Pre-installation Preparations
Pre-installation preparations are crucial for a successful installation of the
CartaSense system and must be performed precisely and thoroughly.
The purpose of the pre-installation preparation is:
•
Identify the best location for the system components in order to
optimize the performance of the system.
•
When using GPRS USG verify availability of good cellular
communication in the area of installation.
•
Verify high enough locations for mounting USG units to prevent
them from being damaged by forklifts and loads.
•
Locate AC outlets - Verify power outlet availability near the USG’s
planned location
•
Check for the best location to place a Resident Sensor, if any. This
depends on:
-
Size of area to be covered.
-
Specific needs (special cooling rooms, far dockings…)
•
Estimate number of RS needed.
•
Check coverage
•
Add RS in places with low coverage
