Bidding a small town well. A TVSS has been spec'd. No big deal until we read down to a requirement for a factory-authorized service representative is to inspect the installation and to train the Owners maintenace personnel on procedures for maintaining suppressors. One Mfg said a min of $10-15,000 for this service on a piece that has basically no user replacable parts. They laughed and said to take exception to this requirement but why do engineers do this? That is almost equal to my whole part of the project.

A spec'd air intake louver is $800. What the___!!???
 
Well I do a lot of TVSS installation, even have trained techs to inspect and test the things. The test equipment to test the modules is very expensive.

However if you buy a quality TVSS with indicators and alarm contacts training is real simple. Green light = good, Red light or no light = Bad. You know idiot lights. Or wire the alarm through a 10-HP siren, that ought to get someones attention. :cool:
