should appear.
5. Qualitative and Quantitative Performance Tests: demonstrate reception quality of colour-television
program transmissions at each system outlet from each designated channel and source. Quality shall
be equal to or superior than that obtained with performance checks specified below, using a standard,
commercial, cable-ready, colour-television receiver.
a. Carrier Level Stability, Short Term: level does not change more than 5 dB.
b. Digital Carrier Response: signal amplitude is plus or minus 3 dB, maximum.
c. Channel Frequency Response: across any 8-MHz channel signal amplitude is plus or minus 3
dB, maximum, unless otherwise indicated.
d. Carrier-to-Noise Ratio: 45 dB or more, unless otherwise indicated.
e. Terminal Isolation TV to TV: 25 dB, minimum.
f. Terminal Isolation between TV and FM: 35 dB, minimum.
g. Hum Modulation: 2 percent, maximum.
h. RF FM Carrier Level: 13 to 17 dB below video carrier level.
i. FM Frequency Response: more than the 88- to 108-MHz frequency range, signal amplitude is
plus or minus 0.75 dB, maximum.
6. Equalizing Video Signals: where system performance may be degraded in certain operating modes
revise component connections and install video distribution amplifiers and attenuators as required
providing a balanced signal across the system.
7. Record test results.
8. Retest: correct deficiencies identified by tests and observations and retest until specified requirements
are met.
9. HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
1. Strictly followed as per the manufacturer’s Health & Safety recommendations for handling and use of
the materials. Ensure that all involved personnel shall be aware of the same.
