Low current

Low-current systems need a sequence, not last-minute installation

CCTV, data, access control, intercom and other systems touch ceilings, doors, power and finishes. They need coordination before pathways close.

Design and coordination

Confirm coverage objectives, device locations, cabinet space, power, pathways and interfaces with architecture, electrical and mechanical work.

First fix and inspection

Install pathways and cables, label both ends and inspect before ceilings or walls are closed.

Second fix to handover

Terminate, configure, test, train users and deliver drawings, credentials, warranties and test records.

Project checklist

  • Approve device locations before first fix
  • Record changes while work is visible
  • Do not accept handover without tests and as-built drawings

Practical takeaways

  • Define the operating requirement before choosing products
  • Document interfaces, failure behaviour and ownership
  • Test the completed system and keep records for support
