• The installer or licensed electrician must follow all NEC and local codes.

• In accordance with article 725 of the NEC, UL will permit a product to be Listed, where Class 2 wiring is

notched in the floor and secured in place by non-water based/ non-corrosive material. Cables shall be
installed in a neat and workman like manner as described in article 725.8. In addition, UL also requires the
following with respect to interpedestal and other wiring from the pedestal. a Not to be installed in Damp or
Wet Locations. For indoor use only. b Wires are not to be embedded in concrete. c Circuits shall be
installed so as to not damage the cable.

• All wires routed in the floor per article 725 must be Class 2 and be UL Listed. UL Recognized AWM may

be employed, provided it is enclosed in Conduit of ENT.

• Inter-pedestal wiring should not be directly installed in wet concrete.

• Inter-pedestal wiring scenarios (either in-floor, in walls, or in ceiling) that meet this UL guidance are

Fol

1. Determine optimal antenna placement based upon antenna type, tag type, and door

opening width. (Refer to the Liberty Product Reference Guide)

2. Determine power supply requirements and the ideal power supply location. (See

“Appendix 2 Power Supplies”)

3. Physically mount the antennas.

4. Connect the antenna wiring.

5. Install peripherals.

6. Configure the system using DMS.

The information covered in steps 1 and 2 is generally used during the survey and planning stage,
but it is important for the installer to keep these specifications in mind to ensure that the systems
are installed to specification.
