Chapter 3:  Site Preparation
Getting Started
The first step to preparing the selected site is to read the following two
sections – About Site Preparation and Customer Responsibilities.
These sections provide important information about NCR’s and your
responsibilities to keep the NCR 7870 safe and in good working order.
The next step is to evaluate the chosen site for its suitability.  As a
minimum, these conditions need to be accessed:
 
Is the environment controlled within the 7870’s operational range
for temperature, temperature change, relative humidity, barometric
pressure, ambient light, acoustic noise, vibration, and shock?
 
Will other electronics be placed in checkstand which could
necessitate use of forced air to regulate the temperature?
 
Will the power circuit to supply the 7870 be
 
dedicated to NCR equipment only and so labeled,
 
equipped with an isolated, insulated ground,
 
providing the required input to the Power Supply,
 
equipped with a recessed, 15-amp circuit breaker convenient to
the checker, and
 
equipped with protection against voltage transients?
 
Is the checkstand
 
able to securely support the weight of the 7870 and
 
properly ventilated?
 
Has the plan for the checkstand design considered
 
use of a diverter or an adjustable plate,
 
clearance needed for service and customer viewing of display,
 
location and size of hole for cable routing, and
 
providing enough slack in cables so 7870 may be removed from
checkstand for service without disconnection?
