3.  SELECT A QUALIFIED AND COMPETENT INSTALLER

Correct installation of the product is important for safety and performance.  If you have not asked 4B to 
perform the installation of the unit on your behalf, it is critical for the safety of your operation and those 

who may perform work on your operation that you select a qualified and competent electrical installer to 

undertake the installation.  The product must be installed properly to perform its designed functions.  The 

installer should be qualified, trained, and competent to perform the installation in accordance with local 

and national electrical codes, all relevant regulations, as well as any of your own standards and preventive 

maintenance  requirements,  and  other  product  installation  information  supplied  with  the  product.    You 

should be prepared to provide the installer with all necessary installation information to assist in the 
installation.

4.  ESTABLISH AND FOLLOW A REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION SCHEDULE FOR 

YOUR 4B PRODUCTS

You should develop a proper maintenance and inspection program to confirm that your system is in good 

working order at all times.  You will be in the best position to determine the appropriate frequency for 

inspection.  Many different factors known to the user will assist you in deciding the frequency of inspection.  

These factors may include but are not limited to weather conditions; construction work at the facility; hours 
of operation; animal or insect infestation; and the real-world experience of knowing how your employees 
perform their jobs.  The personnel or person you select to install, operate, maintain, inspect or perform 

any work whatsoever, should be trained and qualified to perform these important functions.  Complete 

and accurate records of the maintenance and inspection process should be created and retained by you 
at all times.

5.  RETAIN AND REFER TO THE OPERATION MANUAL FOR 4B’S SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE 

AND INSPECTION RECOMMENDATIONS

As  all  operations  are  different,  please  understand  that  your  specific  operation  may  require  additional 

adjustments in the maintenance and inspection process essential to permit the monitoring device to 
perform its intended function.  Retain the Operation Manual and other important maintenance and service 

documents  provided  by  4B  and  have  them  readily  available  for  people  servicing  your  4B  equipment.
