Ideally held at the job site, this technical consultation should include the Client, the Color Kinetics sales representative, and when applicable, the Architect, Lighting Designer, and/or the General Contractor, and must include the Electrical Contractor. Color Kinetics recommends that this consultation take place prior to the electrical contractor bidding procedure, so that the Applications Engineer can present the proper and efficient installation techniques. When combined with the on-site supervision service (see below), this consultation results in smooth installations and trouble-free operation.
A Color Kinetics Applications Engineer is on-site to monitor the installation and start up of all Color Kinetics products used. This service includes supervision of the correct manner of addressing Color Kinetics luminaires, verification of proper data and power wiring configurations, programming of Color Kinetics controllers, and if necessary, troubleshooting of the entire Color Kinetics system.
All Color Kinetics products (and third-party products, if applicable) and installation personnel must be on-site and ready for installation supervision upon the pre-negotiated arrival of the Color Kinetics Applications Engineer. If the Applications Engineer arrives at the job site and the above items/personnel are not ready for the installation, the Client will forfeit the pre-paid deposit for the delay.
Applications Engineers will obtain “sign in” and “sign out” signatures from an authorized individual for all services performed, and will comply with the not-to-exceed amount agreed upon in the signed Applications Engineering Services Commission Quote and Authorization Form. Any additional service time needed requires a signed change order to the Applications Engineering Services Commission Quote and Authorization Form. Color Kinetics will make reasonable efforts to prevent any such additional charges from accruing.
All equipment should be installed per the National Electric Code and local building regulations. A certified electrical contractor who meets state or local regulations and code must be on-site for all primary electrical work. Color Kinetics Applications Engineers are not journeymen or electrical contractors, and will only advise and supervise the installation and start up of Color Kinetics products. The Client is required to obtain, at its own expense, any and all permits, licenses, certificates, franchises, permissions, clearances, registrations, qualifications or authorizations necessary or desirable for Color Kinetics to perform the services.
The Client understands that, if any of the prerequisites are not met, unpredictable or undesirable results may occur, and that such results are not the responsibility of Color Kinetics. Color Kinetics will make all reasonable efforts to work with the existing conditions, but at any point may refuse to proceed with the project if the Applications Engineer determines that to do so would not be in the best interest of the Client and/or Color Kinetics.
An Applications Engineering Services Commission Quote is valid for thirty (30) days from date of issue. A new quotation will be issued after this time at the request of the Client. Color Kinetics reserves the right to extend this quotation beyond 30 days.
