INSTALLATION PLANNING
Proper planning minimizes the time required and costs incurred during an installation. In the long
term, maintenance, changes and expansion can be accomplished efficiently when planned for prior to
the initial installation. This results in customer satisfaction and goodwill through a minimum disruption
of their business activities. Ultimately, customer satisfaction results in additional sales.
Each customer’s facility is different and requires a tailored approach to ensure that the job runs
smoothly. Each facility will have its own combination of circumstances which must be addressed.
Table below summarizes the major stages of a typical intercom installation. The sequence in which the
stages are accomplished, or the work accomplished in each stage itself, can be modified to reflect the
particular circumstances of each installation. However, the general approach should include the
installation stages listed below:
STEP INSTALLATION
1. Site survey and data collection.
2.
Plan major equipment layout. (Central, system power supply, and
position of the various stations, speakers, etc.)
3. Plan cable routing.
4.
Preparation and preassembly of central and power supply at shop facility.
5. Site work:
a. Running of station cables
b. Equipment mounting (central, power supply, etc.)
c. Station and speaker installation
d. System programming and adjustment
6. System checkout and commissioning
7. Customer introduction and training.
CENTRAL LOCATION
A summary of the environmental factors affecting the Ring-Master CB901 system is presented in
the listing below. These factors must be considered when developing a detailed system plan.
Site preparation is dependent upon the customer’s facilities. In many cases, there may be only one
location where the central and power supply (or transformer) can be mounted. However, when several
locations are possible, the advantages and disadvantages of each location should be considered.
Consider each of the following factors:
A. The central and power supply must be wall mounted.
B. Location of the majority of stations, locate the central strategically, so that you can
minimize the length of cable runs.
