Steps to remember when preparing for device installation by GASTOP or an Authorized GASTOP Partner:

  • prepare an installation plan (drawing and descriptive parts).
  • verify the existing substrate for device installation or create a new one. The substrate/foundation layer for device installation must not consist of layers such as: polystyrene, mineral wool, hollow blocks, other thermal insulation materials, waterproofing materials, underfloor heating systems, paving stones, sidewalk slabs, asphalt,
  • if the devices will be located in evacuation routes, this must be consulted with or approved by the appropriate authorities,
  • designate alternative pedestrian traffic routes in the facility during installation and implementation (devices are usually installed in existing traffic routes),
  • for larger installations or assemblies, designate a technical coordinator on the Client’s side responsible for arrangements and coordination of activities with other companies regarding, for example, reader installation, fencing, power supply boxes, and other systems,
  • bring power supply cables out from the substrate (with adequate reserve) at the installation location of each device in accordance with the device’s DTR.
  • before installation, secure the installation area so that pedestrian traffic at the facility is not disrupted or does not create hazards during installation work (e.g., temporary barriers, area cordoned off with warning tape),
  • protect the installation area from dust and construction contaminants that may affect or chemically react with the materials from which the devices are made (turnstiles, swing gates, tripod turnstiles),
