1.1 Objectives and Overview
This manual provides all information necessary to prepare the site for the installation of the system,
taking into consideration the information required for different professionals such as architects,
construction engineers, electrical contractors, and all other personnel involved in construction and
preparation of the site.
IMPORTANT
Good site preparation is essential for a smooth and efficient installation and for proper functioning of the system.
Poor site planning may compromise system efficiency and/or patient comfort.
The information provided in this
Pre-Installation Manual
is general in its nature, and must always be used in
conjunction with the drawings and specifications prepared specifically for your site.
If the site is considering a future system upgrade, use the pre-installation manual of the intended system type,
during site planning. Special attention should be paid to room size, floor requirements, electrical power
requirements, cable paths (ducts), and environmental requirements (air conditioning for heat dissipation).
When upgrading a system, the site’s power, structure and floor loading requirements must be evaluated for
upgrade suitability according to this manual.
