Installation plan examples
The following examples show some typical Acuity LT System layouts. These examples are
for illustration only; they are not a guarantee of actual coverage. The network coverage in
each facility depends on the amount and type of obstructions.
Note that although the examples show the switch, PoEs, and a UPS located in a nearby
equipment closet, the equipment closet is optional. This equipment can be located in
either of the following places:
• Near the Acuity LT Central Station at the nurses station if there is adequate space.
• As far as 300 feet away from the Acuity LT Central Station. 300 feet is the maximum
length of wiring allowed between the switch and the CPU.
