Manufacturers tend to prefer internet media, but considering that after purchasing the next step is installation, customers prefer that products came with installation instructions and a copy of the conformity certificate. The best way to provide these instructions I think that is the old but good paper, with detailled drawings. It is not feasible a installation worker stopping its job to access an internet terminal, and then coming back to his task, and repeat this cycle again and again for each equipment to be installed. So, a suggestion is: installation instructions in paper within the equipment box (one sheet per box seems enough); maintenance instructions can be available on the internet.
