It is a good idea to
order 10% - 15%
more multiplexer door channels
than you need and save a few
conductors in the door alarm
trunk line. Many sites layout their
units one way initially and later
come back and split larger units
into smaller ones to increase
profit on the square footage. This
increases the number of doors
and it can be very costly to go
back to pull new wire and install
new muxes in areas with already
rented units. The negligible cost of
preplanning saves a lot of money
in the long run.

Conduit
Consider purchasing the next size larger conduit than you need
to allow for future expansion and maintenance. Consider also
pulling extra wire-pull strings. This is especially important if future
construction phases or expansion are planned. Be sure to have pull
boxes at all conduit terminations. Use only electrical conduit with
sweep 90 degree bends. Never use sprinkler PVC, plumbing pipe, or
direct 90 degree elbow bends. All splices should be in junction boxes
above ground.
Advance Review
Review the manuals and documentation before installation. These
are available on our web site at www.ptisecurity.com and can also
be obtained by e-mail, fax, or U.S. mail by contacting Technical
Support. Order equipment with enough advance notice to have it
on-site prior to installation. When a shipment is received, promptly
check the equipment received against the packing list to verify
that all parts have been delivered. Also, verify that there isn't any
shipping damage. If there is any shipping damage, retain all packing
materials and contact PTI Security Systems immediately (within 5
days of receipt). It is a good idea to plug everything in and verify that
you understand the set up prior to the full site installation. Contact
PTI Security Systems immediately if there are any issues.
