3 3  Though a pre-construction site-visit may seem like a wasted expense, by communicating expectations and requirements to the electrical contractor prior to startup you are actually able to save time and headache on-site. For large jobs especially, taking the time to ensure a proper installation will save hours or days during startup. Any time spent by a technician on-site tracking down serial numbers or troubleshooting/correcting a poor installation is a waste that could have been avoided with good communication and instruction prior to and throughout the installation process.

7 7  * [[Wiring and Installation>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Wiring Guide.WebHome]]
8 8  ** Do not power up panels until installation is complete and wiring is verified safe to connect
9 9  ** [[Cresnet wiring>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Wiring Guide.Wiring Overview.Cresnet.WebHome]] (for jobs with Cresnet)
10 -*** **Do** check for shorts before landing at the panel
11 -*** **Do** land the shield with COM at the panel
12 -*** **Do** splice through and insulate shield in the field
13 -*** **Do not** leave copper showing at terminations
14 -*** **Do not** use lever-nuts (**do** use wire nuts)
15 -*** **Do not** excessively strip back the teal-yellow jacket
16 -** [[Ethernet terminations>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Wiring Guide.Wiring Overview.Ethernet.WebHome]] (where the EC is terminating the Ethernet)
17 -*** **Do** use T568B Pin-Out
18 -*** **Do not** exceed 100m/328' cable length
19 -** [[Zūm Wired wiring>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Wiring Guide.Wiring Overview.Zūm Net.WebHome]] (for Zūm Wired jobs)
20 -*** **Do** follow the same rules as Ethernet for both Zūm Net and Zūm Link terminations/cable length
21 -*** **Do not** mix up Zūm Net and Zūm Link cables

22 22  ** Follow the load schedule
23 23  * Serial number collection
24 24  ** SNs should be collected for all networked devices (all Cresnet devices and Zūm Wired devices)
33 +*** If possible, SNs should be provided prior to startup. This way they can be put into the configuration prior to arriving on-site
25 25  ** The EC does not need to collect SNs for non-system devices (e.g. Crestron NS occupancy sensors, Steinel occupancy sensors, LDL photocells, and GLPPA-KP keypads
26 26  ** It is important to not just have a list of SNs on-site, but to be able to associate individual SNs with specific installed devices
27 27  ** The easiest way to do this is to write the SNs of installed devices on the floor plans or riser diagram as they are installed
28 28  * MAC address collection (optional)
29 29  ** Collecting MAC addresses is redundant if serial numbers are provided
