Field Installation Checklist: Reduce Onsite Rework by 30%

Most rework is not caused by device defects. It is caused by inconsistent installation steps. This checklist is designed specifically for Omnitrust product deployments and has been tested across 50+ projects.

Before installation

- Verify power budget: confirm PoE availability for OG-1000 gateways

- Confirm gateway placement: centralised, 1.5 m above floor, away from metal enclosures

- Confirm device list: cross-check with project BOM and room mapping

- Pre-pair all Omnitrust RC-200 controllers to their assigned rooms

During installation

- Label each device with SKU + room number

- Capture photo for each wiring termination (required for warranty)

- Run Omnitrust Provisioning Tool zone test after each room

- Verify RSSI ≥ -85 dBm for every end device

After installation

- Commissioning: add devices in batches via OG-1000, not one-by-one

- Update firmware only after baseline tests pass

- Export acceptance report via Omnitrust dashboard for the client

- Upload commissioning log to partner portal

What to record (critical for operations)

- Room/zone acceptance photos

- Device serial numbers and firmware versions

- RSSI readings for furthest devices

- Any exceptions and the final resolution

This process is boring but it scales. When every project is delivered the same way, your defect rate drops and your team can support more partners with the same headcount. Omnitrust partners using this checklist report an average of 30% fewer onsite revisits.
