During an installation, if the wiring specified is not being followed but calculations show safety, what is the appropriate action?

When faced with a situation where the specified wiring is not being followed, but calculations indicate that safety is maintained, the most appropriate course of action involves clear communication with the customer regarding the implications of this discrepancy. It is essential to explain the potential risks or consequences of not adhering to specified wiring practices, which often align with codes and standards designed to ensure safety and reliability.

By explaining the cost of correction, you empower the customer to make an informed decision regarding whether to adhere to the original specifications or to accept the current situation with the understanding of any associated risks. This approach also fosters transparency and trust, as it demonstrates a commitment to maintaining safety and compliance while also respecting the client's budget and priorities. The focus is on ensuring the customer is fully aware of what they are agreeing to, thereby aligning with best practices in fire alarm system installation and maintenance.
