Hardware and Wiring Installation Guide 7
3. Planning the Installation
Planning the system design is crucial to the success of the installation. Thorough planning will make
the installation go smoother, and there will be less likelihood of mistakes or oversights. When planning
an installation, certain rules and limitations must be observed. The equipment has been designed to
provide trouble free operation in various environments, and adherence to the guidelines is critical for a
reliable installation. The following sections will detail items that must be included in a system plan to
ensure a successful installation.
The Installation Checklist, located in section 6, is intended to be a record of the installation steps.
Before starting the installation, fill in the checklist by referring to the contractual floor plan schematic
for the quantities and numbers of zones and other components for the specific installation. The Punch-
down Block Organization List in section 6 will also be used during the planning stages of the
installation.
