New Builds
The same information is required for a new build, but they present additional
challenges as they tend to be more fluid. When collecting the required information, it
should be noted what is confirmed and what may be subject to change. For example,
if the block/door names/access/etc. changes then the customer cloud must be
updated.
All installations must be commissioned with KMS customer services before they are
signed-off and this may be a good time to check details and that the customer cloud
accurately reflects the installation. It is important that the integrity of the customer
cloud is maintained so that, when the client takes ownership of a new build, the
information they see is correct.
Note:
Master tokens (access all doors for contractors working on
site) for new builds can be set with a reduced time profile, for
example, these tokens will expire 6 months after activation. This will
provide better access control during and after build completion.
Note:
KMS are not responsible for programming Master Tokens by
default, these are normally administered by the end user.
Site Survey
It is crucial that a site survey is carried out before any installation to determine:
•
The GPRS signal and where best to locate the controller to ensure the best
communications possible - this will include antenna location and cable routing
and length. The antenna should be located on an external face of the building
and several metres above ground level as this may achieve a better signal
strength whilst deterring vandalism.
•
The information needed to program the system - the number of flats, how
they’re numbered/named, access areas, etc. (see “Infor
mation Required for
Setting up a New Block / Area to an Existing Customer Cloud” on page
10).
•
All aspects of pre-installation including full site survey in relation to cabling,
routing and cable distances are the responsibility of the contractor.
