Pre-Installation Recommendations
Proper installation is the most important key to having a system
that functions and operates as it should. While it may seem to save
money in the short run by cutting corners on the installation, your
overall satisfaction with the system will be better if you spend the
time and money to do it correctly from the start. A poor installation
ultimately will be very frustrating, costing much more money as it can
lead to loss of revenue as well as many hours of technical support
and service personnel time to x issues with the install.
Choice of Installer
We strongly recommend that installation and setup of any PTI Security
Systems equipment be done by a certied, licensed, qualied,
and competent technician. We can recommend local dealers and
installers, but it is up to the customer to verify their qualications and
negotiate any pricing or contracts unless PTI Security Systems has
been specically contracted in writing to do so for the customer. With
any setup or installation, some troubleshooting and adjustment of the
conguration may be required. This will differ with every installation
and computer setup depending on many site-specic variables.
This troubleshooting and conguration may include purchasing
additional equipment. In no circumstances will PTI Security Systems
be responsible for any damages either incidental or consequential
based on these recommendations.
Code and Legal Considerations
Installation of equipment manufactured by PTI Security Systems must
be performed per our recommendations and guidelines except where
local, municipal, state, and provincial codes; the National Electrical
Code; and Construction codes take precedence. When code and
our guidelines do not cover a given situation, it is the installer’s
responsibility to contact PTI Security Systems for instruction and/
or follow established custom and best practices applicable to the
particular trade. Installers must know and abide by all existing laws
pertaining to their work. Meeting code is always your responsibility
and PTI Security Systems cannot be held liable if you do not
install to code.
Spend the time to nd
a reputable installer for
your site. Don’t just consider the
lowest price. Price is important,
but denitely not as important as
quality. A cheap, poor install will
always cost you more money than
a quality installation that costs a
little more initially.
We recommend that you take the
time to get several quotes from
different installers.
Check references and contact
the Better Business Bureau and
any local licensing bureaus. Look
for an installer that has been in
business in your area for years
and has a history of installing this
type of equipment.
Look for an installer who will
provide at least a 1 year warranty
on the installation and who
is willing to do a paid service
contract after that.
