I find the German "kundenseitig" always a bit tricky...
Does it mean to be provided by the customer or on the customer's site?
Heizung Ein/Aus über Taster oder kundenseitige potentialfreie Kontakte.
So my translation reads: Heating system On/Off by pushbutton or floating contacts to be provided by the customer.

I would agree completely to your translation; in connection with construction and engineering, "kundenseitig" refers to materials, facilities and equipment provided by the customer (which is normally at the construction site as well) (I've translated a lot of construction contracts); you might also leave out the "to be" IMHO
