Who normally performs trial installations?

• A. Prime Unit
• B. Primary Unit
• C. Designated Unit
• D. Contractor

Answer: (D)

Trial installations are the hands-on setup phase where the equipment is actually installed, wired, and tested in a controlled environment to verify it meets the design and safety requirements before full deployment. This role is normally filled by the contractor—the organization contracted to supply and integrate the equipment—because they carry responsibility for the installation work, correct tooling, and procedure documentation. The prime unit or designated/primary unit describe organizational roles in the project, not the party doing the initial installation; they may participate in acceptance tests, but they don’t typically perform the trial install themselves. By having the contractor handle trial installations, you ensure the work is performed by those with the specific installation know-how and whose deliverables include a tested, install-ready product.
