4.1	1	The foundations of a quick, easy, and trouble-free startup are laid before the control hardware even arrives onsite. Meeting with the electrical contractor prior to construction is important to establish a good working relationship, explain the requirements for a Crestron lighting control installation, and to exchange contact information so that any technical questions or concerns can be addressed prior to startup.
1.1	2
	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.

7.1	5	Covering these important topics with the electrical contractor during the pre-construction phase is critical to smooth ShowRunnerCLC™ startups.

5.1	7	Pre-construction topics to cover:
1.1	8
20.1	9	* Wiring and Installation
1.1	10	** Do not power up panels until installation is complete and wiring is verified safe to connect
19.1	11	** [[Cresnet wiring>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Troubleshooting.Cresnet Wiring Overview.WebHome]] (for jobs with Cresnet)
9.1	12	* (% style="color:green" %)DO**(%%) check for shorts before landing at the panel
	13	* (% style="color:green" %)DO**(%%) land the shield with COM at the panel
	14	* (% style="color:green" %)DO**(%%) splice through and insulate shield in the field
	15	* (% style="color:green" %)DO**(%%) use wire nuts for Cresnet splices
	16	* (% style="color:red" %)DO NOT**(%%) use lever-nuts for Cresnet splices
	17	* (% style="color:red" %)DO NOT**(%%) leave copper showing at terminations
	18	* (% style="color:red" %)DO NOT**(%%) excessively strip back the teal-yellow jacket
17.1	19	** [[Ethernet terminations>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Troubleshooting.Ethernet Wiring Overview.WebHome]] (where the EC is terminating the Ethernet)
11.1	20	* (% style="color:green" %)DO**(%%) use standard, non-passthrough RJ-45 connectors
9.1	21	* (% style="color:green" %)DO**(%%) use T568B Pin-Out
12.1	22	* (% style="color:red" %)DO NOT**(%%) use EZ-style passthrough RJ-45 connectors
9.1	23	* (% style="color:red" %)DO NOT**(%%) exceed 100m/328' cable length
18.1	24	** [[Zūm Wired wiring>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Troubleshooting.Zūm Wired Wiring Overview.WebHome]] (for Zūm Wired jobs)
11.1	25	* (% style="color:green" %)DO**(%%) use standard, non-passthrough RJ-45 connectors
9.1	26	* (% style="color:green" %)DO**(%%) use T568B Pin-Out
11.1	27	* (% style="color:red" %)DO NOT**(%%) use EZ-style passthrough RJ-45 connectors
9.1	28	* (% style="color:red" %)DO NOT**(%%) exceed 100m/328' cable length
	29	* (% style="color:red" %)DO NOT**(%%) mix up Zūm Net and Zūm Link cables
1.1	30	** Follow the load schedule
	31	* Serial number collection
	32	** SNs should be collected for all networked devices (all Cresnet devices and Zūm Wired devices)
2.1	33	*** If possible, SNs should be provided prior to startup. This way they can be put into the configuration prior to arriving on-site
1.1	34	** 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
	35	** 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
	36	** 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
	37	* MAC address collection (optional)
	38	** Collecting MAC addresses is redundant if serial numbers are provided
3.1	39	* Establish expectations for what "ready to commission" means by sharing the [[site readiness checklist>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.Preparation.Site Readiness Checklist.WebHome]]
