Site Preparation | iii |
This book contains the information necessary for the preparation of a site that conforms to NCR specifications. It is very important that the site complies with the requirements specified in the document because, once the equipment has been installed, deficiencies in site preparation or the problems caused by these deficiencies are much more difficult to detect and correct. Further, failure to comply with these requirements or to take proper steps to protect equipment against risks identified in this document may cause serious damage to the equipment and to the customer’s business.
In addition to the need to comply with the requirements specified, electrical wiring and mechanical systems must also comply with all relevant codes, laws, and regulations.
It is important that a customer or his agent who is fully conversant with the special requirements of electronic equipment prepare the site. The responsibility of ensuring that the site is prepared in compliance with this document remains with the customer.
For information and guidance purposes only, a list is provided, in general terms, of those matters for which the customer is responsible. This list is not intended to be comprehensive, and in no way modifies, alters, or limits the responsibility of the customer for all aspects of adequate site preparation.
NCR staff will be available to answer questions relating to the contents of this document except where:
•A customer has been notified that a full or partial consultant service is available and/or that NCR will be willing to undertake a preliminary or final site survey and
•The customer shall have entered into a formal contract with NCR for provision of the same.
No comment, suggestion, or advice offered or not offered about preparation of the site, nor any inspection of the site, whether before of after preparation, is to be taken as approval of the location of the site and equipment or its preparation. NCR will not be liable in respect to any comment, suggestion, or advice given by its staff or in respect to any failure to give advice.
