Site Planning
The careful planning of the site for the FM20/FM30 monitor is essential for its safe and efficient

support representatives to ensure that all preparations are completed when the system is delivered.
The site planning phases prior to equipment installation are:
Location: Planning the location of the various system components.
Environment: Confirming and correcting, as necessary, the environment of the proposed installation
site(s).
System Capabilities: Explaining the possibilities for system expansion.
Mounting: Referencing the mounting hardware information website for the listing of suitable
mounting hardware recommended for use with the various system components, and all details on the
available mounts and accessories.
Cabling: Identifying the requirements for the cabling, conduiting, and face plates for connecting the
various system components.
Roles and Responsibilities
