Paigalduskoht

Paigalduskoht is a term used in Estonian technical documentation to refer to the location where a device or system is installed. It designates the target position, mounting surface, or installation area specified by a plan, manual, or manufacturer’s instructions. The concept is used across sectors such as electronics, appliances, electrical installations, HVAC, plumbing, and information technology equipment, as well as software or hardware deployment in data centers or industrial plants. In documents, paigalduskoht is often shown on drawings or described in step-by-step guides to ensure that installation occurs in the correct place and orientation.

Selecting an appropriate paigalduskoht involves considering several factors. Structural capacity and surface condition determine whether a wall, rack, or base can bear the weight and withstand loads. Accessibility is required for operation, maintenance, and future upgrades. The site must provide suitable power supply, grounding, and data or communication connections, as well as proper ventilation and protection from dust, moisture, heat, and corrosive influences. Proximity to other equipment, cables, and utilities should minimize interference and ensure safe routing. Compliance with applicable standards, safety regulations, and manufacturer specifications is essential.

The installation process typically includes site verification, measurement, marking, and preparing the mounting surface, followed by mounting, connection, testing, and documentation. Clear labeling of the paigalduskoht helps maintenance staff locate and service equipment. In practice, the term emphasizes that installation decisions are tied to physical location and environmental suitability, not just the device being installed.
