Specifications

1. Since the contract’s inception, TU has waived the requirement for Sonic-Shock devices on the
Crestron controller (touch panels), and the Blu-ray/DVD player, provided the player is secured in a
rack with security screws or otherwise protected in a manner that TU would agree to.
2. TU has rescinded the engraving requirement. The potential damage to equipment and the
difficulties it creates in executing warranty returns and replacements outweighed the potential
security benefits.
3. TU will publish a bulletin to contractors whenever our published standards change in a substantive
way.
4. Bulletins will not be issued for minor things such as correction of typos or grammatical errors, unless
they are substantive (e.g., touch panel verbiage) and could affect contractor work or services.
