System Start-Up
Procedure to Verify Build
State
Assess the build state of the system against the test documentation. Do the
following:
• Compare the arrangement of the system with the General Arrangement
drawings to make sure the system has been manufactured and assembled
correctly.
• Verify that every item shown in the bill of materials on the General
Arrangement drawings is either in place or is available to be installed.
• Check that any special features, configurations or options called for on
the drawings are present and correct.
• Check nameplates and identification labels against the drawings.
Identify any non-conformance found between the system and the drawings. If
appropriate, correct the drawing. Record each non-conformance in the log
book.
Procedure to Conduct the
Mechanical Inspection
Carry out a mechanical inspection to verify that an acceptable standard of
workmanship has been achieved in the assembly and wiring and that the test
arrangements are correct. Do the following:
• Visually inspect the controller and verify that base units, modules and
terminals are free of damage.
• Review the termination of system cabling against the drawings.
Procedure to Check Ground
Bonding
• Check that the ground continuity does not exceed 0.2
.
• Check that the isolation between grounds is 10M
.
Procedure to Check Power
Distribution Integrity
Check the integrity of the power distribution system to verify that each power
distribution sub-section is wired in accordance with the drawings and that the
subsections are isolated from each other. Do the following:
1. Make sure all power sources are isolated.
2. Switch off all circuit breakers and open distribution fuses.
3. Remove all modules from the controller.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Connect the AC safety busbar to the building earth (ground)
before doing electrical testing or applying power to the system. Failure to follow
these instructions can cause injury to persons.
IMPORTANT
Before you begin this task, you must have checked the ground bonding.
