Note 1: Production rates are indicative only.
Note 2: Rates vary based on:
- Mounting location
- Access conditions
- Power availability
- Network infrastructure
- Integration requirements
- Testing protocols
Note 3: Installation calculation formula:
P = (BU × MF × AF × IF) – DC, where:
- BU = Base units
- MF = Mounting factor (1.0-1.4)
- AF = Access factor (0.8-1.2)
- IF = Integration factor (0.9-1.3)
- DC = Delay constant
