Before You Begin — Planning the Installation
Before installation is started, you must be consider several major factors to ensure that the
installation process is as smooth and trouble free as possible, and so that the final finished
project meets the needs of the customers, users, audiences, and installer.
The installation considerations on the following pages, though not comprehensive, should
be consulted to help ensure that key installation aspects have been considered.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance
When planning where to install the Polevault System, you may need to consider factors
affecting accessibility of the system such as the height of devices from the floor (for example
the MLC controller), distance from obstructions, and how far a user must reach to press any
device buttons.
For guidelines, see sections 307 (“Protruding Objects”) and 308 (“Reach Ranges”) of the
2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design available at http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2
