DD-4 Startup and Training Program

The enclosure is typically shipped to the job site and installed by the customer with the required conduit and alarm circuits as described below. The startup personnel will generally bring the DD-4 system at the time of startup.

Complete installation is available at additional cost, if desired by the customer

Items covered in startup and training:

1. Transportation, food, and lodging for startup personnel to and from startup location and during training are included in startup price.

Wires should be run inside conduit from alarm location to inside DD-4 enclosure. Wires should be four feet long inside DD-4 enclosure. Wire size preferred 18 to 22 gauge twisted wire pair. The length of run would determine the wire size selected.
