<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />OJJ138 <br /> <br />2.9 INSTALLATION AND SYSTEM START UP <br /> <br />A Sierra/Mis co field engineer will be on site for a two week period to <br />start up the system during the first phase of installation. <br /> <br />This system start up includes the complete installation of the two base <br />stations and National Weather Service Remote Terminal as well as <br />coordination and training on the installation and maintenance of all remote <br />equipment. <br /> <br />The base station installation and test will be accomplished in the first <br />three days of the start up period. The fourth day will be used to test all <br />remote site transmitters and repeaters and to prepare for remote site <br />installations. The remaining six days will be spent installing remote <br />gauges and repeaters. <br /> <br />2.9.1 Base Station Installation <br /> <br />Sierra/Mis co will provide materials and equipment for the installation of <br />the two base stations. We recommend that the personnel responsible for the <br />ongoing maintenance of the system participate in the base station <br />installations. Their participation will serve as a training on the <br />operation and basic troubleshooting of the base station equipment. This <br />training is a valuable component in understanding the overall system <br />operation. Local participation in the base installation will also be more <br />cost effective as it will eliminate the need for a second Sierra/Misco <br />field engineer on site. A second field engineer is included in the price <br />proposal as an option in case the Regional Building Department chooses not <br />to have any of their personnel participate in the base installations. <br /> <br />The base station installation materials includes all cables for connecting <br />equipment, a six socket AC power strip, and hardware for top mounting the <br />08224 antenna. Installation materials do not include a fixture for <br />mounting the antenna (such as antenna tower) or antenna cables over 60' <br />(cable runs over 60' require a heavier low loss cable). If the antenna is <br />to be side mounted on a tower the optional DB5001 side mount kit is <br />required. <br /> <br />The base station installations will include a half day basic training on <br />the Enhanced ALERT Software to familiarize operations with the basic data <br />display commands. This will enable them to monitor remote gauge <br />performance during the installation period prior to the complete software <br />training. <br /> <br />2.9.2 Remote Site Coordination <br /> <br />Following the installation of the base station, work will begin on the <br />installation of the remote site equipment. The first step will be to test <br />the operation of all transmitters and repeaters prior to taking them in the <br />field. During the time that the Sierra/Misco field engineer is on site <br />supervising installation, approximately eight remote sites will be <br />
