Installation

What does an installation entail?

A typical installation is mounting and setting up the controller, fishing wire from the controller to the lights, cutting metal, drilling metal into soffit, and running jumps between sections of lights. WE cover all the details, so you as a customer will not have to.

For example, a 350′ job has:
– 3 Lines
– Controller
– Power Supply

The 3 lines go to:
– Lower Roof Line
– Upper Roof Line
– 2nd Floor Popout

It is important to know the limitations of your system.
– Lents of Jumps (what length requires a transmitter and/or a receiver
– The length of each line
– The limitations of the control box

The maximum length with one line is 250′
Maximum length with 2 lines, each at 150′ is 300′
 A system with a controller and power supply, should not exceed 500′ to 600′ depending on the configuration.

It is required that you come and work with one of our installation teams for a few days before we send you the product. This will give you hands-on experience installing a job from start to finish which will result in a more successful and profitable dealership.

How do I bid a project?

MANAGE / ORGANIZE YOUR BIDS

One of the quickest ways to get in trouble is to lose your bids and or mismanage your customer’s information. For this reason, it is important to have a plan in place. At the moment, Outdoor Permanent Lighting does not offer a management system or integrated management system. However, if you wanted to use the same system we use, we are happy to point you in their direction.

At a minimum, you want the most basic information available to each person who needs to know (Sales Team, Install Team, Accounting, Warehouse, Etc). One way to do this without buying a management system is to manage customers in Google Docs.

  • Create a Google Docs folder to manage your customers
  • Create a File for each customer
  • Add a map of the job
  • Add photos of the job (house and soffit color)
  • Add a worksheet that details the aspects of the job (see sample below)

MEASURING A HOME

You can:

  1. Bid off contractor plans in drafting software
  2. Measure with a tape measure or roller
  3. Measure with a laser

BID OFF CONTRACTOR PLANS – DRAFTING SOFTWARE

There are many types of drafting software. We use one called Planswift, we are able to do the following:

  • Create save individual jobs
  • Measure each roofline
  • Measure each side separately (different color)
  • Export Screen Shots to share with the customer

NOTE: It is really important to check the scale before measuring. There are times when customers are give a compressed version of the plans. These will not measure correctly. This happens maybe 10 to 20% of the time. Select the scale of the document, and measure a measurement on the plans. If it says something like 7′ and you measure 7′, your plans are to scale.

MEASURE THE SOFFIT TILES

Soffit tiles are an easy way to measure the home. They are typically in a fixed pattern on the home and all a consistent size. To do this, measure the width of 1 tile. Count the number of tiles and multiply:

MEASURING WITH A TAPE or ROLLER

It is best to have a tape measure or roller on hand to grab the measurements.

  • Role around the base of the house to get
  • Determine the pitch of the roof or height of the center of each peak to determine the length of the slope on each peak

DRAW A MAP

Draw a map of the full roofline. Double-check the map and measurements to make sure you don’t miss anything. Measure each side individually and round the number up. This will help you account for a little waste on the job.

The bidding and mapping process should be used to identify a few things:

  • Accurately measure the house
  • Identify the placement of the control box
  • Talk to the homeowner about power (a plug) for the control box
  • Identify how you get from the control box to each starting point
  • What type of track is needed?
  • What is the color track needed? (Soffit Color)
  • Do you need a blank track?
  • Are there special conditions?
  • Is there attic access?
  • Can all the wires be hidden?
  • Will you need a transmitter and receiver?
  • Will they need a WiFi extender?

TRANSMITTERS AND RECEIVERS

When you look at the control box and starting points on a home, you will be able to determine if a transmitter a receiver or both. It all depends on the length between the control box and starting point, or between light to light.

WIFI EXTENDER

A WiFi Extender often called a Signal Extender is used to increase the range between the control box and the home router. There are numerous types of WiFi Extenders on the market. You can offer them or they can buy one themselves. A good rule is that if there are more than 50 feet between the Router and Control Box, you ought to be informing the customer that one may be needed. Show up with one just in case. If the control box will not connect to the Router, this is the first thing to consider when troubleshooting.

Do I need to be an electrician?

We do not make this Mandatory, however, we would strongly recommend having a Professional Electrician or Company to help install or double-checking install. Build a successful team and you will have successful results. Outdoor Permanent Lighting believes in quality and not having additional service calls after the job is complete and service satisfaction
