Read this manual before installing Ballistics.
Installation Guidelines:
§ Complete the Site Survey form prior to delivery and/or installation.
§ Send a completed Installation Checklist after any installation to Rugged Interactive.
§ A typical installation should take 2 people about 5 hours.
§ No obstructions or protrusions in the installation area: e.g. skirting boards, pipes, cables and wiring

§ Use good practice when running data cables to and from products, external pods and sensors.

not fix to plasterboard faced partition, unsupported portal infills and stud walls. (Uneven walls and
structures make alignment and fitting very difficult.)
Fixings:
§ The manufacturer will supply fixings.
§ Use Rawl Plugs (plastic wall plugs) if mounted to a solid block or brick wall.
§ All fixings must be tight and secure.
Suggested Extras:
§ 3 m of self-adhesive ‘mini’ box trunking to secure the power cable.
§ Cleaning cloth and gentle cleaning spray.
