Commissioning Safety Systems
Before power up, verify wiring, terminal connections and stability of mounting for
all integral safety equipment including, but not limited to:
•
Power
supplies
•
Control
modules
•
Field detection devices
•
Signaling / output devices
•
Accessories connected to field and signaling devices
After the initial application of power (and any factory specified warm-up period) to
the safety system, verify that all signal outputs, to and from devices and modules,
are within the manufacturers’ specifications. Initial testing should be performed
per the manufacturers’ recommendations and instructions.
Proper system operation should be verified by performing a full, functional test of
all component devices of the safety system, ensuring that the proper levels of
alarming occur.
Fault/Malfunction circuit operation should be verified.
Periodic Testing of Field Devices
Periodic testing/calibrating should be performed per the manufacturers’
recommendations and instructions. Testing/Calibrating procedures should
include, but not be limited to:
•
Verify integrity of all optical surfaces and devices
•
For flame detectors, use the appropriate test lamp
When testing produces results outside of the manufacturers’ specifications,
replacement of the suspect device(s) should be performed as necessary.
Maintenance intervals should be independently established through a
documented procedure, including a Maintenance log maintained by plant
personnel or third party testing services.
