Table 2-1. Pre-Install Checklist
Item Description
Site Survey The utility has surveyed the area to determine optimal
locations for concentrator installation. Landis+Gyr offers this
professional service as a contract option.
Obtain Necessary Permits When the concentrator is to be installed on utility or
municipal property such as utility poles, there is a general
agreement to install on these poles. There may be a
requirement for the utility or municipality to approve
individual sites. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that
approval has been given for each installation.
Network Installation Timeline The Network Installation Plan specifies and formalizes the
entire concentrator installation plan. Perform all surveys in
advance to ensure ample time for make-ready work as well as
addressing any unforeseen installation issues. All
concentrators will be installed, quality-checked, and online
prior to any endpoint installation in a scheduled route.
Tools and Equipment The latter part of this chapter has detailed tool and equipment
information.
Bucket Truck Procure all necessary barricade and traffic permits for the
bucket truck as required, unless covered by prior permits.
Supervision Your organization has rules regarding supervision in the field.
If you note any deviation from the specified installation
criteria, contact your supervisor immediately.
ID Badges Your identification badge should be clearly visible at all times.
If you lose or damage your ID, notify your Field Supervisor
immediately to get a replacement. You are not allowed to
work in the field without one.
