Arriving On Site
Telephone the store management (if the store is operational) or construction site supervisor (for a store still
under construction) several days before the installation and inform them of your planned installation dates, start
time, and scope of work. If possible, get the name of a specific person to contact when you get to the site. On
arrival, check in with your contact person. Introduce yourself and be sure that they understand the scope of the
planned work, when you want to begin, and about how long you expect to be on site. Be open to suggestions on
how to minimize impact to store operations or construction schedules.
Confirming the CentralTransmitter Location
Confirm the location of the CentralTransmitter as indicated on your site plan. Verity that you have access to a
110 volt AC power supply (outlet or hardwired) and determine the location and accessibility of the circuit breaker
that energizes the line.
Determine how you will route the perimeter antenna from the CT to the outside of the building. Ideally, the
antenna should be enclosed in rigid conduit from the CentralTransmitter, down the inner wall of the store to the
floor. A hole is drilled in the wall and the conduit is routed through to the base of the exterior wall.
If ground level penetration from the inside of the store is not possible, than you should penetrate the building wall
from the interior, at the height of the CentralTransmitter, and route the antenna down the exterior wall in rigid
conduit. For more information on running antenna through conduit, see page 23.
Marking the Antenna Path
Use a chalk line or spray paint to mark the path of the
saw cut prior to cutting. Mark your lines exactly as you
want the cut to be performed. This will help the saw cutter
in making a straight saw cut. Make 45º angles through
any 90º turns. You should NEVER make a 90º bend with
the antenna, as it may cause the locking signal to be
transmitted in a sporadic pattern at the 90º bend. It is
helpful to mark off all areas requiring saw cutting with
yellow caution tape or traffic cones. If you are beginning
early in the morning, you might consider instructing one
member of the installation team to begin striping the
parking lot at this time. The most convenient time to stripe
the lot is at the beginning of the day, before cars have
begun to enter the parking lot. This will require a
minimum crew of two technicians: one saw cutter and one
to begin the perimeter striping.
