Section 3: Installation Planning

3.1.2 PLAN PROCEDURES
The development of an installation plan is an evolutionary process. First, an overall assessment
is made of all access control and alarm monitoring requirements. Then the hardware items
required to implement these requirements and the location of each unit is decided. At this time
a preliminary installation plan can be drawn up. As requirements become more specific, this plan
may change until a final plan is approved by all parties concerned.
To draw up a preliminary installation plan, the following steps must be taken:
1. Consult with the owner and determine in detail what the access control requirements are.
Take notes of the meeting with the owner.
2. Obtain floor plans for all controlled areas and review them in detail with the owner. Determine
the buildings and areas to be controlled making a list of all doors.
3. On the floor plan, indicate the hardware required at each location; Alto 818, system terminal,
readers, switches, power supplies, monitor devices, remote stations, locks, etc.
4. Plan cable routing keeping in mind maximum run lengths. Revise placement of hardware
as required. The floor plan may be helpful in estimating cable requirements.
5. Compile a list of the hardware required. Copies of Table 3-1 may be used to record WSE
product requirements.
6. Review the installation plan with the owner.
