4 Installation requirements
Listed below are EAS installation requirements to ensure a properly installed and
functioning system. Not following these requirements might result in lower performance of
the EAS system.
4.1 Installer/contractor
1. Shall have electrical work comply with the latest national electrical code, national
fire code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
2. Shall coordinate all work with other trades to avoid interference.
3. Shall verify existing site conditions and coordinate with the owner’s representative
and appropriate utilities as required.
4. Shall obtain copies of all related plans, specifications, shop drawings and addenda
to schedule and coordinate related work.
5. Shall thoroughly review the project to ensure that all work meets or exceeds the
above requirements.
Do not install this product in hazardous areas where highly combustible
or explosive products are stored or used.
Risk of electric shock! If the equipment must be left unattended during
installation, turn off the power supply or properly cover high voltage
components, so that no unauthorized person has access to hazardous
voltages.
4.2 Antenna placement and cabling
1. To make the system concealed, the antennas must be integrated in the floor of
the entrance/exit. To do this in an existing floor, a cavity needs to be created by
removing concrete over an area of approx. 75 cm x 190 cm and a preferred depth
of 11 cm. In case of a new floor, the coils need to be properly placed before
concrete is poured.
Any work on the floor must be carried out by a certified
installer/contractor. The stability and structural integrity of the floor may
not be compromised in any way by cutting or removing rebar, or
otherwise. Contractors must obtain approval for all proposed structural
changes. All structural changes must meet national and local
requirements.
