Induction loop supply and installation
It is important that you 'The Customer' fully understand the
technical limits and problems the Audio Frequency Induction
Loop System technology can cause. It is therefore important
that the following terms and conditions set out are adhered
to:
Optimal Information
It is essential that you 'The Customer' inform us of the activities
that will take place in the specified room where the loop
system will be installed and also the activities that may
take place in adjacent rooms (as this may affect the loop
system).
Magnetic Background Noise Interference
All electrical appliances and installations generate some
form of magnetic field. If the field that is generated is
strong enough it may cause the hearing aid user to experience
some interference, which will render the loop system ineffective.
In the event that the Ambient Magnetic Interference is found
to be greater than 20dB we will advise that the installation
will not go ahead, for which you will be charged accordingly.
Magnetic Overspill
It should be noted that by installing a loop system we are
creating a magnetic field. It is possible that this magnetic
field can overspill or cause interference into other rooms
both next to, adjacent to, above or below the room that the
loop system is installed in. This may give cause for concern
in the following areas:
Confidentiality: Conversations may be heard in rooms
that are next to, adjacent to, above or below the room that
has the loop installed, through the use of the T switch facility.
Interference: This may cause a problem with other
electrical equipment within the room i.e. computer monitor
screens, internal telephone systems, electronic music instruments
and existing PA systems.
Magnetic Soak Up
With this particular type of technology, the sound quality
of a loop system can be influenced by metal work. For example:
reinforced concrete, suspended ceiling grids, steel frame
construction, and air conditioning metal ducts etc. If we
are unable to carry out a survey of soak up during pre installation
and we discover the magnetic soak up restricts the magnetic
field strength to below +6dB + 3dB we shall advise that the
installation should not go ahead and you will be charged accordingly.
Further Options
In the event of a non compliance with the above there are
further options that can be considered. These options consist
of the 'Super Loop', FM system or the 'Infra-Red' system.
Survey and Measurement Check Disclaimer
Should you 'The Customer' not adhere to the terms and conditions
that are set out, leading to the absence of being able to
carry out the above test, we cannot be held responsible for
the final outcome.
Acceptance of an Estimate
Should you go ahead and accept the estimate, an official order
is required. Verbal orders are not acceptable.
VAT Note
The proposed works are solely for those who have a hearing
disability and wear a hearing aid with the T switch facility.
The VAT element can therefore be zero rated providing that
the purchaser is a registered charity and completes a declaration
form as supplied by us.
